   • 2025 October 12, Philipp Rhensius, “Über Gleichzeitigkeit und ihre Grenzen: Applaus gegen das Ende der Zeit”, in Die Tageszeitung: taz‎^[1], →ISSN:

     Da konnte ich nicht ahnen, dass ich eines Tages Sitcoms binge oder okay damit bin, meine Freun­d*in­nen mehr auf Fotos zu sehen als IRL.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

• As with other verbs of English origin where ⟨a⟩, ⟨i⟩ correspond to [ɛɪ̯], [aɪ̯], the conjugated forms commonly (but unofficially) retain the -e- (as in er *binget, sie *bingete etc.).

• German verbs borrowed from English can optionally form the past participle (Partizip II) in -ed in two cases^[1]
  1. The English verb ends in a silent ⟨e⟩:

     English like → German liken → geliked (previously only gelikt)

  2. The verb's past participle is usually not inflected:

     English relax → German relaxen → relaxed (previously only relaxt)

• But -ed- is not permitted when the participle is inflected, thus:

  meine gelikten Bilder (not meine *gelikeden Bilder)

  ein relaxter Abend (not ein *relaxeder Abend)
