   • 2018, Johannes Paßmann, Die soziale Logik des Likes, Campus Verlag, →ISBN, page 158:

     Den hätte ich fast geblockt, weil der so viel von mir gefavt hat, denn das kannst du ja nicht ernst nehmen, ich fühle mich fast beleidigt, aber letztlich hab ich's dann doch nie gemacht, weil manchmal braucht man den einen Fav dann eben doch.

• 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 *favet, sie *favete 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)
