Etymology

From a conflation of Old High German brengen and bringan, similarly as in Dutch brengen.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈbʀɛŋə/

Verb

brenge (third-person singular present brengk or brengt, past tense brat or braach or braacht, past participle jebrat or jebraach or gebraacht)

  1. (most dialects) to bring; to take something somewhere
    Brengs de dat evvens en de Köch? Dat wör leev von dir.
    Would you just take this to the kitchen? That would be sweet of you.

Usage notes

  • The forms brengk; brat, braach; jebrat, jebraach are Ripuarian, while brengt; braacht; gebraacht are Moselle Franconian. In both groups, the past participle may also occur without the prefix, thus being the same as the past tense.
  • The 2nd and 3rd persons singular of the present, chiefly in Ripuarian, may exhibit a vowel change /ɛ//e/, which is not reflected in spelling.

Dutch

Verb

brenge

  1. (archaic) singular present subjunctive of brengen
