minus-square@eestileiblink31•9 days agoThat’s exactly how it works in German. Gebäude (“built”) for building Gemälde (“painted”) for painting Gedichte (“thing that was said”) for poem
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•9 days agoNo, built is “gebaut” not “Gebäude”. The “Ge- -e” circumfix is unrelated to the past participle. It can also be used with nouns, see “Gebirge” (range of mountains) from “Berg” (mountain)
