mussen

1. plural of mus

From Middle High German muozen, from Old High German muozan, from Proto-West Germanic *mōtan.

• IPA^(key): /ˈmusən/

mussen (third-person singular present muss, preterite musst, past participle gemusst or missten, past subjunctive misst, auxiliary verb hunn)

1. must, to have to

• The alternative past participle missten is quite often used instead of an expected infinitive in perfect subjunctive constructions with another infinitive. Thus: Dat hätt ech misste maachen (“I should have done that.”) alongside more regular: Dat hätt ech musse maachen.

This verb needs an inflection-table template.
