How “sucht” is used

Sucht is the third person of suchen, to look for — and it is the exact German counterpart of English seeks in a job advert: Firma sucht Designer, no article, no preposition, the same telegraphic style.

But written as a noun with a capital, die Sucht means addiction — an entirely different word from a different root. Firma sucht and eine Sucht are separated in writing only by the capital letter, and in speech not at all.

Forms of “sucht”

  • suchen infinitive
  • sucht he, she, it

Common phrases with “sucht”

How “sucht” differs from similar words

    Capitalised, and a different word entirely. Spoken aloud, sucht and Sucht are identical.

  • finden to find

    The outcome. Suchen is the effort, and German keeps them as strictly apart as English does.

  • gesucht wanted, sought-after

    The participle on a wanted poster, and also the adjective for something in demand — ein gesuchter Fachmann.
