bleed
Wenn aus einer Wunde Blut herauskommt.
The German word "bluten" is a verb that means "to bleed." It is derived from the noun "Blute" (blood) in a more direct connection to the bodily function involved in any injury or wound that causes the loss of blood. Similar words in German include "verbluten" (to bleed to death) and "ausbluten" (to bleed out).
The primary difference is that "verbluten" describes a more extreme and often fatal extent of bleeding, while "bluten" conveys the basic act of bleeding without any emphasis on severity. "Ausbluten" typically implies a significant loss of blood, often over a prolonged period.
