Verb

kënnen ‎(third-person singular present kann, preterite konnt, past participle konnt or kéinten or kënnten, past subjunctive kéint or kënnt, auxiliary verb hunn)

1. to be able to, can

Usage notes

• The alternative past participles kéinten, kënnten are quite often used instead of an expected infinitive in perfect subjunctive constructions with another infinitive. Thus: Dat hätt ech kéinte maachen (“I could have done that.”) alongside more regular: Dat hätt ech kënne maachen.
