Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *mōtaną.

Verb

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

  1. must, to have to

Usage notes

  • 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.
