Question

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr @terenzreignz What does it mean when a verb has 2 past participles? For example, the past participles of "werden" is "worden" and "geworden"...

Answer 1

It can be due to the historical evolution of the language.

In the case of 'werden', 'geworden' is the pp of 'werden' used as a verb (to become), and 'worden' is the pp of 'werden' used as a modal (auxiliary) to form the passive voice.

Ich bin größer geworden. -> I grew up.
Das Buch ist von meiner Mutter geschenkt worden. -> The book was offered by my mother.

Answer 3

Aber ich "ein spott aus dem tod ist worden" sehe in einen Platz...

Answer 4

It is because you are considering biblical texts which are written in an old-fashioned (16th century) German, where word formation and sentence formation are a bit different.

Answer 5

I see, thank you :)
