Category:Dutch class 1 strong verbs

      The first class is the largest and most regular class of Dutch strong verbs.

      The paradigm is:

      /ɛɪ/ - /eː/ - /eː/ - /eː/, for example kijken - keek - keken - gekeken

      The diphthong /ɛɪ/ is written with ij and there are but few verbs with an ij in the stem that are weak. On the other hand, verbs with ei are, as a rule, weak.
