- The verb '' frisst''
2 Comments
That's the third-person form of the verb "fressen", which you can read about here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fressen#German
According to that there is an English verb, "fret", which it is a cognate of. Though I had never heard of that word before today, and I usually translate "fressen" to "eat" or "feed on".

Menschen essen, Tiere fressen. When a human does not table-sit you can also call his acting "fressen" instead of "essen". Sometimes people say "Er frisst wir ein Schwein." (He eats like a pig.)
Präsens: Ich fresse; du frisst; er/sie/es frisst; wir fressen; ihr fresst; sie fressen
Präteritum: Ich fraß; du fraßt; er/sie/es fraß; wir fraßen; ihr fraßt; sie fraßen
Perfekt: Ich habe gefressen; du hast gefressen...
