How this verb works
- Regular verb. The stem is lik. The infinitive likken has k before -en, one of the sounds in 't kofschip (t, k, f, s, ch, p), so the past tense takes -te (likte, likten) and the participle ends in -t (gelikt).
- When jij comes after the verb, the -t drops: jij likt, but lik jij?
