German -ieren doesn’t always become English -ate ✍️
Some German verbs ending in -ieren look similar to English verbs.
But the endings aren’t always the same.

Examples:

• registrieren → register (not registrate)
• kommentieren → comment
• organisieren → organise (not organisate)

💡 Quick tip:
Don’t automatically add -ate to an English verb just because the German word ends in -ieren.
And one interesting detail: commentate exists, but it usually means describing an event as it happens, for example during a football match.
