Grammar & Usage
How it works
Consists of the reflexive pronoun 'sich' (accusative), the adverb 'heimlich' (secretly), and the regular weak verb 'verabreden'. When specifying the other party, it governs the preposition 'mit' followed by the dative case. The purpose of the meeting can be attached using 'zu' + dative.
