rules about conjugation of verbs in German
I've learnt about additional -t/-en/-e to the end of verbs when subject changes.
For example,
Ich studiere / Du studierst / Sie studieren / Er studieret
But today I found a sample sentence "Ich wieβ das" / "Das weiβ du"
I think "subject=du -> weiβst" and "subject=ich -> weiβe" are proper verbs for those subjects.
Is 'Wieβ' one of irregular verbs from those rules? or is that the only exception about "ich" and "du"? or is that becuase of the last alphabet "β"?

Hi Trisha,
there are some rules for verb conjugation like you mentioned.
The correct conjugation for "wissen" is like this:
Ich weiß (I)
Du weißt (you in the singular, informal)
Er/Sie/Es weiß (he,she,it)
Wir wissen (we)
Ihr wisst (you in the plural)
Sie wissen (they)
Sie wissen (you in the singular, formal)
So you are right that "wissen" is not regular, but the only point where that is notable is the "ich"-Form.
I hope that helps you.
