@Mel467 Maybe the second word was a mismatch and "gehÀuft" was meant instead.

So if I'm talking about verbs like 'können' and 'mĂŒssen' being very common (and important) in German, what word would I use?
- German
Both are appropriate, depending from sentence structure. Example:
"können" und "mĂŒssen" sind Wörter, die in der deutschen Sprache hĂ€ufig vorkommen.
Der Buchstabe "X" ist normalerweise selten, kommt aber in diesem Text gehÀuft (more than usual) vor.
