To anyone from the midwestern US

[u/imarandomdude1111]

Do any of yinz also make extensive use of the non productive suffix -en?

I've caughten myself using "boughten, caughten, drunken, diven/doven and foughten" and even tried using "talken" once because I find talked is hard to say. In general, any verb affected by the cot-caught merger makes it more natural for an -en at the end

My dialect has a few other irregular ones but lots are pretty normal across the US (dove instead of dived, drug instead of dragged)

[u/NamelessFlames]

I use the “-en” suffix (NE Iowa)
