e/Light verb

Information
has gloss	eng: In linguistics, a light verb is a verb participating in complex predication that has little semantic content of its own, but provides through inflection some details on the event semantics, such aspect, mood, or tense. The semantics of the compound, as well as its argument structure, are determined by the head or primary component of the compound, which may be a verb or noun (V+V or V+N compounds). Other names for "light verb" include: vector verb or explicator verb, emphasising its role within the compound; or thin verb or semantically weak verb, emphasising (as with "light") its lack of semantics. A "semantically weak" verb is not to be confused with a "weak verb" as in the Germanic weak inflection. Light verbs are similar to auxiliary verbs in some ways.

German
has gloss	deu: Ein Funktionsverb ist ein Verb, das eine sehr allgemeine Bedeutung hat und Bestandteil eines Funktionsverbgefüges ist. Beispiele sind Verben wie „bringen, kommen, machen“ in Wendungen wie „zur Aufführung bringen“, „in Gang kommen“, „einen Satz machen“. Funktionsverben tragen nur wenig zur Bedeutung des Funktionsverbgefüges bei; ihre Hauptfunktion wird darin gesehen, dass sie die Personalendung der Verben und damit deren grammatischen Funktionen in den Satz einbringen.
