Xenon Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ändern is used for small things, personality traits, etc., whereas verändern is used for bigger things, like your entire life.So, in the context of your question, geändert would be appropriate.

I don't know such rule like you, Xenon, stated, it's just the question of the context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
