Low German is a different language, probably spoken by a few people in northern Germany. If you want to be understood everywhere you shouldn't learn Low German words. Apparently they use wesen as an alternative to sein, so it also means to be. Etymologically this is very interesting, we probably got our past participle from there

@mabue99 Wikitionary lists it as a verb in Low German (what does mean?)
