-hören verbs

You probably know already, that hören is to hear. But there are other variations of hören that are used often and that don't have to do with sounds. Here's a list.

hören - to hear
zuhören - to listen (also herhören/hinhören - more broadly. z.B. Bitte alle mal herhören, to a crowd)
mit etw. aufhören - to quit something
zu etw./jmdm gehören - to belong to someone or something
sich umhören - to ask around
abhören - to monitor, to wiretap
erhören - to answer (a plea)
verhören - to interrogate (in official way)
sich verhören - to mishear
