Aussuchen has a sense of searching for picking?
Like, if i was to say:
“I’m glad i didn’t choose this one”
the choice is already made… How would that me in German, could you use Aussuchen here?
Yes, the act is still the same, only that it’s in past tense.
That said, if you’re for instance talk about shopping clothes, you’d probably say “nehmen”
– Ich bin froh, dass du das blaue nicht genommen hast.
Or you also find “sich für x entscheiden”.
