Angefragter

Angefragter is a German attributive adjective derived from the verb anfragen, meaning to request or inquire. The term describes something or someone that has been requested or is in demand. In typical use, angefragter agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case, for example: ein angefragter Experte (masculine nominative), eine angefragte Expertin (feminine nominative), or angefragte Experten (plural).

In everyday language, the related synonym gefragt is often used to express that something is in demand, as in gefragter Markt oder gefragter Redner. Angefragt emphasizes that a specific request or inquiry has been made, sometimes implying that the subject has been specifically solicited or sought after.

The word can appear in business, media, or research contexts. It is also possible, though less common, for angefragter to be used in a nominalized sense, but standard terms for a person who has been asked in a survey are Befragter or Befragte rather than Angefragter.

Etymology and declension: angefragter comes from angefragt, the past participle of anfragen, with the adjective ending added according to German declension rules. Other forms include angefragte, angefragtes, and plural angefragte.
