Angeordneten

Angeordneten is a German attributive adjective form derived from the past participle angeordnet of the verb anordnen, meaning to order, command, or arrange. In German, adjectives used attributively decline to reflect case, gender, number, and the determiner. The ending -en appears in the plural after definite determiners, and also in other plural cases. Therefore angeordneten is the standard form for the plural when the noun is definite or the determiner signals a definite sense, across various cases.

In practice, angeordneten commonly modifies plural nouns referring to directives, measures, or instructions that an authority has issued. It is not a separate dictionary entry, but a declined form of angeordnet used as an adjective. When the participle is used predicatively after a linking verb, the ending is typically not the same as the attributive form; for example, Die Maßnahmen sind angeordnet (the measures are ordered).

Examples:

- Die angeordneten Maßnahmen wurden umgesetzt. (nominative plural)

- Wir müssen die angeordneten Maßnahmen befolgen. (accusative plural)

- Den angeordneten Maßnahmen ist Folge zu leisten. (dative plural)

- Der Inhalt der angeordneten Maßnahmen ist klar. (genitive plural)

Etymology and related forms: angeordnet originates from the prefix an- with ordnen, forming the past participle angeordnet, which can function as an adjective. Related forms include the base verb anordnen and other declined adjective forms such as angeordnete (singular) and angeordnetes Dokument (neuter singular).

In usage, angeordneten is typical in formal or administrative language to describe authorities’ directives and the corresponding actions that must be followed.
