Anlastete

Anlastete is the simple past tense form of the German verb anlasten. The verb itself means to load onto or to burden something, and it can refer to both physical loading (such as placing a load on a vehicle or structure) and figurative burdens (such as imposing obligations or responsibilities). The word is formed from the prefix an- and the verb lasten (to burden or weigh down), and it appears primarily in formal, technical, or literary contexts.

In usage, anlasten is commonly found in engineering, maritime, and legal language where precise description of imposed loads or responsibilities is required. For example, it can describe adding a weight to a structure, or placing an obligation on a party. Because it belongs to a more formal register, it is less common in everyday spoken German, where verbs like belasten or aufbürden are more frequently used to express similar ideas.

Grammatical notes indicate that anlastete is the Präteritum (simple past) form for er/sie/es, used in narrative or formal documentation. The past participle, depending on dialect and context, is typically realized as anlastet or anglastet in modern usage, and it would appear with auxiliary haben in perfect tenses. The term is relatively specialized and may appear in technical manuals, contract language, historical texts, or precise descriptive writing about loads and burdens.
