Ausgegebenen

Ausgegebenen is the declined form of the German past participle ausgegeben, derived from the verb ausgeben, which can mean to issue, to hand out, or to spend. As a participle, ausgegeben is commonly used as an adjective, and the ending -en shown in ausgegebenen reflects its grammatical role in a specific case and number.

Grammatically, ausgeben can function as a verbal prefix-plus-verb combination or as a participle used adjectivally. When used attributively before a plural noun with a definite article or a der-word, it takes the ending -en, yielding die ausgegebenen Beträge, den ausgegebenen Mitteln, and similar forms. This form indicates that the items described have already been issued, handed out, or spent.

Typical meanings align with its sense in context:

- Issued or handed out: Ausgegebene Dokumente (documents that have been issued).

- Spent or expended: Ausgegebene Beträge or ausgegebene Mittel (amounts spent or funds allocated).

In other constructions, the past participle auch appears in passive or perfect tenses, as in Es wurden ausgegeben (they were issued/spent) or Die Beträge wurden ausgegeben. In such uses, the form ausgebenen does not occur; it appears only in attributive position before a plural noun.

Related terms include ausgeben (to issue, to spend), Ausgabe (issuance, expenditure), and Ausgaben (expenses). The word does not function as a common standalone noun; when needed, the context or capitalization would indicate whether it is part of a phrase describing issued items or spent funds.
