Ausgehandelten

Ausgehandelten is a German participial adjective derived from the verb ausverhandeln (to negotiate to an agreement). It denotes terms, conditions, or arrangements that have been reached through negotiation rather than imposed or standardized. The form is used to describe negotiated items in attributive position before a noun, for example ausgehandelte Konditionen or der ausgehandelte Vertrag, and it also appears in inflected forms such as den ausgehandelten Preisen, dem ausgehandelten Preis, die ausgehandelten Konditionen.

Usage and meaning

Ausgehandelten conveys that the specific terms were the result of bargaining between parties. It emphasizes the negotiatory process and the final agreement rather than generic terms. It is common in business, contract law, policy documents and political or labor relations discourse. The term can refer to prices, contracts, agreements, or conditions that parties agreed upon.

Examples of context

- Die ausgehandelten Konditionen wurden im Vertrag festgehalten.

- Die ausgehandelten Preise galten als wettbewerbsfähig.

- In den Verhandlungen wurden ausgehandelte Vereinbarungen getroffen.
