Beladene

Beladene is the past participle of the German verb beladen, meaning to load or to burden. In contemporary German usage, beladene functions primarily as an adjective describing something that has cargo or load on it. It can also appear in predicative position, for example in phrases like Das Fahrzeug ist beladen, meaning the vehicle is loaded.

Grammatical notes: beladene declines like a regular German adjective. Its form changes with gender, number, and case and also depends on whether it is used with a definite article, an indefinite article, or no article at all. Typical examples include: das beladene Fahrzeug (neuter singular, with definite article), die beladene Ladung (feminine singular, with definite article), die beladenen Fahrzeuge (plural, with definite article). With an indefinite article or without an article, you would encounter forms such as ein beladenes Fahrzeug, eine beladene Ladung, beladene Lasten, or beladenes Fahrzeug in the singular neuter, depending on the case.

Usage and meaning: beladene is commonly used in logistics, shipping, and transport contexts to indicate that a vehicle, container, or cargo item carries a load. It also appears in more general descriptions of objects that are currently loaded, as well as in safety and documentation language where the status of being loaded has relevance for handling, securing, or transport planning.

Etymology and related terms: beladene derives from beladen, which itself combines the prefix be- with laden (load). Related terms include Laden (load), Fracht (freight), Ladung (cargo), and beladen (loaded, past participle).
