Beladenen

Beladenen is the inflected form of the German adjective beladen, meaning loaded or freighted. The form arises when beladen is used attributively before a plural noun. In German grammar, adjectives in the attributive position take different endings depending on the presence and type of determiner. When the noun is plural and preceded by a definite determiner or a determiner that signals a definite reference, beladen is declined with the ending -en, producing beladenen.

Etymology and usage: beladen comes from laden (to load) with the prefix be-. The participle beladen can function as an adjective or a past participle in tense constructions, but beladenen specifically appears as the attributive plural form in contexts such as "die beladenen Kartons" or "den beladenen Wagen" in appropriate cases.

Examples:

- Die beladenen Kartons standen bereit für den Versand.

- Die beladenen Wagen verließen das Terminal langsam.

- Mit den beladenen Behältern musste sorgfältig umgegangen werden.

Grammatical notes: beladenen is not a separate lexical entry but a case-inflected form of beladen used in plural attributive position. In other plural contexts without a definite determiner, the strong declension would yield beladene Kartons. The form is common in technical and logistical prose, as well as in descriptive text where cargo or freight is being characterized.
