Eingetragenem

Eingetragenem is a form of the German adjective eingetragen, derived from the verb eintragen, meaning registered or entered in a register. The form itself is not a standalone noun, but an inflected adjective that appears before a noun in the dative singular masculine or neuter when there is no definite article.

In German grammar, the ending of an attributive adjective depends on case, gender, and whether a determiner is present. Eingetragenem is the dative singular ending -em used for masculine or neuter nouns without a determiner. This form is commonly seen in phrases that express being registered in some official record. For example: mit eingetragenem Namen (with a registered name) and in eingetragenem Grundbuch (in a registered land register). These usages are typical in legal, administrative, or formal contexts.

Eingetragenem can also appear as part of longer phrases with prepositions that govern the dative, and it contrasts with other endings such as eingetragene (weak ending after a definite article in the dative, e.g., dem eingetragenen Namen) or with the nominative/accusative forms like das eingetragene Gewerbe (neuter nominative/accusative) or die eingetragene Firma (feminine). The choice of ending signals both case and the presence or absence of a determiner.

Nominalization is possible: das Eingetragene can refer to the concept or item that is registered rather than to the adjective itself. In such cases, the word is capitalized as a noun.
