Gelöste

Gelöste is an inflected form of the German adjective gelöst, meaning solved or resolved. It is used primarily attributively before a noun to indicate that something has been solved or settled. In predicative use, the past participle gelöst is normally used (for example: Das Problem ist gelöst), while gelöste functions are typically found as an attributive form or, less commonly, as a noun.

Declension and grammar: gelöste occurs in the attributive position after a definite article or a possessive determiner, adapting to gender and number. Examples include der gelöste Fehler (masculine singular), die gelöste Aufgabe (feminine singular), das gelöste Problem (neuter singular), and die gelösten Aufgaben (plural). With indefinite articles or no article, different endings appear (for instance ein gelöstes Problem). The form gelöste can also serve as the base for the feminine singular and neuter singular when paired with definite articles, and it appears in other gender/number combinations with appropriate endings.

Noun form: Das Gelöste is a noun derived from the adjective, meaning “the solved thing” or “the solution.” It can refer to a solution, an outcome, or what has been resolved in a discussion or problem set. As a noun, Gelöste is capitalized and used without further inflection in many contexts.

Usage notes: Gelöste emphasizes the state of having been solved, rather than the process of solving. It often appears in technical, mathematical, or organizational texts, as well as in problem sets and explanations where a completed result is described.
