Gemähter

Gemähter is an attributive form of the German adjective gemäht, derived from the verb mähen (to mow). It is used to describe something that has been mowed. The base past participle gemäht is used predicatively, as in Der Rasen ist gemäht. When used attributively before a noun, gemähter takes the normal adjective endings according to case, gender, and number, for example der gemähte Rasen (the mowed lawn), den gemähten Rasen (the mowed lawn, accusative), dem gemähten Rasen (dative). With an indefinite article, forms include ein gemähter Rasen (nominative) and einen gemähten Rasen (accusative). The exact ending varies with the grammatical context, following standard German adjective declension.

Etymology and usage context: The word combines the prefix ge- with the past participle mäht from mähen, indicating completion of the mowing action. Gemähter functions as a descriptive modifier in landscapes, gardening, agriculture, and ecological or historic descriptions. It is common in texts describing lawns, fields, meadows, or pastures after mowing, as well as in more general descriptions of cultivated or maintained areas.

Related terms: The related forms include the past participle gemäht (used predicatively or in perfect tenses) and present participles like mähend. In everyday German, more common expressions for a recently mowed area might also use phrases such as "abgemäht" or simply describe the state with "gemähtes Gras" or "gemähte Felder," depending on context and grammatical gender.
