Geweitetes

Geweitetes is a form of the German past participle geweitet, derived from the verb weiten (to widen). It functions as an adjective describing something that has been widened or expanded. In German, participles used as adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. The ending -es marks neuter singular in nominative or accusative when the indefinite article ein is used (ein geweitetes Fenster). With a definite article the attributive form changes, for example das geweitete Fenster. In plural, reisings typically shown as geweitete Fenster after a definite article: die geweiteten Fenster.

Geweitetes can also appear in predicative position without an article: Die Öffnung ist geweitet. Here it describes the state of the subject rather than modifying a noun directly.

Usage and nuance: geweitetes conveys that an opening, space or dimension has been physically widened or expanded. It is common in descriptive writing about architecture, engineering or geography, and can be used in any context where a prior size or scope has been increased. It is closely related to synonyms such as erweitert or vergrößert, though geweitet emphasizes physical widening rather than mere extension or enlargement.

Etymology and form: formed by attaching ge- to the past participle geweitet, following standard German participial adjective declension. The precise ending (geweitetes, geweitete, geweitete) depends on the noun’s gender, number and the article used.
