Kondensiertem

Kondensiertem is a form of the German adjective kondensiert, meaning condensed or concentrated. It is the dative singular form used with masculine or neuter nouns when there is no determiner or when a preposition governs a determiner-less phrase. In other words, kondensiertem occurs in phrases where the noun is in the dative case and the adjective carries a strong (zero) article ending, such as in kondensiertem Zustand or mit kondensiertem Dampf.

In practice, kondensiertem appears in technical or scientific writing to describe a state or material that has undergone condensation. For example, in kondensiertem Zustand describes a condition in which a substance has condensed; mit kondensiertem Dampf refers to steam that has condensed into liquid. The corresponding forms for other cases or determiner patterns differ: with a definite article in dative singular masculine or neuter, the form would be kondensierten (e.g., dem kondensierten Dampf), and with feminine or plural nouns or different case combinations other endings apply.

Etymologically, kondensiert derives from kondensieren, itself from the concept of condensation, and the adjective adapts to German declension rules. Beyond its literal meaning related to condensation, the form kondensiertem appears primarily in descriptive, scientific, or technical contexts rather than as a standalone lexical item. Related forms include kondensierte (nominative or accusative feminine or plural) and kondensiertes (neuter nominative/accusative).
