Transmittieren

Transmittieren is a German verb meaning to transmit, to send or convey information, signals or energy from a source to a destination. It is a direct loanword from English to transmit and is built on the Latin root trans- plus mittere (to send). In modern German it is mainly used in technical and formal contexts, especially in information technology, telecommunications, broadcasting and data communication. In everyday language, verbs like übertragen, senden, weiterleiten or übermitteln are more common.

Usage and nuance: Transmittieren emphasizes the act of sending something from one system to another, often in a continuous or technical sense. It is frequently found in specifications, manuals and scientific or engineering texts. Because it is a loanword, it can sound more formal or specialized than the more common German alternatives. In some domains, synonyms such as übertragen or senden are preferred to avoid Anglicisms. The noun form is Transmission or Übertragung, depending on the context.

Conjugation and examples: Transmittieren follows the pattern of -ieren verbs. Präsens: ich transmittiere, du transmittierst, er transmittiert, wir transmittieren, ihr transmittiert, sie transmittieren. Präteritum: ich transmittierte. Perfekt: ich habe transmittiert. Futur I: ich werde transmittieren. Partizip II: transmittiert. Examples: "Das Signal wird transmittiert" or, in more idiomatic German, "Das Signal wird übertragen." Another example: "Die Nachricht wurde erfolgreich transmittiert."
