Vermeld

Vermeld is a Dutch word that functions as both a past participle and an adjective, meaning “mentioned” or “stated.” It derives from melden, meaning to report, to mention, with the prefix ver-, which forms a perfect participle. In Dutch, vermeld is used to refer to information that has been cited in a document or discourse, and it is commonly placed before a noun: de vermelde bedragen, de vermelde personen. It also appears in fixed phrases such as zoals vermeld in de notulen.

Grammatical notes: Vermeld can function as an adjective, as in de vermelde feiten, or in predicative constructions like De bedragen zijn vermeld. It can also occur in the set phrase onder vermelding van to indicate sources or attribution, roughly “with reference to” or “under mention of.” The related noun form is vermelding, referring to the act or result of mentioning or listing.

Usage contexts: In legal, administrative, and academic Dutch, vermeld is a common marker that information has been cited or will be referenced. It helps connect statements to sources or items in a list without asserting the accuracy of the content itself. The term is neutral in tone and focuses on the existence of mention rather than judgment about the content.
