Vervaardigt

Vervaardigt is a Dutch verb form, specifically the third-person singular present tense of the verb vervaardigen. It means to manufacture, produce, fabricate, or create something, typically in a production, craft, or industrial context. The sense can extend from making goods in a factory to crafting items by hand, and it can be used metaphorically to indicate the preparation or arrangement of something.

Vervaardigen is a regular verb in Dutch. Its present tense forms are: ik vervaardig, jij vervaardigt, hij/zij vervaardigt, wij vervaardigen, jullie vervaardigen, zij vervaardigen. The simple past is vervaardigde (with the corresponding plural forms as appropriate), and the present perfect is gevormd with hebben: heeft vervaardigd. The past participle is vervaardigd, and the passive voice can be formed as er wordt vervaardigd or het is vervaardigd.

Common contexts for vervaardigen include industrial production and crafts, such as “Het bedrijf vervaardigt auto-onderdelen” (The company manufactures auto parts) or “de ambachtsman vervaardigt sieraden” (the craftsman crafts jewelry). In general usage, vervaardigen emphasizes the creation of a designed, finished product rather than mere processing, and it is often found in formal, technical, or business writing. It is a standard term in both Dutch and Flemish usage, with equivalents such as produceren or fabriceren depending on nuance.

Etymologically, vervaardigen combines the prefix ver- with a root related to vaardig or vaardigen, reflecting making ready or equipping, and over time acquiring the meaning of producing goods. Related terms include produceren, fabriceren, en maken.
