Verwaltetet

Verwaltetet is the second-person plural simple past tense form of the German verb verwalten. In English, it corresponds to “you all administered” or “you all managed.” The verb verwalten means to manage, administer, oversee assets or operations, or to supervise resources and property.

Grammatically, verwalten follows the regular weak verb conjugation in the Präteritum: ich verwaltete, du verwaltetest, er verwaltete, wir verwalteten, ihr verwaltetet, sie verwalteten. The form verwaltetet specifically marks the second-person plural subject (ihr). Today, this tense is more common in written or historical texts; in everyday speech German speakers typically use the present tense with a perfect construction (ihr habt verwaltet) or simple past less frequently in conversation.

Usage and context: verwaltetet appears mainly in older literature, formal writing, or regional dialects. It may be encountered when reproducing older texts or in stylistic choices that aim to reflect historical speech. In modern standard German, context and chord with other tenses would determine whether to use this form, but it is not a common everyday form outside of historical or stylistic usage.

Related terms: verwalten is related to the noun Verwaltung (administration) and to the noun Verwalter (administrator). The spelling and morphology follow standard German conjugation patterns, with -tet marking the second-person plural Präteritum ending.
