aangebrachte

Aangebrachte is a Dutch term formed from the verb aanbrengen, which means to apply, install, or bring to. The base past participle is aangebracht, and when used as an attributive adjective before a noun, the form aangebrachte is commonly used. In predicative position, as part of a verb phrase with zijn, the standard form is aangebracht (de maatregelen zijn aangebracht).

Usage and meaning: The word functions as an adjective describing changes, modifications, or installations that have been implemented. It is frequently found in technical, legal, administrative, and policy contexts to refer to measures, changes, or amendments that have been put in place. It can convey a sense of completion or execution of a plan.

Morphology and positioning: Aangebrachte is typically used before a noun in definite noun phrases, such as aangebrachte veranderingen (the applied changes) or aangebrachte maatregelen (the implemented measures). The corresponding predicative form uses aangebracht, as in De veranderingen zijn aangebracht. The form adapts to number and definiteness according to standard Dutch adjective inflection rules.

Context and examples:

- De aangebrachte wijzigingen verbeteren de beveiliging. (The implemented changes improve the security.)

- Tijdens de audit zijn meerdere aangebrachte maatregelen bevestigd. (During the audit, several implemented measures were confirmed.)

- Een aangebrachte oplossing voldeed aan de eisen. (An applied solution met the requirements.)
