aangereikte

Aangereikte is a Dutch word that functions as the past participle of the verb aangereiken and as an attributive adjective. It denotes that something has been provided, presented, or attained by someone. In use, aangereikte describes objects, results, or proposals that have been brought forward or made available, rather than merely imagined. The base participle is aangereikt; the form aangereikte is the inflected adjectival form used before a noun (for example, aangereikte documenten: documents that have been supplied; aangereikte voorstellen: proposals that have been presented; aangereikte doelen: attained goals). The sense can cover both physical delivery and formal presentation or disclosure.

Etymology and grammar: the word is built from aan- (toward, on) and reiken (to reach, to hand over). The adjective form agrees with the noun in number and gender, hence aangereikte for plural or definite contexts.

Usage and nuance: aangereikte is commonly found in formal or bureaucratic Dutch, especially in reports, evaluations, or official correspondence. It conveys that an item or result has explicitly been provided or presented by an actor, rather than simply existing or being achieved.

See also: bereikte (reached, attained), aangeboden (offered), aangeleverd (supplied). While related to attainment, aangereikte emphasizes the act of presenting or delivering something to a recipient.
