aangevinkt

Aangevinkt is a Dutch term used to describe something that has been marked with a check mark or tick, indicating selection or completion. It is commonly used in the context of forms, checklists, surveys, and user interfaces to denote items that have been reviewed or chosen.

The word is formed from the verb aanvinken, which means to check off or to tick off an item. The prefix aan- suggests that the action has been completed or activated, and the past participle is aangevinkt. In practice, it describes a state or condition rather than the act itself.

In everyday use, a checkbox on a digital form or a physical checklist can be described as being aangevinkt when the user has selected it or marked it as done. It is most common in formal or technical Dutch, while in colloquial language people may simply say “gevinkt” or “gecheckt” depending on context.

Related terms include afvinken, which also means to check off but emphasizes the action of marking items as completed. Afgevinkt is the corresponding past participle. Vink or vinkje refers to the check mark itself. The concept is widely understood in administrative, educational, and digital contexts.
