afgeleverde

Afgeleverde is a Dutch adjective and past participle form derived from the verb afleveren, meaning to deliver or hand over. The prefix af- conveys completion or fulfillment, and afgeleverde is used to describe items that have already been delivered. In practice it appears in logistics, procurement, administration, and contract language to indicate the status of goods, documents, or tasks after delivery.

Usage and examples

Afgeleverde goederen (delivered goods) or afgeleverde documenten (delivered documents) are common phrases in shipping, invoicing, and records management. The form functions as an attributive adjective before a noun, for example: de afgeleverde zending (the delivered shipment). In legal or formal contexts it helps distinguish items that have been handed over from those that are still pending.

Linguistic notes

The standard past participle of afleveren is geleverd, and afgeleverde is the adjectival form used before a noun to express the state after delivery. The term is closely related to, but distinct from, geleverd (delivered) as a passive participle, and from geleverde with no prefix, which also means delivered in some contexts. The exact spelling and agreement follow ordinary Dutch adjective rules, varying with definite articles and number.
