angegeben

Angegeben is a German word that functions as the past participle of the verb angeben and as an adjective meaning “stated,” “indicated,” or “specified.” The core sense is to provide information or to indicate something in a stated form. It is frequently found in official, technical, or data-related contexts as well as in everyday language.

As a verb, angeben is separable in the present tense: ich gebe an, du gibst an, er gibt an, with the prefix moved to the end in main clauses (ich gebe die Adresse an). In the perfect, the auxiliary is haben: ich habe die Adresse angegeben. The simple past is ich gab die Adresse an. When used in a passive or adjectival sense, the participle form angegeben can appear attributively or predicatively.

As an attributive adjective, angegeben declines like other adjectives: die angegebenen Maße, der angegebene Ort, das angegebene Datum, die angegebene Zeit (plural: die angegebenen Zeiten). Predicatively one might say: Die Kosten sind angegeben.

The noun Angabe means “information,” “statement,” or “specification.” Phrases such as laut Angabe des Herstellers or gemäß Angabe reveal reliance on stated data. A related verb pair is data-related: Daten angeben (to provide data) versus Daten eingeben (to enter data into a system).

Usage notes: angegeben conveys that information has been stated or provided, not merely entered. In technical writing, it often appears in reference to specifications, dimensions, or reported figures, while genauere actions like entering data use eingeben.
