angegebene

Angegebene is a German attributive form of the past participle of the verb angeben (to state, specify, indicate). It functions as an adjective meaning “stated,” “specified,” or “given,” referring to information provided by someone or a source. It is commonly used in technical, administrative, and data-related contexts to describe values, data, times, addresses, and other details that have been supplied.

Declension and usage. When angegebene precedes a noun, it is declined to match gender, number, and case. With a definite article, the forms are: der angegebene Wert (masc, nom, sg), die angegebene Größe (fem, nom, sg), das angegebene Datum (neut, nom, sg), die angegebenen Werte (pl). Without a determiner, strong declension yields: angegebener Wert (masc, nom, sg), angegebene Größe (fem, nom, sg), angegebenes Datum (neut, nom, sg), angegebene Werte (pl). The pattern mirrors that of other participial adjectives formed from geben.

Contexts and nuance. Angegebene information is information that has been provided or declared, not necessarily verified. The term is neutral and descriptive, suitable for reporting or describing data and statements. It should be distinguished from the non-attributive use of angaben as a noun (“Angabe” meaning information or statement) and from other participles with different shades of meaning.

Etymology and related forms. Angegebene derives from angeben, with the past participle angegeben forming the base for the attributive adjective. Related uses include phrases like angegebene Werte, die angegebene Quelle, and das angegebene Resultat, all illustrating how the word conveys that the detail has been supplied or specified.
