ausbleibenden

Ausbleibenden is the attributive, declined form of the German adjective derived from the verb ausbleiben, meaning that something does not occur or fail to appear. The base adjective ausbleibend describes events, results, deliveries or other occurrences that do not take place as expected. The form ausbleibenden appears in plural when the adjective is declined and used in the attributive position in contexts where the noun it modifies is in plural and the case requires -en, for example: mit ausbleibenden Ergebnissen, die ausbleibenden Lieferungen, die ausbleibenden Folgen.

In grammar terms, ausbleibend is a participle used as an adjective; its inflection follows standard German declension rules. With a definite article or other determiner, the plural ending is -en: die ausbleibenden Ergebnisse, mit den ausbleibenden Lieferungen. Without a determiner, in the plural nominative it often shows the strong ending -e: ausbleibende Ergebnisse.

Usage and nuance: ausbleibenden emphasizes the absence or non-occurrence of something that was expected or reported, and is common in formal or technical contexts, such as studies, reports or contractual situations. It contrasts with ausbleiben as a verb meaning “to fail to occur” and with the past participle ausgeblieben, which describes an event that did not occur in the past.
