ausgestatteten

Ausgestatteten is the inflected form of the German adjective ausgestattet, formed from the verb ausstatten, meaning to equip or furnish. As an adjective, ausgestattet describes something that has the necessary equipment, facilities, or amenities. It is commonly used to talk about buildings, rooms, vehicles, or devices that come with specific features.

Grammatical note: The ending -en in ausgestatteten signals plural with a definite article or determiner, as in die ausgestatteten Räume (the well-equipped rooms). In the plural without an article, the form would be ausgestattete Räume. In singular usage, the endings differ by gender and case: der ausgestattete Raum (masculine), die ausgestattete Küche (feminine), das ausgestattete Fahrzeug (neuter). The predicative form (after a linking verb) is ausgestattet, not ausgestatteten.

Etymology and usage: The term derives from ausstatten (to supply with equipment). It is widely used in contexts such as real estate, hospitality, transportation, and consumer electronics to indicate that a space or item is provisioned with furnishings, appliances, or other facilities. Examples include ausgestattete Apartments, ausgestattete Büros, or ausgestattete Reisepakete. It can imply varying degrees of completeness, from basic furnishings to extensive, modern amenities.

Translation and nuance: In English, ausgestatteten is typically rendered as well-equipped or furnished, depending on the noun it modifies. The choice between "well-equipped" and "furnished" depends on whether the emphasis is on general amenities or on specific furnishings and equipment. The term remains a standard descriptor in German-language descriptions of properties, services, and products.
