ausgestellte

Ausgestellte is an attributive form derived from the German verb ausstellen, which means to display, exhibit, or issue. The base participle ausgestellt is used to describe something that has been set out or prepared. When used directly before a noun, the form appears as ausgestellte (in many common contexts), but the exact spelling changes according to gender, number, and determiner.

Grammatically, ausgestellte is the attributive past participle of ausstellen. Its ending is determined by standard German adjective declension. For example: eine ausgestellte Skulptur (feminine singular, indefinite article), das ausgestellte Zertifikat (neuter singular, definite article). In the plural: die ausgestellten Kunstwerke (plural, definite article) and ausgestellte Dokumente (plural with no article). The key point is that the ending shifts to align with the determiner and noun being described.

Usage and contexts, ausgestellt typically refers to things that have been displayed or issued. In museums and galleries, ausgestellte works are those currently on display, as in ausgestellte Kunstwerke. In administrative or bureaucratic language, ausgestellte Dokumente or ausgestellte Unterlagen refer to documents that have been issued or provided. It is important to note that ausgestellte is ordinarily used attributively; the predicative form after sein is ausgestaltet? No, the correct predicative form is ausgestellt (Die Kunstwerke sind ausgestellt), not ausgestellte.

Related terms include Ausstellung (exhibition) and ausstellen (to exhibit or to issue). The form ausgestellte is closely tied to its role as an adjective before a noun rather than a standalone noun.
