ausgewählt

ausgewählt is a German adjective derived from the past participle of the verb "auswählen," which means to select or choose. As an adjective, ausgewählt describes something that has been deliberately picked from a larger group or set. It conveys the idea of being chosen for a specific purpose, quality, or preference.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might speak of "ausgewählte Texte" (selected texts) to refer to a collection of writings that have been specifically chosen for their relevance or merit. Similarly, "ausgewählte Gäste" (select guests) implies a group of people who have been invited or chosen for a particular occasion, often suggesting a degree of exclusivity. In a more general sense, it can describe items or options that are considered particularly good or suitable, such as "ausgewählte Weine" (select wines) on a menu.

The nuance of ausgewählt often suggests a careful and deliberate process of selection, implying that what has been chosen stands out from the rest. It is a common term in German and is used to indicate that something is not random but rather the result of a discerning choice.
