aussenden

Aussenden is a German verb with a separable prefix meaning to send out, dispatch, emit, or broadcast something outward. The term can refer to the physical sending of objects, the dispatch of information, or the emission of signals or radiation. The noun Aussendung denotes the act or result of sending out, and the word is commonly used in formal or organizational contexts, such as official communications or press releases. In everyday speech, more general verbs like absenden or verschicken are often used for mail, while aussenden emphasizes outward distribution or dissemination.

Conjugation and usage: Aussenden is a regular verb. In the present tense it is conjugated as ich sende aus, du sendest aus, er/sie/es sendet aus, wir senden aus, ihr sendet aus, sie senden aus. The prefix aus is separated in main-clause constructions, e.g., ich sende die Unterlagen aus. The past participle is ausgesandt, and the perfect tense is formed with haben: ich habe ausgesandt. The verb can also appear in passive forms: wird ausgesandt.

Noun forms and related terms: The noun Aussendung refers to the act of sending out or to the thing that is sent, such as a dispatch. In media contexts, Presseaussendung or Pressemitteilung is commonly used to mean a press release. Related verbs include absenden (to mail off) and ausstrahlen (to broadcast, for radio or TV), which is more typical for media broadcasting than aussenden.

Examples: Die Behörde hat eine Aussendung an die Presse verschickt. Die Firma veröffentlichte eine Presseaussendung mit den neuesten Geschäftszahlen. Die Unterlagen wurden aus dem Archiv ausgesandt.
