basierenden

Basierenden is the present participle form of the German verb basieren and functions as an adjective indicating that something is based on or grounded in something else. In modern usage, basierend is the more common uninflected form, while basierenden appears in declined positions when the participle is used attributively with definite articles or in certain grammatical cases.

Grammar and usage

As an attributive adjective, basierenden declines like other strong or mixed adjectives depending on article and case. It can appear in phrases such as die basierenden Daten (nominative plural), die basierenden Grundlagen (nominative plural), or den basierenden Daten (dative plural). In many contexts, speakers and writers also use basierend ohne ending, especially when the phrase is part of a larger prepositional construction like basierend auf Daten or basierend auf Forschung. The choice between basierend and basierenden forms often depends on formality, style, and grammatical context.

Typical contexts

Basierenden is common in technical, scientific, and formal writing where the text emphasizes that conclusions, methods, or datasets are founded on prior material. The phrase basierend auf is especially frequent to introduce the basis, while basierenden data or basierenden Grundlagen explicitly describes the elements that form the basis. For clearer style, writers may prefer rephrasing with auf-based clauses or with bases expressions such as auf Grundlage von or basierend auf.

Etymology and related terms

Basieren derives from the concept of a basis or foundation and has parallels in many languages that express basis or grounding. Related terms include Basis, basierend (the more common participle form), and basierende Aussagen, which denote statements that are based on underlying data.
