beheizten

Beheizten is the past participle form of the German verb beheizen, meaning to heat or to supply heat to a space, device, or object. As a participle it can function as a predicative or attributive adjective, describing something that has been heated. The form is inflected according to gender, number, and case, for example as beheizten Räume (heated rooms) in the plural, or as das beheizte Wasser in the neuter singular when used attributively in certain constructions. Beheizten also appears in finite verb forms, notably in the Präteritum (simple past) as sie beheizten, meaning they heated (or you heated in the formal you).

Etymology and usage notes: beheizen is a prefix be- added to heizen (to heat). The prefix be- indicates causing or initiating the action. Beheizten, as a past participle, is commonly found in written and spoken German in contexts related to heating buildings, rooms, water systems, or machinery, and in engineering or energy discussions when describing past actions or states of heating.

Typical contexts: heat supply for buildings (heating systems), industrial processes that require heating, and everyday use where a room or space has been heated. In the phrase die beheizten Räume, the participle functions as a descriptive adjective linked to the noun Räume, conveying that the rooms were heated.
