bezocht

Bezocht is the past participle of the Dutch verb bezoeken, meaning to visit. It is used to indicate that someone has visited a place or person, and it often appears in perfect tenses or passive constructions.

In ordinary past constructions, the base verb is bezoeken (to visit). In the present perfect, you typically use het auxiliary hebben: ik heb de tentoonstelling bezocht. The simple past form is ik bezocht or wij bezochten, depending on subject. As a passive, the verb can form either with worden in the present or with hebben/zijn in the perfect: De tentoonstelling wordt bezocht door duizenden mensen (the exhibition is visited by thousands of people) and De tentoonstelling is bezocht door velen (the exhibition has been visited by many).

Bezocht can also function as a past participle used as an adjective. In attributive position before a noun, it changes to bezochte: een goed bezochte winkel (a well-visited shop) or een weinig bezochte website (a rarely visited website). This adjectival use conveys a qualitative sense and agrees with the noun in gender and number.

Related terms include bezoek (a visit), bezoekers (visitors), and bezoeken (to visit). Common phrases include bezoek brengen aan (to pay a visit to) and op bezoek komen (to come for a visit). Bezocht reflects the action of visiting, while its noun forms and related compounds cover the broader concept of visiting in Dutch.
