destilliertem

Destilliertem is the inflected form of the German adjective destilliert (distilled) in the dative singular for masculine or neuter nouns. It is not a standalone word, but a grammatical ending used when the adjective describes a noun in the dative case. In German, adjectives change their endings to reflect case, number, and gender, and destilliertem illustrates the strong declension pattern that occurs without a definite article.

In practice, destilliertem occurs most commonly in phrases with dative context and no article, such as mit destilliertem Wasser (with distilled water) or destilliertem Wein (distilled wine). Here the ending -em marks the dative singular neuter or masculine form of the adjective. By contrast, when a definite article is used, the corresponding dative singular form would be destillierten (for example, dem destillierten Wasser or dem destillierten Wein), where the adjective receives the -en ending after a definite determiner.

Destilliert is the past participle of destillieren, meaning to distill. As an adjective, destilliert describes substances produced by distillation or properties related to distillation. The phrase destilliertes Wasser (distilled water) is a common noun phrase in which destilliertes is the neuter nominative/accusative form. The related form destilliertem appears in dative constructions and in certain grammatical contexts without a definite article.

In summary, destilliertem is a grammatical inflection used for dative singular masculine or neuter nouns in strong declension, as in mit destilliertem Wasser, and it derives from the participle destilliert of destillieren.
