disciplineert

Disciplineert is the third-person singular present tense form of the Dutch verb disciplineren, meaning to discipline, train, or enforce rules and order in people or groups. The verb disciplineren is used to describe actions aimed at shaping behavior, improving self-control, or imposing structured conduct, for example in education, sports, workplaces, or organizations.

Etymology and form: disciplineren is formed with the Dutch suffix -eren, common for verbs derived from nouns or adjectives, and its base can be seen as disciplineer- with the present tense ending -t for third-person singular. The infinitive is disciplineren; the past tense is disciplineerde; the past participle is gedisciplineerd. These forms participate in standard Dutch conjugation patterns.

Usage and nuance: disciplineert is often employed in contexts where authority, rules, or training are applied to achieve orderly behavior or performance. It can carry a neutral or slightly formal tone, depending on context. In some contexts, the term can imply corrective action or punishment, while in others it emphasizes instruction and development.

Examples: De leraar disciplineert de klas door duidelijke regels te stellen. De coach disciplineert de atleet door gerichte feedback en herhaalde oefening. Such sentences illustrate how the verb centers on guiding behavior through structure and feedback.
