eingebaute

Eingebaute is the feminine singular attributive form of the German adjective eingebaut, derived from the verb einbauen, meaning built-in or embedded. It describes components that are integrated into a larger object or system and are not removable as separate pieces.

Grammatically, eingebaute is declined like other adjectives used attributively. The feminine singular form is eingebaute, while other genders have their own endings: eingebauter for masculine singular, eingebautes for neuter singular, and the plural form eingebauten (often used after a definite article, as in die eingebauten Geräte). Examples include: eine eingebaute Kamera, ein eingebauter Sensor, ein eingebautes Bauteil, die eingebauten Geräte.

Usage and context: Eingebaute components are common in electronics, automobiles, architecture, and software to denote permanent integration into the system. They convey that the feature is part of the original construction rather than a detachable add-on. Phrases such as eine eingebaute Kamera in einem Smartphone, eine eingebaute Küchenzeile in einer Wohnung, or eine eingebaute Softwarefunktion in einem Programm illustrate the typical sense.

Relation to other terms: Eingebaute is the attributive form of the past participle eingebaut. In other grammatical positions, the participle can appear as eingebaut or be used in passive constructions. In English, equivalent terms are built-in or integrated; however, synonyms like eingebettet emphasize a different nuance, often implying deeper embedding or encapsulation than a simple built-in feature.
