eingeworfene

Eingeworfene is the attributive form of the past participle eingeworfen, derived from the German verb einwerfen (to throw in, insert, deposit). It functions as an adjective meaning that something has been inserted, deposited, or submitted. The term is used in both physical contexts (such as coins, notes, or objects placed into a slot or box) and figurative contexts (such as remarks or questions introduced into a discussion).

As an adjective in attributive position, eingeworfene agrees with the noun it describes. Common examples include die eingeworfene Münze (feminine singular), das eingeworfene Geld (neuter singular), and die eingeworfenen Münzen (plural). Other typical phrases are eine eingeworfene Frage (a question that has been raised) or eingeworfene Bemerkungen (remarks that have been submitted or raised).

Usage notes: the form highlights the completion of the action of inserting or submitting something. In physical settings it often appears in relation to vending machines, donation boxes, or coin slots. In discourse, it is used to indicate that a remark, question, or point has been introduced into the conversation.

Related terms include Einwurf (the act of inserting or throwing in) and the passive past participle eingeworfen. The word appears primarily in German-language texts in contexts involving insertion, deposit, or the introduction of a point or question into a dialog.
