erbringend

Erbringend is the present participle (Partizip I) of the German verb erbringen. It functions as an adjective or descriptive participle in formal language and denotes something that is being provided, delivered, or produced. The related noun form is Erbringung, referring to the act of providing or delivering.

Etymology and formation: The verb erbringen consists of the prefix er- with bringen (to bring) and conveys the sense of producing a result. The suffix -end forms the present participle erbringend, used to describe ongoing or prospective action.

Usage: Erbringend is chiefly found in written or bureaucratic contexts. It is typically used attributively before a noun: "eine erbringende Leistung" (a service or achievement that is delivered). It can also appear in formal constructions such as "die erbringenden Nachweise" in certain texts, though in everyday language speakers usually rephrase with a relative clause or use Erbringung or erbracht/erbracht wurden.

Examples: "Die erbringende Leistung des Unternehmens wurde im Jahresbericht beschrieben." "Die erbringenden Nachweise müssen fristgerecht vorgelegt werden."

Related forms: Erbringung (the noun for the act of providing) and the verb erbringen itself; usage examples typically prefer "Erbringung von Beweisen" or reformulation with a relative clause. In everyday German, speakers often opt for alternatives such as using erbracht or phrasing with a relative clause rather than the present participle erbringend.
