erbringende

Erbringende is the present participle and adjectival form of the German verb erbringen, meaning to bring forth, provide, or render. Used as an attributive adjective, erbringende describes something that provides or yields the object of discussion, and it tends to appear in more formal or technical writing before a noun.

Formation and grammar: The base form is erbringend, the present participle. In attributive position it takes the usual adjective endings, yielding phrases such as erbringende Beweise or erbringende Leistung, depending on gender and number of the noun. The related noun Erbringung denotes the act or process of bringing forth or delivering. In many contexts, especially administrative or legal, the noun form and related compounds (for example Leistungserbringung) are more common than the participial adjective.

Usage and context: The participial adjective erbringende is relatively formal and somewhat rare in everyday speech. It is most commonly seen in technical, legal, or bureaucratic language where the emphasis is on the production or provision of something. Typical, more natural constructions in German often use the noun Erbringung (die Erbringung von Dienstleistungen) or fixed verb phrases such as Beweise erbringen (to provide or produce evidence). The attributive erbringende form highlights the supplying aspect of the noun it modifies, but many writers prefer the more direct noun-based expressions.
