exporterende

Exporterende is a Dutch term that functions as a present participle and as an adjective. It denotes something that exports or is characterized by exporting, such as a company, sector, or economy engaged in exporting goods or services.

In usage, exporterende appears most often in economic or business texts. Common collocations include exporterende bedrijven (exporting companies) and een exporterende economie (an exporting economy). The form can be used attributively before a noun, as in exporterende bedrijven, or predicatively with a linking verb; in practice, the corresponding predicative form is exporterend.

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the verb exporteren; the suffix -ende marks the present participle/adjective in Dutch. The verb exporteren is borrowed from French exporter, through Latin exportare. The present participle can appear in different stylistic positions, with exporterende often used before nouns and exporterend in some predicative constructions.

See also: In Dutch, related terms include exporteren (to export), export (export), and importeren (to import). The concept is commonly discussed in economic writing, trade policy, and business reporting, where distinctions between exporting and non-exporting activity help analyze a country’s or company’s trade performance.
