garapenean

Garapenean is a Basque term meaning "in development" used to describe projects, products, or initiatives that are not yet complete and are currently under construction or testing. It functions as an adjective or predicative expression formed from garapen ("development") plus the locative suffix -ean, which marks state or location in Basque.

Usage and context: The term appears in Basque-language documents, software repositories, and media when referring to ongoing work. It is commonly attached to nouns such as proiektu (project), programa (program), or webgunea (website). Example sentences include: "Proiektu honek garapenean dago" ("This project is in development"), and "Webgunea oraindik garapenean dago" ("The website is still in development").

Distinctions and related terms: Garapen is the Basque noun for development; garapenean marks the current developmental status. The expression aligns with the English phrase "under development" and is widely used in software, websites, research projects, and policy discussions to indicate that the work is not yet finished.
