geührt

Geführt is the past participle of the German verb führen, meaning to lead, guide, or conduct. As a participle, geführt is used to form perfect tenses with haben (Ich habe das Team geführt) and passive constructions with werden (Die Gruppe wird geführt). It also functions as an adjective, describing something that has been led or guided.

In attributive use, geführt agrees with the noun it modifies: eine geführte Tour, mehrere geführte Touren, ein geführtes Unternehmen. In predicative use, it can appear with forms of sein, for example: Die Gruppe ist gut geführt. The sense is that leadership or guidance has taken place, either by a person (a guide or manager) or by a process (a tour being guided).

Common contexts and nuance: geführt is frequent in tourism, business, and daily language to indicate that leadership or guidance has occurred. It can refer to people who lead a group (eine Führungsperson führt die Gruppe) as well as to the state of an organization or activity being guided (ein gut geführtes Unternehmen).

Etymology and related forms: The prefix ge- is the standard marker used to form German past participles and adjectives from many verbs; hence geführt. Related nouns include Führung (leadership or guided tour) and Führer (historically, a leader; usage requires sensitivity in certain contexts).
