geüploaden

Geüploaden is a Dutch verb meaning to upload data to a remote server, website, or cloud storage. It is a loanword from the English verb upload. In standard Dutch, the past participle used with the auxiliary hebben is geüpload, as in Ik heb het bestand geüpload. The form geüploaden is not the standard past participle and is usually regarded as nonstandard in formal writing; it can appear informally or as a mistaken form. When used as an attributive adjective for plural nouns, the correct form is geüploadde, for example de geüploadde bestanden.

Origin and usage: The verb uploaden appeared in Dutch with the expansion of internet services in the late 1990s and 2000s. It is now common in technical and everyday language. The noun upload is also used, and its past participle geüpload is used in perfect tenses to express completed transfers.

Usage notes: Typical sentences include Ik heb het bestand geüpload; De bestanden zijn geüpload; De geüploadde bestanden staan op de server. The construction is similar to other Dutch verbs formed with -en from English.

Privacy and legality: Uploading files may implicate copyright, privacy, and security concerns. Users should ensure they have rights to share, check platform policies, and protect sensitive information.
