gebogenen

Gebogenen is a German adjective form derived from the past participle gebogen, meaning “bent” or “curved.” It functions as an attributive descriptor and is used to describe objects that have been bent. The form gebogenen appears in inflectional contexts, notably with definite determiners and in the plural, as in Die gebogenen Stäbe (the bent rods). It also occurs in the dative singular with a definite article, as in dem gebogenen Stab (with the bent rod). In predicative position, one would typically use gebogen, as in Der Stab ist gebogen (The rod is bent).

Etymology and usage context: The word comes from the German verb biegen with the prefix ge-, forming the past participle gebogen. In German, gebogen can function as a past participle or as an adjective; the ending -en in gebogenen reflects its agreement with case, number, and gender in attributive use (and with definite articles in plural forms, among other contexts).

Relation to other languages: In Dutch, the corresponding past participle is gebogen, not gebogenen, so gebogenen is not standard Dutch. The form is primarily a German inflected adjective and may appear in multilingual or technical texts describing bent shapes or components.

Applications and related terms: Gebogen describes physical curvature found in architecture, piping, furniture, or anatomical descriptions where a component or structure is curved. Related terms include biegen (to bend), Bogen (arch or bend), and Gebogen (as a noun or concept referring to the bent form in some contexts).
