gefragtes

Ge fragtes is a German adjective form derived from the verb fragen. It describes something that has been asked about or requested, and it can also carry the sense of being in high demand in certain contexts, such as marketing or media.

Morphology and usage

Gefragtes occurs as an attributive adjective before a neuter noun. Examples: ein gefragtes Thema, das gefragte Produkt. With a definite article the form remains gefragte: das gefragte Thema. With plural nouns the form is gefragte Themen (or gefragte Fragen). The base idea is “that which has been asked for or is in demand,” and the meaning depends on the context.

Noun form

The participle can also be substantivized to form das Gefragte, meaning “the thing that has been asked for” or “the thing in demand.” This usage is less common and stylistically more formal, often found in written or technical contexts.

Semantics and usage

Gefragtes consistently signals a relation to inquiry or demand. In journalism, business, and public discourse it appears in phrases like gefragtes Thema or gefragtes Produkt to denote topics or goods that attract frequent questions or strong demand. It is sometimes preferred over alternatives like oft gestelltes or hoch nachgefragtes, depending on nuance and style.

Notes

Gefragtes is not a separate lexical item; it is the inflected form of the participle used as an adjective. Correct spelling and endings depend on gender, number, and article of the head noun.
