geklärt

Geklärt is the past participle of the German verb klären, meaning to clarify, resolve, or explain. In standard usage it functions as both a past participle and an adjective, indicating that a matter has been clarified. It can appear in perfect tenses with the auxiliary haben (Ich habe das Problem geklärt) or as a predicative adjective (Das Problem ist geklärt). It also serves attributively: eine geklärte Frage, ein geklärter Fall.

Capitalization and usage notes: geklärt is normally written in lowercase when used mid-sentence. The capitalized form Geklärt is not standard in ordinary prose and would typically be seen only as a title, name, or section heading.

Etymology and forms: klären derives from klar meaning clear; the participle is formed with ge- and the suffix -t: geklärt. The adjective declines according to gender, number, and case: eine geklärte Angelegenheit, ein geklärter Fall, das geklärte Problem, diese geklärte Situation.

Related terms: Klärung (the act of clarifying), Klarheit (clarity), Klärungsprozess, Missverständnis klären.

Usage context: In formal or legal writing, geklärt often emphasizes resolution of a dispute or question. In everyday speech, it conveys that details have been settled and that there is no outstanding ambiguity.
