geleverde

Geleverde is a Dutch adjective and past participle form derived from the verb leveren, meaning to deliver or provide. It describes items or services that have already been delivered to a customer or recipient. In ordinary and formal language, geleverde is most often used attributively before a noun, for example: de geleverde goederen, de geleverde bestelling, of een geleverde dienst. In predicative use, the corresponding form is geleverd, as in De goederen zijn geleverd.

Etymology and usage notes: Geleverde is formed from leveren with the past participle geleverd, and is used as an adjective when describing a noun. It signals completed delivery and is common in logistics, procurement, invoicing, and contract language. The phrase “geleverde goederen” is a typical example in commercial documents to indicate that the goods have been handed over to the buyer or recipient.

Context and nuances: When describing delivery status in a sentence, Dutch typically uses geleverd as the predicate form (subject is delivered). Geleverde is used when the delivered status modifies a noun directly, functioning like a standard attributive adjective. It should not be confused with terms such as leverbaar (deliverable) or afgeleverd (delivered at a specific destination), which have distinct meanings in logistics and contract contexts.
