gemäht

Gemäht is the past participle of the German verb mähen, meaning to mow or cut grass. The form denotes that vegetation has been cut, typically grass, hay, or crops, and is commonly used in agricultural, gardening, and landscape contexts.

Formation and form: Gemäht is formed with the prefix ge- and the ending -t, reflecting the stem vowel ä from mähen (ich mäh e, du mäh st, er mäh t). The umlaut ä is preserved in the participle, yielding gemäht.

Usage: In main clauses, gemäht appears with the auxiliary haben to form perfect tenses: Ich habe den Rasen gemäht. It can also be used in the passive voice: Der Rasen wurde gemäht. As an adjective, gemäht describes a noun: ein gemähter Rasen, die gemähten Felder. With definite articles, adjectives take endings: der gemähte Rasen; plural: die gemähten Felder. In predicative position it is used as a state descriptor: Der Garten ist gemäht.

Examples: Der Gärtner hat heute die Wiese gemäht. Nach dem Mähen sah der Garten ordentlich aus. Man spricht auch von einem gemähten Feld, das schneller trocknet und leichter gemäht werden kann.

Notes: Gemäht is a standard internal part of German grammar for describing completed mowing actions and is frequently found in reports, instructions, and horticultural contexts.
