geplante

Geplante is the attributive form of the past participle geplant, the adjective derived from the verb planen (to plan) in German. It means “planned” and is used to describe something that has been scheduled or arranged in advance. Geplant functions as an ordinary adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case.

Morphology and examples:

When used with a definite article, the form geplante appears in all three singular genders: der geplante Termin (masculine), die geplante Reise (feminine), das geplante Ziel (neuter). In plural, after a definite article, the form becomes geplanten: die geplanten Termine, die geplanten Reisen. With no article or with a possessive, the endings differ: ein geplanter Termin (masculine), eine geplante Reise (feminine), ein geplantes Ziel (neuter).

Usage:

Geplant is common in contexts such as projects, events, and publications. Examples include the planned schedule (geplanter Zeitplan), the planned measures (geplante Maßnahmen), or a planned release date (geplantes Veröffentlichungsdatum). The word can function in both attributive position (before the noun) and predicative position: Die Reise ist geplant.

Difference from related forms:

Geplant primarily serves as the past participle used as an adjective, whereas geplant also appears in compound verb constructions like Es ist geplant (It is planned). The feminine singular form geplante and related endings follow standard German adjective declension rules with definite articles.

In summary, geplante conveys that something has been arranged beforehand and agrees with the noun it describes.
