gepresenteerd

Gepresenteerd is the past participle of the Dutch verb presenteren, meaning to present, introduce, or showcase something to an audience. It denotes that something has been shown or announced, and it is used in verb phrases as well as attributive adjectives.

In grammar, gepresenteerd forms perfect and passive constructions with the appropriate auxiliary. For example: Ik heb het rapport gepresenteerd (I have presented the report). Het rapport is gepresenteerd door de directeur (The report has been presented by the director). The passive present form can also be heard as Het rapport wordt gepresenteerd (The report is being presented). As an attributive adjective, gepresenteerd can describe noun phrases: de gepresenteerde resultaten (the presented results) or het gepresenteerde plan (the presented plan).

Origin and orthography: gepresenteerd is formed from the verb presenteren with the prefix ge- and the ending -d, following the regular Dutch past participle pattern for verbs ending in -eren. The form is used across Dutch varieties, including the Netherlands and Flanders, though stylistic choices may vary in formal versus informal contexts.

Usage notes: Gepresenteerd emphasizes the act of presenting in the past or completed sense, rather than the act of presenting in progress. It is common in professional, academic, and media contexts where a work item, findings, or proposals are shown to an audience. In some contexts, it can carry a sense of formality or official communication, depending on the speaker and the accompanying phrasing.
