gerepareerde

Gerepareerde is the past participle of the Dutch verb repareren used as an adjective to mean that something has undergone repair and is in a repaired state. The base past participle is gerepareerd; when placed before a noun as an attributive modifier, it takes the -e ending: de gerepareerde auto, het gerepareerde apparaat, twee gerepareerde bruggen. In predicative use with a linking verb such as zijn, the form is gerepareerd: De auto is gerepareerd.

Usage: Gerepareerde is common in descriptions of mechanical, electrical, or structural repairs. It signals that intervention has occurred, but it does not specify who performed the repair or the quality of the result. It appears in maintenance logs, repair reports, insurance documents, and journalistic writing about repairs.

Examples: De gerepareerde klok loopt weer precies. De gerepareerde brug geeft weer veiligheid aan het verkeer. De auto is gerepareerd en rijdt weer goed.

Notes: The form gerepareerde is used for attributive position before a noun, while gerepareerd is used predicatively after a copula (zoals zijn). The term is widely understood in Dutch and translates roughly to repaired, fixed, or restored to working condition, depending on context.
