gesendeten

Gesendeten is the past participle of the German verb senden (to send). In modern usage it mainly functions as an adjective in attributive position, conveying the sense of “sent” or “that have been sent.” The form gesendeten appears when the participle is declined, for example after a definite article in plural or in certain cases.

Usage and declined forms

As an attributive adjective, gesendeted forms follow German declension rules. Examples:

- Die gesendeten E-Mails (the sent emails) — nominative or accusative plural with the definite article.

- Den gesendeten Dateien (to/for the sent files) — dative plural.

- Die gesendeten Nachrichten sind verfügbar (The sent messages are available) — plural with definite article.

Without a definite article, strong declension yields: gesendete Dateien, gesendete E-Mails, gesendete Nachrichten.

Distinctions and notes

The past participle gesendet is used in perfect tenses (Ich habe gesendet). The attributive form is gesendet with appropriate endings when it modifies a noun, but the common written form in many contexts is gesendete (e.g., die gesendeten Dateien) for plural, while der gesendete Brief uses -e in singular masculine with a definite article. The word gesendeten is not the same as Gesandten, which is a noun meaning envoy or plenipotentiary (plural Gesandten). In practical use, gesendeten typically appears in documents, emails, or interfaces to describe items that have already been transmitted.

Summary

Gesendeten represents the declined participle of senden used as an adjective to describe items that have been sent, most often appearing with definite articles in plural forms like die gesendeten E-Mails or den gesendeten Dateien.
