gesprochenem

Gesprochenem is a German grammatical form derived from the past participle gesprochen of the verb sprechen (to speak). It is the dative singular masculine or neuter form of the participle when it is used adjectivally to modify a noun.

In German, participles used as adjectives decline like ordinary adjectives. Gesprochenem appears in the dative singular when the noun it modifies is masculine or neuter. Examples: mit gesprochenem Wort (with spoken word); dem gesprochenen Wort (to/for the spoken word). The form may also appear in other dative constructions with definite articles, such as im gesprochenen Stil (in the spoken style).

Notes:

- Gesprochenem is not a standalone verb form here; it is the attributive adjectival form of the past participle gesprochen.

- The base participle gesprochën is used in compound tenses (e.g., er hat gesprochen), while gesprochenem serves descriptive or attributive purposes.

Common usages often appear in discussions of language, rhetoric, or literature, where “das Gesprochene” (the spoken word) or phrases like “gesprochenem Wort” are contrasted with written language or with the concept of spoken discourse. The form is one of several participle-derived adjectives in German and illustrates how tense and voice information can be incorporated into an adjective through declension.
