getoond

Getoond is the past participle of the Dutch verb tonen, meaning to show or display. It translates as “shown” or “displayed” in English. The form is used in perfect tenses with the auxiliary hebben: Ik heb het getoond (I have shown it). In passive constructions with worden: Het wordt getoond (It is being shown) or Het werd getoond (It was shown).

As an adjective, getoond can modify a noun: de getoonde resultaten (the shown results). In attributive position before a noun, it typically takes an -e ending: de getoonde afbeelding. In predicative position after a linking verb, it remains getoond: De afbeelding is getoond.

In practical use, getoond appears in contexts such as presentations, software interfaces, and media reports, where something is displayed or revealed to an audience or user. It can pair with nouns describing what is displayed, for example: getoonde afbeeldingen, getoonde gegevens, getoonde opties.

Etymology and form: getoond is formed with the ge- prefix and the -d suffix, following the regular Dutch past participle pattern. The related verb tonen means to show; its participle form is used widely across tenses and moods, sometimes functioning adjectivally, sometimes as part of passive constructions.

See also: tonen, getoonde, tonen in various tenses. The term is primarily a grammatical description of a participial form rather than a standalone semantic item beyond its role as “shown.”
