getrennnt

Getrennnt is not a standard German word. The correct spelling is getrennt, with two consecutive Ns. The form with three Ns, getrennnt, is generally regarded as a misspelling or typographical error rather than a legitimate variant.

Getrennt is a past participle and an adjective derived from the verb trennen, meaning to separate or divide. As a participle, it can function with auxiliary verbs or as part of compound constructions, and as an adjective it describes a state of division or separation. In practice, getrennt describes things that are not together or have been separated, whether in space, time, or relation.

Usage examples include: Die Wege sind getrennt (The paths are separated); Die Eltern leben getrennt (The parents live separately); getrennte Zonen (separate zones). As an attribute, it takes inflection to agree with its noun, e.g., getrennte Wege, getrennte Zimmer. In phrases about relationships, getrennt can describe marital or cohabitation status, such as getrennnt lebende Partner, though the common modern form is getrennt.

Etymologically, getrennt is formed with the prefix ge- and the past participle ending -t from the verb trennen. It shares its meaning with related terms like getrennt von, meaning “apart from” or “separate from.”

In spelling guidance, avoid getrennnt in standard German. When documenting or editing, correct to getrennt. For unfamiliar contexts, consult authoritative dictionaries such as Duden for precise usage and inflection patterns.
