gleitendem

Gleitendem is a declined form of the German adjective gleitend, which means sliding or gliding. It is not a standalone lexical entry but a grammatical form used to describe a noun in specific cases, most often in technical or descriptive language.

Morphology and usage

Gleitendem appears in the dative singular masculine or neuter, depending on the noun it describes. When the noun is used without a determiner (no article), the strong inflection yields gleitendem (for example, mit gleitendem Lager). When a definite or indefinite article is present, the adjectival ending changes to gleitenden (for example, dem gleitenden Lager or einem gleitenden Lager). The form reflects the German grammar rules for attributive adjectives in the dative case.

Semantic role

The adjective conveys a property related to sliding or gliding, commonly applied to mechanical parts, materials, or surfaces. In technical writing, gleitendem regularly describes behavior such as reduced friction, smooth motion, or sliding contact between components.

Examples

- Mit gleitendem Lager wird Reibung oft reduziert. (With a sliding bearing, friction is often reduced.)

- Dem gleitenden Lager kommt eine zentrale Rolle in der Schmierung zu. (The sliding bearing plays a central role in lubrication.)

- Ein neues Konzept mit gleitendem Kontakt verbessert den Verschleißverlauf. (A new concept with sliding contact improves wear behavior.)
