gründet

Ggründet is a form of the German verb gründen and generally means to found or establish something, such as a company, organization, or institution. The form gründet appears in present tense for the third-person singular (er/sie/es gründet) and for the informal second-person plural (ihr gründet).

Gründen, the base verb, comes from the idea of establishing a foundation or base. The related noun Gründung denotes the act of founding or establishment, and the noun Gründer/Gründerin refers to the founder. The verb is common in business, politics, and civic contexts, where entities are described as being founded or established.

Usage and grammar: In present tense, forms include ich gründe, du gründest, er gründet, wir gründen, ihr gründet, sie gründen. The past participle is gegründet, used with auxiliary haben to form perfect tenses (e.g., eine Firma gegründet haben). The simple past is gründete (ich gründete). The ASCII variant gruendet can be found in texts without diacritics. The word gründen is often complemented by objects such as eine Firma, eine Stiftung, or eine Partei, e.g., eine Firma gründen, eine Stiftung gründen.
