hinzugefügten

Hinzugefügten is a German attributive form derived from the verb hinzufügen, meaning to add or append. It is the past participle used as an adjective and is declined to agree with the noun it modifies. The form hinzufügt stem plus the participial ending -en is common in plural or in certain singular cases, especially after a definite article.

As a participial adjective, hinzugefügten describes items that have been added or appended. It is used to convey that something has been added to a set, document, list, dataset, or other collection. For example: die hinzugefügten Daten (the added data), die hinzugefügten Features (the added features), mit den hinzugefügten Informationen (with the added information). In these instances the ending -en reflects the agreement with the definite article and the plural or appropriate case.

In contrast, when hinzugefügt appears in predicate position with a finite form of sein or werden, it is not declined and functions as part of a passive or perfect construction: Die Daten sind hinzugefügt worden. The attributive form hinzugefügten is thus primarily a descriptive, modifying use within noun phrases, rather than a standalone verb form.

Usage considerations: hinzugefügten is common in technical, scientific, and data-related contexts where elements or data points are described as having been appended. It is interchangeable with synonyms like “hinzugefügte” in some dialects or styles, but the standard written form follows strict agreement with the noun it modifies.
