ingevoerde

Ingevoerd is a Dutch term formed from the verb invoeren, meaning to bring something into a country or to introduce something such as rules or measures. The word ingevoerd, when used as an adjective, typically appears in the form ingevoerde. It describes things that have been brought in, adopted, or enacted, such as goods, regulations, or policies.

As an attributive adjective, ingevoerde modifies a surrounding noun and indicates that the noun has been imported or introduced. For example, ingevoerde goederen means imported goods, and ingevoerde regels refers to introduced or enacted rules. The sense can be either literal (imported merchandise) or figurative (newly introduced laws or measures). The English equivalents are typically “imported” or “introduced.”

Etymologically, ingevoerd is the past participle of the separable verb invoeren (to import, to introduce). In Dutch, past participles used as adjectives generally take an -e ending in the attributive position, yielding ingevoerde in most singular and plural uses (de ingevoerde wet, de ingevoerde wetten).

Usage notes:

- The term often appears in trade, economics, and law contexts. In government or policy contexts, ingevoerde maatregelen or ingevoerde regels highlight measures enacted or adopted.

- Synonyms include geïmporteerd (imported) for goods, and geïntroduceerde or aangenomen (introduced or adopted) for laws or policies. The choice depends on whether the sense is physical import or formal adoption.

In summary, ingevoerde is the attributive form of the past participle of invoeren, signaling that something has been brought in, introduced, or enacted, with usage spanning commerce and regulatory contexts.
