ingezamelde

Ingezamelde is a Dutch term that functions as the past participle of the verb inzamelen, meaning to collect or gather. As an adjective, it translates to collected or gathered and is used to describe data, funds, donations, or items that have been gathered or compiled. The form ing ezamelde is commonly seen in phrases such as de ingezamelde gegevens (the collected data) or het ingezamelde geld (the collected funds).

Grammatical usage and form: Ingezamelde is used attributively before a noun and typically agrees with the noun in number and gender in Dutch grammar, often appearing with definite articles as the standard form for attributive adjectives. It is also used in predicative position after a linking verb or in passive constructions to indicate that the subject has undergone a collecting process, for example, de gegevens zijn ingezameld (the data have been collected) in contexts where spelling conventions allow.

Context and relevance: The term is common in official reporting, research, journalism, and policy documents where there is a need to indicate that information, resources, or items have been gathered, pooled, or compiled for analysis, reporting, or fundraising. It readily pairs with nouns like gegevens (data), fondsen (funds), donaties (donations), and elementen (elements).

Related terms: inzamelen (to collect), inzameling (collection, fundraising campaign), verzameling (collection in a general sense). Usage tends to emphasize the outcome of a collecting process rather than the act itself.

Note: While ing ezamelde is the standard attributive form, the surrounding sentence structure will determine other possible forms or tenses.
