insertierte

Insertierte is the simple past tense (Präteritum) form of the German verb insertieren, which is a loanword derived from English to insert. The verb refers to the action of placing or embedding something into another object, document, or system. In everyday German, insertieren is mainly used in technical or professional contexts, while in common language andern terms like einfügen or hineinlegen are more typical.

The word insertierte appears when describing a completed action in the past. For example, a software developer might say, “Der Entwickler insertierte den neuen Code in das Programm.” In database or editing contexts, one might encounter sentences such as “In der SQL-Anweisung insertierte der Administrator neue Datensätze in die Tabelle.” In contrast, the corresponding perfect tense of insertieren uses the participle form insertiert, as in “Der Code hat insertiert” or more commonly “Der Code wurde insertiert” or “Der Code wurde eingefügt.”

Usage notes: Insertieren is more common in technical writing, software development, data management, and media editing. In everyday language, speakers often replace it with auch and simpler verbs such as einfügen, einbauen, hinzufügen oder hineinsetzen. In documentation or discussions about SQL, the related term INSERT INTO is frequently referenced, and German texts may refer to this as eine Insert-Anweisung.
