kommunizierter

Kommunizierter is a German attributive form derived from the verb kommunizieren (to communicate). It is the past participle kommuniziert used as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies. In everyday language it is less common as a stand-alone term and predominantly appears in formal, technical, or bureaucratic contexts to indicate that information or a state has been communicated to others.

Morphology and usage: As an attributive adjective, kommunizierter changes its ending to match gender, number, and case. Examples in common nominal phrases include: der kommunizierte Bericht (masc, nom sing), die kommunizierte Meldung (fem, nom sing), das kommunizierte Ergebnis (neut, nom sing), die kommunizierten Berichte (pl, nom/acc). The past participle form also appears in other cases and with different determinations, for instance: den kommunizierten Sachverhalt, einem kommunizierten Dokument.

Context and meaning: The term conveys that information, a message, or a state has been conveyed to someone or through a channel. It is often used in documentation, reports, legal texts, project updates, or data transfer descriptions to mark a completed communication step. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone rather than a value judgment.

Relation to related terms: kommunizieren is the verb; kommuniziert is the finite past participle used in compound tenses (er hat kommuniziert). kommunizierter differs from adjectives formed with können (kommunizierbar/ communicable) or from the simpler nouns like Kommunikation. The participial adjective emphasizes the occurrence of communication rather than its potential for communication.
