kreisförige

Kreisförige is a German adjective meaning circular or ring-shaped. It is formed from Kreis, meaning circle, and form, as in the common compound kreisförmig, and is used to describe objects that have or resemble a circle or ring.

In everyday and technical language, kreisförige describes shape. Examples include kreisförige Formen (ring-shaped forms), kreisförmige Inseln (circular islands), or kreisförige Zellen (circular cells). The form kreisförige itself is an inflected variant used before certain nouns, and its exact ending depends on grammar and article usage.

Grammatical notes: kreisförige is the attributive form of the base adjective kreisförmig. It appears in feminine singular nominative or accusative: die kreisförmige Form. It also appears in plural before nouns with no article: kreisförige Formen. With definite articles, other endings apply (die kreisförmigen Formen). In neuter singular, the form shown with a definite article is kreisförmige (das kreisförmige Muster); without an article, kreisförmiges Muster is used. The masculine forms and other cases follow standard German adjective declension patterns.

Etymology and usage notes: Kreisförig is a straightforward compound of Kreis and -förmig; kreisförige is simply one inflected form used in descriptive writing. It is common in scientific, architectural, geographic, and biological contexts, where shapes are described precisely.
