limitierter

Limitierter is a German adjective meaning limited or restricted. It is commonly used to describe objects, quantities, or editions that are not available in unlimited numbers or scope. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as “eine limitierte Auflage,” “ein limitierter Kalender,” or “ein limitierter Auftrag,” where the ending of the adjective adapts to gender, case, and number of the noun.

The term derives from the verb limitieren (to limit), which itself comes from the English or French lexical borrowings of limit and limittier, ultimately tracing back to the Latin concept of boundary or bound. As an attributive adjective, limitierter can appear with or without an article, and its exact ending changes with gender and case. Common patterns include:

- ein limitierter Kalender (masculine, nominative)

- eine limitierte Auflage (feminine, nominative)

- das limitierte Produkt (neuter, nominative)

- limitierte Auflagen (plural, nominative)

Limitierter is frequently found in marketing and product labeling to signal exclusivity or scarcity, such as limited editions, special releases, or restricted runs. The related noun forms include Limitierung (the act of limiting) and Begrenzung (restriction). In some contexts, the synonymous adjective limitiert may be used interchangeably to convey that something has been restricted or capped.
