meistgenutzten

Meistgenutzten is a German attributive adjective formed from meistgenutzt, meaning "most used" or "most commonly used." It is used to describe items, features, or terms that have the highest usage compared with others, often in contexts such as technology, data analysis, or linguistics.

Formation and inflection: The base form meistgenutzt combines meist- (the superlative prefix “most”) with genutzt (past participle of nutzen, “to use”). As an attributive adjective, its ending changes with number, gender, and case. Examples include das meistgenutzte Tool (neuter singular), die meistgenutzten Tools (plural with definite article), ein meistgenutztes Tool (neuter singular with indefinite article), and meine meistgenutzten Wörter (feminine/neuter plural with possessive). When used as a noun, it is capitalized as Meistgenutzte, though in standard adjective use it remains lowercase.

Usage and context: The term is common in descriptions of popularity or frequency of use. It appears in reports, product analyses, and media lists, for instance: Die meistgenutzten Apps im App Store, Die meistgenutzten Funktionen dieser Software, oder Zu den meistgenutzten Wörtern gehören. It typically implies a data-driven ranking or survey results showing which elements are most frequently used.

Notes: Meistgenutzte can also occur in a more general sense without numerical data, simply indicating that something is the most used among a considered set. The form is sensitive to grammatical agreement, so the ending -en, -e, or -es is chosen according to number and case.
