meldend

Meldend is the present participle and verbal adjective of the German verb melden, which means to report, announce, or register information. As a participle used attributively, meldend can describe something or someone that reports or issues a notification. In ordinary language the form is relatively rare and is more common in technical, formal, or administrative contexts. More usual are the related nouns such as Meldung (a report or notification) and the derived terms Meldepflicht (duty to report), Meldeamt (registration office), and Meldeformular (report form).

In technical or organizational descriptions, meldend can appear in compound adjectives to signal that a component or unit performs reporting or signaling duties. For example, a meldende Vorrichtung would be a device that emits a message, and a meldende Station could be described in systems literature as a reporting station. Grammatically, meldend follows normal German agreement rules when used as an adjective.

Usage notes and translation: in English contexts the sense of meldend is typically rendered as “reporting” or “notifying,” depending on the specific function described. The term tends to appear most often in formal writing, specifications, or documentation rather than in everyday speech. If precision or naturalness is desired, writers may instead use verbs or noun phrases such as “eine Meldung erfolgt” or “eine Meldung wird berichtet” to convey the same idea.
