montierten

Montierten is the simple past tense (Präteritum) form of the German verb montieren, which means to assemble, mount, or install. It is used to describe completed past actions with subjects such as wir, sie, or the formal Sie: wir montierten, sie montierten, Sie montierten. For the first- and second-person singular, the simple past forms are montierte (ich montierte, du montiertest).

As a participle form, montiert also functions as the past participle of montieren. In attributive position it appears as montierten to describe plural nouns, for example die montierten Teile (the assembled parts). In this usage, the word behaves like an adjective and agrees with the noun in number and case.

Usage notes: In everyday spoken German, the perfect tense with haben montiert is more common than the Präteritum for the past, as in Wir haben das Regal montiert. The Präteritum montierten tends to appear more in written narratives, reports, or formal contexts. The term covers a range of mounting activities, from furniture assembly to machinery installation and electronics mounting.
