präsentiert

Präsentiert is a German verb form derived from präsentieren, meaning to present or to display. As a finite verb form, präsentiert is the third-person singular present tense: er präsentiert, sie präsentiert. It is also the past participle (Partizip Perfekt) of präsentieren and is used with haben to form the present perfect: er hat präsentiert. In attributive position, the past participle can take an ending, as in die präsentierte Lösung, meaning “the presented solution.”

Usage and context: Präsentieren is widely used in business, media, education, and everyday speech to indicate the act of presenting information, products, or findings. Examples: Der Sprecher präsentiert die Ergebnisse. Die Firma präsentiert ihre neuen Produkte. In passive or narrative contexts, the form can appear as Teil des Satzes, for instance: Die Ergebnisse wurden präsentiert. As a noun, related terms include Präsentation (presentation), Präsentator (presenter or host), and präsent sein (to be present).

Etymology and related forms: The German verb präsentieren is borrowed from the French présenter, which ultimately traces to the Latin praesentare/praesentare, meaning to place in front or show. Related terms in German include Präsenz (presence), Präsentation (the act or event of presenting), and der Präsentator/Moderator (presenter).

Notes: Präsentiert/Präsentationen are common in formal and semi-formal contexts, such as corporate briefings, conferences, and academic talks. The form prÄsentiert should not be confused with the past participle used in adjectives; the attributive past participle appears as präsentiert/e depending on gender and article, e.g., die präsentierte Lösung.
