toleriertes

Toleriertes is the attributive form of the past participle tolerieren in German, used as an adjective meaning something that has been tolerated or accepted. It can describe actions, conditions, or objects that are considered allowable or acceptable by a person or authority.

In attributive position the ending of tolerieren’s participle changes depending on the determiner. With a definite article, you typically see das tolerierte Risiko or das tolerierte Verhalten (ending -e). With an indefinite article or without an article, the form becomes toleriertes: ein toleriertes Risiko, toleriertes Verhalten (ending -es). The plural forms follow standard adjective declension: die tolerierten Risiken, die tolerierten Maßnahmen.

The word is common in formal or technical language, including legal, regulatory, or medical contexts, where a practice or condition has been explicitly permitted or socially/legally accepted. It often contrasts with geduldet (mentally passively tolerated) or akzeptiert (accepted as appropriate), conveying a sense of formal or explicit permission.

Predicative use is possible but less frequent: etwas ist toleriert oder es wird toleriert, meaning that something is being tolerated. The attributive form remains more typical when the speaker wants to label a specific item as having been tolerated.

Etymology traces toleriertes to the verb tolerieren, from Latin tolerare, meaning to endure or endure withstand. The German form reflects standard German adjective formation from past participles used to describe nouns.

In summary, toleriertes functions as a grammatical adjective indicating that something has been tolerated, with form and endings governed by standard German declension rules.
