transmittierten

Transmittierten is a conjugated form of the German verb transmittieren. The verb, a loanword from English transitive terminology, means to transmit, convey, or forward data, signals, or information. The specific form transmittierten is the Präteritum (simple past) for plural subjects, most commonly ich we and they in spoken or written narration. In other words, it corresponds to “we transmitted” or “they transmitted.” Examples include: Wir transmittierten die Daten an den Server. Sie transmittierten die Signale über das Netzwerk.

The verb transmittieren is built from the prefix trans- and the verb mittieren, with the -ieren suffix indicating a borrowed, modern verb. It entered German through technical and scientific usage, reflecting activities in communications, computing, broadcasting, and related fields. Related verbs in German include übertragen (to transfer, transmit) and übermitteln (to convey, transmit), which may be used as alternatives depending on context.

Usage and grammar notes: In formal written German, the Präteritum form transmittierten appears in narratives or reports, especially in journalism, academic writing, or historical descriptions. In everyday spoken German, the Perfekt with haben is more common, for example: Wir haben die Daten transmittiert. The past participle remains transmittiert, which is also the form used with other tenses when combined with auxiliary verbs. The present tense is transmittiert; the present participle is transmittierend.
