umgewandelte

Umgewandelte is the attributive form of the German past participle umgewandelt, derived from the verb umwandeln, meaning to transform, convert, or change in form. In practice, umgewandelte functions as an adjective that describes something that has already undergone a transformation. Its ending changes according to gender, number, and case, typically appearing as umgewandelte in feminine singular and in plural forms such as umgewandelte Dateien or umgewandelte Formen, with other endings possible in different grammatical contexts.

The term is common in technical, scientific, and data-processing language, where it denotes items that have been converted or reformatted. In data handling, one might speak of umgewandelte Daten or umgewandelte Dateien to indicate that the data have been transformed to a new structure, encoding, or schema. In chemistry or biology, it can describe compounds or structures that have been chemically or structurally altered, for example umgewandelte Verbindungen or umgewandelte Strukturen.

Etymologically, umwannwandel derives from the prefix um- (“around” or “completely”) plus wandeln (“to change, transform”). The participle umgewandelt forms the basis for adjectives like umgewandelte, which can be used predicatively with a form of sein (e.g., Die Datei ist umgewandelt) or attributively before a noun (e.g., die umgewandelte Datei).

See also: umwandeln, Umwandlung, transformieren, konvertieren. The usage of umgewandelte follows standard German adjective declension rules and typically appears in contexts emphasizing that a prior transformation has occurred.
