unverändertem

Unverändertem is the dative singular form of the German adjective unverändert. It is used before a masculine or neuter noun in the dative case when the noun is not accompanied by a determiner that triggers a weaker ending, i.e., in strong declension. The form signals that the described state or attribute remains unchanged.

The adjective unverändert itself means unchanged or unmodified, formed from the prefix un- attached to verändert (changed). In practice, unverändert describes that nothing has been altered in the referenced context. The dative form unverändertem commonly occurs in phrases such as in unverändertem Zustand (in an unchanged state) or unter unverändertem Druck (under unchanged pressure).

For contrast, when a definite article is present, the ending changes to the weak form, as in dem unveränderten Zustand, where the ending is -en. If a different determiner is used, or in different grammatical cases, other declension patterns apply. This word is primarily found in formal, technical, or descriptive German, where precise delineation of a state is required.
