vereinfachte

Vereinfachte is the past participle form and an attributive adjective derived from the German verb vereinfachen, meaning to simplify. In use, it describes something that has been made easier to understand, use, or perform.

Common contexts include everyday language, where one speaks of eine vereinfachte Lösung (a simplified solution); mathematics and science, with terms like eine vereinfachte Gleichung or ein vereinfachtes Modell; and accessibility or communication, for example Vereinfachte Sprache or simplified forms intended for clearer understanding.

Grammar-wise, vereinfachte inflects according to gender, number, and case when used before a noun. Examples: eine vereinfachte Lösung (feminine singular), ein vereinfachtes Verfahren (neuter singular), vereinfachte Modelle (plural). In predicative use, the form is usually not used as vereinfachte; rather, one would say something ist vereinfacht (is simplified).

Semantically, the word signals that a version has been streamlined or pared down, often to aid comprehension or ease of use. The degree of simplification can vary by context and audience, and vereinfachte does not necessarily imply the simplest possible form, but rather a version that trades some detail for clarity.
