verhandelt

Verhandelt is a finite verb form that appears in both German and Dutch. It derives from verbs meaning to negotiate or bargain and is used in contexts involving discussions over terms such as prices, contracts, or agreements.

In German, verhandelt is the third-person singular present indicative form of verhandeln: er verhandelt, sie verhandelt, es verhandelt. It can also appear as the past participle verhandelt, used with haben to form perfect tenses, as in Er hat über den Preis verhandelt. The verb is commonly employed in business, legal, and everyday settings where talks or bargaining take place.

In Dutch, verhandelt is the present tense, third-person singular form of verhandelen: hij verhandelt, zij verhandelt, u verhandelt. The imperfect tense is verhandelde, and the past participle is verhandeld, used with hebben to form the present perfect: Hij heeft met de leverancier verhandeld. Dutch usage covers negotiations with suppliers, customers, or counterparties, mirroring its German counterpart in meaning though with language-specific grammar.

Etymology and cognates reflect common Germanic roots linked to handel, deal or trade, with ver- serving as a prefix that modifies the meaning in various verbs. The form verhandelt itself is not a standalone lemma; it is a conjugated form of the respective verbs verhandeln (German) or verhandelen (Dutch).

In translation, verhandelt corresponds to negotiate or bargain, depending on the language host and tense. It is primarily encountered in formal or written contexts and in narratives describing negotiation activity.
