verpacktes

Verpacktes is the neuter singular inflected form of the German past participle verpackt, used as an attributive adjective meaning “packaged” or “wrapped.” It is generated from the verb verpacken (to wrap or package) and functions like other colorless adjectives when placed before a noun.

In grammar, the form of attributions with adjectives in German depends on the presence and type of article. With a definite article or a demonstrative, the ending is typically -e for neuter singular: das verpackte Geschenk. With an indefinite article, the neuter singular takes -es: ein verpacktes Geschenk. Without an article, the strong ending for neuter singular is also -es: verpacktes Obst or verpacktes Geschenk. The feminine equivalent uses -e in most common contexts: eine verpackte Ware, die verpackte Ware.

The plain participle verpackt is also used as a predicate adjective or in passive constructions: Die Geschenke sind verpackt. In everyday language, verpackt is more common when focusing on the action or state of packaging, while verpacktes tends to appear in attributive phrases describing a specific item.

Nominalization is possible but rare: das Verpackte, meaning “the thing that is packaged,” is a specialized or bookish usage and not as widespread as the simple attributive form. Related terms include verpacken (to package) and unverpackt (unpackaged) or die Verpackung (packaging).
