voraussagende

Voraussagende is a German present participle and adjective derived from voraussagen, meaning to forecast or foretell. It denotes the act of predicting or the capacity to predict. In neutral usage it is common in technical, scientific, and literary contexts to describe systems, methods, or statements that aim to forecast outcomes. Examples include voraussagende Modelle (predictive models), voraussagende Analysen (predictive analyses), and voraussagende KI (predictive AI). In religious or prophetic contexts the term can convey a sense of foresight, but it typically emphasizes empirical or reasoned prediction rather than divine revelation.

Grammatically, voraussagende is the present participle of voraussagen. In attributive position it declines like a normal German adjective: ein voraussagendes Modell (neuter nominative), eine voraussagende Prognose (feminine nominative), die voraussagende Analyse (feminine nominative). The plural form is die voraussagenden Modelle. The word can be used more broadly to describe anything with predictive properties or that makes forecasts, such as voraussagende Technologien or voraussagende Aussagen.
