vorgesehenen

Vorgesehenen is the plural, declined form of the German adjective or past participle vorgesehen, which means intended, planned, or provided for. It is not a separate entry word, but a grammatical form that appears when an attributive adjective modifies a plural noun.

In German, adjectives that follow a definite article or other determiner take a weak ending. When the noun is plural, the common form of the attributive adjective Vorgesehene is vorklarified in the plural as vorgesehenen. This form appears across cases, for example:

- Nominative plural: die vorgesehenen Pläne

- Accusative plural: die vorgesehenen Pläne

- Dative plural: den vorgesehenen Plänen

- Genitive plural: der vorgesehenen Pläne

In each instance the plural form vorgesehenen marks the adjective as describing multiple items that have been planned or provided for.

Usage and contexts

The term is frequently found in formal or administrative contexts, such as government planning, budgeting, project management, and legal drafting. It refers to elements that have been designated in advance, whether measures, positions, funds, requirements, or other items.

Etymology

Vorgesehen derives from vorsehen, a German verb meaning to foresee, anticipate, or provide for. The form vorgesehen is the past participle used adjectivally; the ending -en in vorgesehenen reflects plural agreement with the noun it modifies.
