vorhandene

Vorhandene is the attributive form of the German adjective vorhanden, meaning existing or present. It is used to describe something that exists, is available, or is currently the case, and appears most often before a noun.

In German grammar, the ending of vorhandene changes with gender, number, and article. Examples include:

- Die vorhandene Lösung (feminine singular, nominative)

- Eine vorhandene Lösung (feminine singular, indefinite article)

- Das vorhandene Problem (neuter singular, nominative, definite article)

- Vorhandene Informationen (plural, no article, strong declension)

- Die vorhandenen Lösungen (plural, definite article)

Predicative use is different: after a linking verb, the adjective form is typically vorhandene not used; instead, one says Es ist vorhanden.

Usage notes and context:

vorhandene is common in technical, academic, and business language to describe data, resources, conditions, or items that already exist or are currently available. It can be contrasted with verfügbar (available) or mit dem Vermerk not vorhanden (not present). The choice between available, existing, or present often depends on nuance: vorhanden emphasizes existence or presence; verfügbar emphasizes accessibility or readiness to use.
