wiederholender

Wiederholender is a German noun formed from the verb wiederholen with the agentive suffix -er. It designates a person who repeats something—a task, action, phrase, or sequence—making repetition their characteristic activity. The term is grammatically correct but relatively uncommon in everyday language; more frequent synonyms include Wiederholer or phrases such as "jemand, der etwas wiederholt."

The word follows standard German declension patterns for masculine -er nouns. Typical forms include der Wiederholender, des Wiederholenden, dem Wiederholenden, den Wiederholenden, with the plural die Wiederholenden. Less common variants or feminine forms may appear in some texts, but they are not widely used in ordinary speech.

In usage, Wiederholender commonly appears in linguistic, psychological, or descriptive contexts rather than as a everyday label. It can function as a neutral descriptor for someone who repeats actions, procedures, or statements, or as a stylistic term in analyses of behavior or learning processes. When clarity or simplicity is preferred, writers often replace it with simpler phrasing such as "jemand, der wiederholt," "Wiederholer," or a more explicit description of the repetitive role.

Compared terms include Wiederholer, Wiederholungstätigkeit (the act of repetition), and the adjective wiederholend (repeating). While Wiederholender is correct, its use is situational and may be chosen to emphasize agency or characterize a person within a formal or analytical text.
