zugesandt

Zugesandt is the German past participle and adjective form of the verb zusenden, meaning to send or dispatch something to someone. In German, something that has been delivered to a recipient can be described as zugesandt. The term is common in formal or administrative language, especially when referring to documents, information, or correspondence that has been delivered.

Grammatical notes: zusenden is a verb with the prefix zu-; its past participle is zugesandt. It is used with the auxiliary haben to form the perfect: Ich habe dir den Bericht zugesandt. As a predicative or attributive adjective it appears in strengths such as die zugesandten Unterlagen (the documents that were sent) or Das wurde mir zugesandt. In passive constructions one can also say Die Unterlagen wurden zugesandt.

Usage and contexts: The phrase is frequently found in official letters, emails, or forms. Examples include Die zugesandten Unterlagen sind im Anhang and Ich habe Ihnen die Unterlagen zugesandt. The term emphasizes that the materials were sent to the addressee, rather than produced or presented locally. It is often used alongside related terms such as zugeschickt (sent) or zugestellt (delivered).

Etymology and related terms: Zugesandt derives from zusammenstellen of zu- and senden. Related concepts include zusenden, zugeschickt, zugestellt, and Eingabe/Übermittlung. While zentral in administrative German, the form remains understandable to German speakers in business, legal, and bureaucratic contexts.
