übereinstimmenden

Übereinstimmenden is the attributive, declined form of the German participle übereinstimmen, which means to be in agreement or to correspond. The base participle übereinstimmend describes something that is in accord with another thing, and übereinstimmenden appears when the participle is used as an adjective directly before a noun, with its ending determined by case, gender, and number.

In usage, übereinstimmenden can occur in plural or in certain singular cases after a definite or strong article, depending on the sentence. For example: eine übereinstimmende Aussage (a feminine singular noun in nominative with an indefinite article), die übereinstimmenden Aussagen (plural nominative with a definite article), and mit dem übereinstimmenden Bericht (masculine singular in dative). The same concept can be expressed without the attributive participle by using the finite verb: Die Aussagen stimmen überein.

The verb übereinstimmen itself is separable in some tenses, typically seen in sentences like Die Ergebnisse stimmen überein. Its past forms align with the regular conjugation of stimmen, while the participial forms, including übereinstimmend and übereinstimmenden, function primarily as adjectives.

Etymology and meaning: the term derives from the combination of überein- (in agreement, together) and stimmen (to accord, to be correct). It reflects the notion of consistency or agreement across items, statements, data sets, or interpretations. In scientific, legal, and editorial contexts, übereinstimmenden and its related forms are used to describe concordant findings, opinions, or conclusions.
