Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntas'Verzameld' is a general term meaning 'collected' or 'gathered' and can apply to almost anything – objects, people, data. 'Ingezameld' is more specific and typically refers to collecting things for a particular purpose, often charitable or official, like 'ingezameld geld' (raised money) for a cause or 'ingezamelde goederen' (collected goods) for donation. While there's overlap, 'verzameld' is broader.
No, not always. If 'verzameld' is used attributively (directly before the noun it describes) with a definite article ('de') or a plural noun, it usually takes an '-e' ending (e.g., 'de verzamelde post', 'de verzamelde boeken'). However, if it's used predicatively (after a linking verb like 'zijn' or 'worden'), it typically does not take an ending (e.g., 'De post is verzameld.').
Yes, absolutely. 'Verzameld' can be used for abstract concepts as well as physical objects. Examples include 'verzameld commentaar' (collected commentary), 'verzameld materiaal' (collected material for a study), or 'verzameld bewijs' (collected evidence).
The verb form is 'verzamelen', which means 'to collect' or 'to gather'. 'Verzameld' is its past participle, used as an adjective.
Yes, 'verzameld' is a common word in Dutch, especially at the B1 CEFR level. You will encounter it in various contexts, from everyday conversations to more formal writing.
Some synonyms include 'ingezameld' (often for charity), 'gebundeld' (bundled), 'geassembleerd' (assembled from parts), 'bijeengebracht' (brought together), and 'geaccumuleerd' (accumulated over time). The best choice depends on the specific context.
'Verzameld' means gathered or collected, implying things are together in one place. 'Verspreid' means scattered or dispersed, meaning things are spread out. They are direct opposites.
While 'verzameld' primarily describes things or groups of people being brought together, it's less common to use it to describe an individual's state unless they are part of a 'verzameld' group. For example, 'De verzameld groep mensen' is common, but describing a single person as just 'verzameld' is unusual.
The most common English translations are 'collected', 'gathered', and 'assembled'.
The word itself is neutral. Its connotation depends entirely on the context. Collecting donations for a good cause is positive, while collecting evidence for a crime might be seen as negative by the perpetrator, but neutral or necessary in a legal context.
