Grammar & Word origin

Grammatically, aufgeführt serves as the past participle of the separable verb aufführen . It can be used as part of a perfect tense (e.g., "hat aufgeführt") or as an adjective modifying a noun (e.g., "die aufgeführten Gründe" – the listed reasons).

The word is composed of two parts:

  • auf-: A prefix meaning "up" or "on."
