approved · approve
The German word "genehmigt" is the past participle of "genehmigen," which is a verb meaning "to approve" or "to permit." It describes something that has received approval or authorization. This term is often used in legal, administrative, and bureaucratic contexts.
Words with a similar meaning in German include "erlauben" (to allow), "zulassen" (to permit), and "freigeben" (to release or unblock). The differences lie mainly in the contexts where they are used: "erlauben" is more general, "zulassen" often pertains to formal permissions, and "freigeben" is typically used when restrictions are lifted.
