geworden
become
Das zeigt, dass etwas früher anders war und sich dann verändert hat.
The German word "geworden" is the past participle of the verb "werden", which means "to become" or "to get".
- Werden itself indicates a process of change or transformation.
- Geworden is used in perfect tenses with the auxiliary verb "sein" to express that something has become or has turned into something else.
Similar words:
- bekommen (to receive, to get)
- sich entwickeln (to develop)
Difference:
- Werden/geworden emphasizes a transformation or change of state.
- Bekommen focuses on receiving something rather than changing.
- Sich entwickeln implies a gradual development, often over time, not just a change in state.
