verbraucht

consume

Nicht mehr neu oder frisch, weil es schon viel genutzt oder aufgebraucht wurde.

The German word "verbraucht" is the past participle of the verb "verbrauchen", which means "to consume" or "to use up". The verb is derived from the prefix "ver-" and "brauchen", which means "to need" or "to use". The word "verbraucht" is often used to describe something that has been depleted or exhausted.

Similar words in German include:

  • "genutzt" (used)
  • "abgenutzt" (worn out)
  • "verwendet" (used or utilized)
  • "aufgebraucht" (used up)

Differences between these words:

  • "Genutzt" generally means something has been used but not necessarily depleted.
  • "Abgenutzt" specifically implies that something has been worn out or degraded through use.
  • "Verwendet" means something has been applied or utilized for a purpose, without the implication of depletion.
  • "Aufgebraucht" clearly indicates that something has been completely used up or depleted.

"Verbraucht" falls somewhere between "genutzt" and "aufgebraucht," indicating use with an implication of consumption or depletion, but it might not always imply complete exhaustion.
