vorgenommen
plan · resolve
Etwas geplant oder entschieden haben, was man tun möchte.
The German word "vorgenommen" serves primarily as the past participle form of the verb "vornehmen," which means "to undertake," "to carry out," or "to intend to do." It comes from "vor" (before or in front of) and "nehmen" (to take).
When used in context:
- "Ich habe mir vorgenommen, mehr Sport zu treiben" translates to "I have resolved/intended to do more sports."
Similar words include:
- "durchführen" (to carry out/execute)
- "umsetzen" (to implement/put into action)
- "beschließen" (to decide/resolve)
Differences:
- "Durchführen" and "umsetzen" often emphasize the act of execution, more about the process or realization rather than just the intention.
- "Beschließen" tends to focus on the decisional aspect rather than the intent or action following the decision.
