adjective

vorliegend

present

In diesem Fall vorhanden und zur Prüfung bereit.

The German word "vorliegend" is an adjective that means "present" or "existing," primarily within a given context, like in a document, discussion, or a specific situation. It comes from the verb "vorliegen," which means "to be present" or "to be on hand."

"Vorliegend" is often used to describe information, documents, or facts that are currently being considered or are available for consideration.

While "vorliegend" is more formal and typically used in written texts or formal speech, words with similar meanings include "gegenwärtig" (present), "aktuell" (current), "vorhanden" (available/existing).

The difference mainly lies in the context:

  • "gegenwärtig" and "aktuell" often refer to the current time or to what is relevant now.
  • "vorhanden" simply notes the existence of something, irrespective of a context.
  • "vorliegend," indicates something is not just existing but also presented or submitted for consideration.
