Angehängt oder angehangen mail

A small but important difference in German grammar!

"Angehängt" and "angehängen" are two related but distinct verbs in German.

Angehängt (pronounced "ahn-guh-hent") is the past participle of the verb "angehängen". It means "attached" or "added" in the sense of something being appended to something else.

Example sentences:

• Die Datei ist angehängt worden. (The file has been attached.)
• Der Bericht enthält einige angehängte Tabellen. (The report contains some attached tables.)

Angehängen (pronounced "ahn-guh-hen") is the verb "to attach" or "to add" something to something else. It is often used in the present tense to describe the act of attaching something.

Example sentences:

• Ich habe den Anhang angehängt. (I attached the appendix.)
• Bitte anhänge die Datei zum E-Mail. (Please attach the file to the email.)

So, to summarize:

• "Angehängt" is the past participle, used to describe something that has been attached or added.
• "Angehängen" is the verb, used to describe the act of attaching or adding something.
