fertigstellen
to finish, to complete
- Past (Präteritum)
- fertigstellte
- Past participle
- fertiggestellt (haben)
This is a separable verb. It is composed of the adjective 'fertig' and the verb 'stellen'. Because 'stellen' is a transitive verb that does not indicate a change of location or state here, it uses 'haben'. It is frequently used in professional or project-based contexts to mean completing a task or an object by a deadline. It follows the weak conjugation pattern entirely, including the past participle form which includes the 'ge-' prefix between the prefix and the stem (fertig-ge-stellt). Examples of usage: 'Ich stelle das Projekt heute fertig' (I am finishing the project today). Note that the prefix 'fertig-' is detached in main clauses as in 'Er stellt die Reparatur fertig'. When using it in the perfect tense, it remains 'fertiggestellt'. Common synonyms include 'beenden' or 'abschließen'. It does not have common compounds itself as it is already a compound; however, it belongs to the 'stellen' family, which includes variations like 'bestellen' or 'vorstellen'. It is a high-utility verb for learners aiming to describe productivity and task management.
