Usage tips
Word structure
'Ausgewiesen' (recognized/designated/stated/expelled) is the past participle of the separable verb 'ausweisen' (to identify; to designate; to expel). It is used like an adjective and usually stands directly before a noun.
EXAMPLE
Das ist ein ausgewiesenes Naturschutzgebiet.
This is a designated nature reserve.
Context clue
You can recognize the meaning from the noun: If 'ausgewiesen' refers to a person, they are either an expert or have been expelled from the country. If it refers to a place, it is designated. If it refers to numbers, they are officially stated.
EXAMPLE
Er ist ein ausgewiesener Experte für Wein.
He is a recognized expert on wine.
Typical collocations
In the meaning 'expert', 'ausgewiesen' (recognized) is almost always combined with nouns that describe a person with special knowledge. Typical phrases are 'ausgewiesener Experte' (recognized expert), 'ausgewiesener Fachmann' (recognized specialist), or 'ausgewiesener Kenner' (recognized connoisseur/expert).
EXAMPLE
Für die Reparatur brauchen wir einen ausgewiesenen Fachmann.
For the repair, we need a recognized specialist.
Typical collocations
When something is officially marked, 'ausgewiesen' (designated) is often used for zones and areas. Common combinations are 'ausgewiesene Parkplätze' (designated parking spaces), 'ausgewiesene Raucherbereiche' (designated smoking areas), or 'ausgewiesene Hundezonen' (designated dog zones).
EXAMPLE
Rauchen ist nur in den ausgewiesenen Bereichen gestattet.

EXAMPLE

Compare with
ausgewiesen vs bestimmt
certain / specific
'bestimmt' and 'ausgewiesen' can both mean that something is intended for a specific purpose. 'bestimmt für' (intended for) is more general: something is meant for a person, a group, or a purpose. 'ausgewiesen' sounds more official and usually means that something is clearly marked or officially designated, for example by a sign, a plan, or a document. The words can be confused because both express a purpose. When it is about an official designation or marking, 'ausgewiesen' is more precise.
ausgewiesen
Der Bereich vor dem Gebäude ist als Parkplatz für Besucher ausgewiesen.
The area in front of the building is designated as visitor parking.
bestimmt
Diese Plätze sind für ältere Fahrgäste bestimmt.
These seats are intended for older passengers.
