Usage tips
Typical sentence position
'Beruhigt' (calm/reassured) often appears predicatively after verbs such as 'sein' (to be), 'wirken' (to seem), or 'sich fühlen' (to feel). It then describes a person's state without appearing directly before a noun.
EXAMPLE
Nach dem Anruf fühlte sie sich beruhigt und konnte wieder schlafen.
After the phone call, she felt reassured and was able to sleep again.
Context clues
With this meaning, words such as 'wieder' (again), 'endlich' (finally), or 'nach dem Gespräch' (after the conversation) show that there was agitation, excitement, or fear before, and that it has subsided afterward.
EXAMPLE
Als der Sturm vorbei war, waren die Kinder wieder beruhigt.
When the storm was over, the children were calm again.
Explanation as a reason
With this meaning, 'beruhigt sein' (to be reassured) is often followed by a subordinate clause with 'dass' (that) or 'weil' (because). This subordinate clause names the information or reassurance that removes the worry.
EXAMPLE
Sie war beruhigt, weil der Arzt ihr die Untersuchungsergebnisse erklärt hatte.
She was reassured because the doctor had explained the examination results to her.
