remaining
Used as an adjective to express that something or someone has stayed in a place or state, or exists as a remainder. It is the past participle of the verb 'bleiben' (to stay/remain).
Die übrig gebliebenen Kuchenstücke wurden für den nächsten Tag aufgehoben.
The remaining pieces of cake were saved for the next day.
'Geblieben' (remaining) is the past participle of 'bleiben' (to stay/remain). As an adjective, it almost always comes before a noun to describe it.
Der einzig gebliebene Zeuge konnte sich an nichts erinnern.
The only remaining witness could not remember anything.
The verb 'bleiben' (to stay/remain) forms its past tenses with the auxiliary verb 'sein' (to be). Therefore it is 'ich bin geblieben' (I stayed), not 'ich habe geblieben.' This knowledge helps you understand the origin of the adjective.
Er ist als Einziger bis zum Ende der Party geblieben.
He was the only one who stayed until the end of the party.
'Geblieben' (remaining) is very often used together with 'übrig' as 'übrig geblieben' (left over/remaining). This combination describes leftovers that were not consumed or used.
Die übrig gebliebene Pizza von gestern schmeckt heute noch gut.
The leftover pizza from yesterday still tastes good today.
left over
Übrig directly refers to a remainder that is still present. Geblieben can also express that something continues to exist as a remainder, but in this sense it is usually used in the combination „übrig geblieben“. For a remainder, you therefore use either „übrig“ or „übrig geblieben“.
Nach dem Essen ist noch ein Stück Kuchen übrig geblieben.
There is still a piece of cake left over after the meal.
Nach dem Essen ist noch ein Stück Kuchen übrig.
There is still a piece of cake left over after the meal.
