given
Describes something that exists as a fact or serves as a starting point for a consideration or action; a specific, concrete situation or condition.
Unter den gegebenen Umständen können wir das Projekt nicht fortsetzen.
Under the given circumstances, we cannot continue the project.
`gegeben` (given) is the past participle of the verb `geben` (to give). Used as an adjective, it means something like 'existing' or 'established'.
Wir müssen mit den gegebenen Fakten arbeiten.
We have to work with the given facts.
The word `gegeben` (given) is often part of fixed expressions. Very common ones are 'unter den gegebenen Umständen' (under the given circumstances) and 'zu gegebener Zeit' (in due course / at the appropriate time).
Unter den gegebenen Umständen ist das die beste Lösung.
Under the given circumstances, this is the best solution.
As an adjective, `gegeben` (given) almost always comes directly before a noun. For example, you can use it to describe 'die gegebene Situation' (the given situation) or 'die gegebenen Möglichkeiten' (the given possibilities).
Innerhalb des gegebenen Zeitrahmens ist die Aufgabe nicht zu schaffen.
Within the given time frame, the task cannot be completed.
available / present
When talking about conditions or prerequisites, both words can express that they exist. “Vorhanden” emphasizes that something exists or is available, while “gegeben” marks the specific condition as the starting point for a consideration or action. Use “vorhanden” for available resources and “gegeben” for a fixed prerequisite.
Für die Aufgabe sind Länge und Breite gegeben.
The length and width are given for the task.
Für die Aufgabe sind die nötigen Werte bereits vorhanden.
The necessary values are already available for the task.
