Usage tips

'Unbeobachtet' (unobserved) consists of 'un-' and 'beobachtet' (observed), the past participle of 'beobachten' (to observe). The prefix 'un-' negates the fact that someone or something is being observed.
EXAMPLE
Durch den Hinterausgang konnte sie unbeobachtet das Haus verlassen.
She was able to leave the house unobserved through the back entrance.
To feel unobserved
A typical expression is 'sich unbeobachtet fühlen' (to feel unobserved). It describes a person's perception; whether anyone is actually watching remains open.
