undamaged
Without damage, unharmed, or intact. Describes a state in which something has not suffered any damage.
Das Auto hat den Unfall wie durch ein Wunder fast unbeschädigt überstanden.
The car survived the accident almost undamaged, as if by a miracle.
The word consists of the prefix 'un-' (not) and the participle 'beschädigt' (damaged). The verb 'beschädigen' (to damage) comes from the noun 'der Schaden' (damage). 'Unbeschädigt' (undamaged) therefore literally means 'without damage'.
Trotz des Sturms blieb das Haus unbeschädigt.
Despite the storm, the house remained undamaged.
A very typical construction is 'unbeschädigt bleiben' (to remain undamaged). It expresses that something has stayed intact despite a danger or an accident.
Die Glasfigur ist beim Transport unbeschädigt geblieben.
The glass figurine remained undamaged during transport.
'Unbeschädigt' (undamaged) is often used in connection with transport, shipping, or accidents. It describes the condition of goods, packages, vehicles, or buildings.
Das Paket ist unbeschädigt bei mir angekommen.
The package arrived at my place undamaged.
broken / exhausted
'kaputt' and 'unbeschädigt' both describe the condition of things. Here they are opposites: 'kaputt' means that something no longer works properly or has damage. 'unbeschädigt' means that something has no damage and has remained intact. They can be confused because both are often used for devices, furniture, or packages. The important point is: 'kaputt' is more everyday language and can also mean that something no longer works. 'unbeschädigt' sounds more precise and somewhat more formal, especially when checking whether something is intact after transport or an accident.
Das Paket kam unbeschädigt bei uns an.
