Usage tips
Context clue
The intended meaning can often be recognized from the words that accompany it: foods, wood, or materials point to physical processing; words such as 'hochwertig' (high-quality) or 'sorgfältig' (carefully) describe the quality of production; a loss or separation relates to processing something emotionally.
EXAMPLE
Die Zutaten sind nur leicht verarbeitet.
The ingredients are only lightly processed.
Die Schuhe sind sorgfältig verarbeitet.
The shoes are carefully made.
Die Trennung ist noch nicht verarbeitet.
She has not yet processed the separation.
Typical collocations
In this meaning, 'verarbeitet' (processed) is frequently used with foods and materials. Typical collocations include 'stark verarbeitete Lebensmittel' (highly processed foods), 'verarbeitetes Holz' (processed wood), and 'verarbeitete Materialien' (processed materials).
EXAMPLE
Verarbeitetes Fleisch wie Wurst oder Schinken sollte man nur in Maßen essen.
Processed meat such as sausage or ham should only be eaten in moderation.
Manufacturing quality
To describe the quality of craftsmanship, 'verarbeitet' (made) is often combined with adverbs such as 'hochwertig' (to a high standard), 'sauber' (neatly), or 'sorgfältig' (carefully). Seams, edges, details, or the entire manufacturing process are often evaluated.
EXAMPLE
Die Ledertasche ist sauber verarbeitet und wirkt sehr stabil.
The leather bag is neatly made and seems very sturdy.
Emotional coping
When referring to distressing experiences, 'verarbeitet' (processed) is often used with 'noch nicht' (not yet), 'nicht vollständig' (not completely), or 'gut' (well). Common subjects include a loss, a separation, an experience, or a serious blow of fate.
