Usage tips
Result and process
'Verkauft' (sold) is the past participle of 'verkaufen' (to sell) and can be used as an adjective. With 'sein' (to be), it describes the result of a sale; with 'werden', the passive construction describes the sale as a process.
EXAMPLE
Das Haus ist schon verkauft.
The house is already sold.
Das Haus wird nächste Woche verkauft.
The house will be sold next week.
Specifying the buyer
You can use 'an' (to) with the accusative to specify who bought something. This pattern is also possible when 'verkauft' (sold) is used with 'sein' (to be).
EXAMPLE
Der alte Schreibtisch ist bereits an einen Nachbarn verkauft.
The old desk is already sold to a neighbor.
Labeling listings
The expressions 'als verkauft markieren' (to mark as sold) and 'als verkauft kennzeichnen' (to label as sold) are common in sales listings. They indicate the sale status of an item being offered.
EXAMPLE
Bitte markieren Sie den Tisch in Ihrer Anzeige als verkauft.
Please mark the table as sold in your listing.
