Usage tips
Word structure
'Vorgesehen' is the past participle of the separable verb 'vorsehen' (to plan / to provide for). The verb means to plan something or designate it for a purpose, which directly explains the meaning of the adjective.
EXAMPLE
Der ursprüngliche Plan sah eine frühere Fertigstellung vor.
The original plan provided for an earlier completion.
Register
This word is often used in formal, official, or administrative contexts. It often sounds like planning, rules, or regulations.
EXAMPLE
Laut Protokoll ist für diesen Punkt eine Diskussion vorgesehen.
According to the protocol, a discussion is planned for this item.
Usage pattern
In the meaning of 'geplant' (planned), 'vorgesehen' often appears with the preposition 'für' (for) to indicate a time or purpose. It is almost always combined with the verb 'sein' (to be).
EXAMPLE
Die Besprechung ist für nächsten Montag vorgesehen.
The meeting is planned for next Monday.
Fixed preposition
When something is intended for a specific person or group, the construction 'für jemanden/etwas vorgesehen sein' (to be intended for someone/something) is always used. The preposition 'für' is followed by the accusative.
EXAMPLE
Der vordere Bereich ist für Gäste mit besonderen Bedürfnissen vorgesehen.
The front area is intended for guests with special needs.
Compare with
vorgesehen vs bestimmt
certain / specific
'bestimmt für' and 'vorgesehen' can both say that something has a purpose, a person, or a group in mind. 'bestimmt für' puts stronger emphasis on what or whom something is intended for. 'vorgesehen' often sounds like a plan, rule, or organizational arrangement. It can also mean that something is planned for a specific time. In many situations, both are possible, but 'vorgesehen' fits especially well with programs, appointments, rooms, or official plans.
vorgesehen
Im Kurs ist heute eine kurze Pause nach der ersten Stunde vorgesehen.

bestimmt
