brought forward
Describes something that has been moved to an earlier time than originally planned.
Aufgrund des guten Wetters findet das Fest am vorgezogenen Termin statt.
Because of the good weather, the festival is taking place on the brought-forward date.
'Vorgezogen' (brought forward) is the past participle of the separable verb 'vorziehen' (to bring forward / to prefer). In this context, 'vorziehen' means to move an appointment or event to an earlier time.
Wir ziehen unseren Urlaub um eine Woche vor.
We're bringing our vacation forward by one week.
The adjective is almost always used in connection with appointments, dates, or events. Common combinations are: 'ein vorgezogener Termin' (a brought-forward date/appointment), 'eine vorgezogene Prüfung' (a brought-forward exam), 'die vorgezogene Abreise' (the brought-forward departure), or 'vorgezogene Wahlen' (early elections).
Wegen des Streiks musste ich einen vorgezogenen Flug buchen.
Because of the strike, I had to book an earlier flight.
'Vorgezogen' (brought forward) stands as an adjective directly before the noun and is declined accordingly. It describes that the noun takes place earlier than planned.
Die vorgezogene Weihnachtsfeier findet schon im November statt.
The brought-forward Christmas party is taking place in November already.
early / premature
Vorzeitig means that something happens earlier than planned, expected, or usual. Vorgezogen additionally shows that the date was deliberately moved to an earlier time. For a planned change of date, vorgezogen is therefore more precise; vorzeitig mainly indicates the deviation in timing.
Lea hatte ihre Abreise wegen des angekündigten Streiks auf Dienstag vorgezogen.
Lea had moved her departure forward to Tuesday because of the announced strike.
Lea reiste wegen ihrer Erkrankung vorzeitig am Dienstag statt am Freitag ab.
Lea left early on Tuesday instead of Friday because of her illness.
