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' and 'vorgezogen' can both mean that something takes place earlier than first expected. 'vorzeitig' generally describes something happening earlier than planned or usual, for example an ending or a return. 'vorgezogen' says more specifically that someone has deliberately moved an appointment or event to an earlier time. Learners may confuse the words because the result is similar. The difference is: with 'vorgezogen', there was usually an active change to the plan; with 'vorzeitig', the focus is simply on the earlier occurrence.
Der vorgezogene Termin findet schon am Montag statt.
The brought-forward appointment is taking place on Monday already.
Sie verlässt die Werkstatt vorzeitig, weil sie noch einen Termin hat.
She leaves the workshop early because she still has an appointment.
