ändringen

Ændringen is a Danish noun meaning "the change" or "the alteration." It denotes a process of transformation, modification, or transition, and is formed from the verb ændre, meaning "to change," with the suffix -ing and the definite article -en. The standard lowercase form is ændringen; when used as a title or in other proper-noun contexts, it is written as Ændringen.

In usage, ændringen can refer to changes in objects, plans, systems, or situations, as well as to reforms or amendments in legal, political, or social contexts. In everyday language, it may describe a minor modification or a more substantial shift. In cultural contexts, Ændringen is sometimes used as a title or thematic motif in Danish literature, film, or art to signal a turning point or transformation in a narrative or society.

Because Ændringen is a generic term, its specific referent depends on context and is not tied to a single fixed work or concept. When encountered, the meaning is typically clarified by surrounding text or by noting whether it appears as a common noun or a title.
