Blæsende

Blæsende is a Danish adjective formed from the verb blæse, meaning to blow. It roughly translates to "blowing" or "windy" in English, depending on the context. The primary use is to describe wind or weather conditions characterized by wind, such as in phrases like blæsende vejr or blæsende vind, indicating gusts or strong winds. It can also describe devices or processes that emit a stream of air, for example a blæsende maskine or a ventilation system that moves air.

In written Danish, blæsende is common in descriptive or technical contexts, including meteorological or mechanical writing, and it may appear in literary passages to convey the force or motion of air. In everyday speech, speakers might opt for simpler expressions for wind or air movement, but blæsende remains a standard term in formal or precise descriptions.

Etymology: the form derives from the verb blæse (to blow), linked to related Germanic roots such as the English blow and German blasen. The present-participle/adjective construction yields blæsende.
