Fløjet

Fløjet is the Danish past participle of the verb flyve, meaning to fly. It is primarily used to form perfect and pluperfect tenses with auxiliary verbs such as har (have) or havde (had), indicating a completed action. For example, Jeg har fløjet til København means “I have flown to Copenhagen,” and Vi havde fløjet i flere timer før vi landede means “We had flown for several hours before we landed.” The simple past tense of flyve is fløj, as in Jeg fløj til København.

As a participle it is invariable and does not change for gender or number when used in verb constructions. The standard past participle fløjet is typically contrasted with the simple past fløj, which expresses a finished action in the past without auxiliary verbs. In everyday Danish, the perfect tenses that use fløjet are common in both spoken and written language, especially in travel, aviation, and narrative contexts.

Etymology and related forms: the verb flyve belongs to the Danish and broader Germanic family of verbs and is related to the English verb fly. The form fløjet reflects the common Danish pattern of forming past participles with a -et ending for certain weak verbs. The word is not commonly used as an independent adjective; it mainly appears in verb phrases to convey completed flight-related actions.
