Forstørrede

Forstørrede is a Danish and Norwegian Bokmål adjective form meaning enlarged or magnified. It is the past participle of the verb forstørre, which means to enlarge or make bigger. As an adjective, forstørrede describes nouns that have been increased in size or appearance.

In Danish and Norwegian, past participles used as adjectives agree with the noun they modify. The plural form is typically forstørrede (for plural nouns such as øjne, billeder, knuder). The singular forms are forstørret (common for masculine singular) and forstørrede can also appear when the feminine plural or mixed gender plural requires it, depending on the language variant and noun.

Common contexts include everyday description, photography, and medicine. Examples: forstørrede billeder = enlarged magnified images; forstørrede øjne = enlarged eyes. In medical language, phrases like forstørrede lymfeknuder refer to enlarged lymph nodes, used descriptively rather than as a diagnosis by itself.

Etymology and related forms: forstørrede derives from forstørre, with the typical Germanic past-participle suffix -ede/-ret used as an adjective. Related forms include forstørret (singular, masculine) and forstørrelse (enlargement) which broaden the noun’s meaning.

See also: forstørret, forstørrelse. Note that forstørrede is a descriptive linguistic form rather than a standalone concept, and its exact grammatical ending can vary with gender and number in Danish and Norwegian usage.
