Frastødte

Frastødte is a Danish verb form, specifically the simple past tense of the verb frastøde, which means to repel, push away, or deter. The form is used when the subject performed the action in the past, for example: Han frastødte fjenden (He repelled the enemy).

In addition to its literal sense of physical repulsion, frastøde is also used metaphorically to describe social processes such as rejection or ostracism. The related past participle frastødt is used in perfect and passive constructions, for instance: Fjenden blev frastødt (The enemy was repelled) or De blev frastødt fra fællesskabet (They were ostracized/repelled from the community).

Grammatical notes:

- Frastøde is a strong Danish verb; its past tense form is frastødte.

- The past participle is frastødt, used with have/being in perfect or passive constructions.

- Frastødte appears primarily as a past tense verb form rather than as a standalone adjective; when describing someone who has been ostracized, frastødt is the common participial form.

- In technical language, frastøde and frastødt can appear in discussions of forces that cause repulsion, such as in physics, as well as in metaphorical discussions of social dynamics.
