Fremsætter

Fremsætter is a Danish verb meaning to present, submit, or put forward, typically referring to proposals, plans, laws, or arguments for consideration. It is a formal term frequently used in politics, law, and public administration. The act implies presenting something to a body or audience for discussion or approval. In legislative and governmental contexts, fremsætte is paired with objects such as et forslag (a proposal), en lov (a law), or en ændring (an amendment).

Grammatical notes: Fremsætte is a regular -e verb with these principal forms: infinitive fremsætte; present fremsætter; past fremsatte; supine fremsat; perfekt participle fremsat, used with have as har fremsat. The passive form is fremsættes, as in et forslag fremsættes af regeringen (a proposal is presented by the government).

Usage and nuance: Fremsætte emphasizes an act of presenting for consideration rather than merely stating. It is common in parliamentary discourse, public debate, and official communications. Synonyms include foreslå (to propose) and lægge frem (to lay forward), though fremsætte carries a stronger formal or procedural connotation.

Examples:

- Regeringen fremsætter et nyt lovforslag. (The government presents a new bill.)

- Parlamentet fremsatte et ændringsforslag i dag. (The parliament submitted an amendment today.)

- Partiet fremsætter sin politik ved konferencen. (The party presents its policy at the conference.)

Fremsættelse is the associated noun describing the act of presenting.
