Korregnede

Korregnede is a verb form that may be found in Danish and related Scandinavian dialects as the past tense or past participle of a verb meaning to correct. In modern standard Danish, the corresponding past tense is korrigerede and the past participle is korrigeret. The spelling korregnede is not part of contemporary standard Danish and is generally viewed as archaic, dialectal, or a misspelling.

The form likely reflects historical variability in Danish orthography before spelling reforms, where phonetic changes and regional conventions produced alternate spellings for the same word. While korregnede may appear in older texts or regional writings, it is not widely attested as a standard form in authoritative Danish dictionaries.

Cross-linguistically, the verb root for “to correct” traces to Latin corrigere, passing into Germanic languages via various routes. In Norwegian Bokmål the corresponding past tense is korrigerte and the past participle is korrigert, while Swedish uses korrigerade. These forms share the same etymological origin as the Danish korrigerede, but differ in spelling according to each language’s standard orthography.

Usage notes: in formal, modern Danish writing, korregnede should be replaced with korrigerede; if encountered, it is most often a marker of regional variation, historical text, or a misspelling. The underlying meaning remains the completion of the action of correcting.
