Mødet

Mødet is the definite singular form of the Danish noun møde, meaning a meeting or encounter. The corresponding indefinite form is møde, the plural indefinite is møder, and the definite plural is møderne. In Danish, the definite article is formed as a suffix on the noun, so mødet literally translates to "the meeting" rather than "meeting the" plus a separate article.

Mødet can refer to any kind of gathering, from informal get-togethers to formal business meetings. The exact meaning depends on context, but it usually denotes a planned or scheduled event rather than a casual encounter. Common compounds include forretningsmøde (business meeting), teammøde (team meeting), and mødetid (meeting time).

Mødet is used in neutral, descriptive contexts. It can describe a particular meeting that has been previously mentioned or is under discussion, for example: Mødet begyndte klokken ni. (The meeting began at nine.)

Related forms include the verb møde, meaning to meet (transitive), and the reflexive mødes, meaning to meet each other or to get together. The noun and verb share the same linguistic root in Danish and appear in related expressions such as møderunden (the meeting round) or mødested (meeting place).
