Etymology and form. The term derives from the prefix om- meaning re- or again, combined with the verb stem danne (to form or shape). As a grammatical form, omdanner appears in sentences with a third-person singular subject, for example “Virksomheden omdanner affald til energi” (The company converts waste into energy).

It is commonly found in phrases that describe changes in structure, function, or efficiency. The related noun omdannelse (transformation, conversion) and the verb omdanne are often used to discuss broader concepts of change.
