Præsenteret

Præsenteret is the past participle of the Danish verb præsentere, meaning to present. It is used both to form passive constructions and as an adjective meaning “presented” or “introduced.” The corresponding finite past tense is præsenterede, as in han præsenterede. In perfect and passive constructions, præsenteret appears in phrases such as har præsenteret (has presented) and er blevet præsenteret (has been presented).

In ordinary prose, præsenteret appears in contexts where something is shown or explained to an audience, such as meetings, reports, or publications. Examples include: “Sagen blev præsenteret for bestyrelsen” (The case was presented to the board) and “Dataene er præsenteret i tabellerne” (The data are presented in the tables). As an attributive adjective, it can modify a noun: “den præsenterede løsning” (the presented solution).

Etymology and orthography: præsenteret comes from the Danish verb præsentere, which is cognate with the French présenter, and ultimately derives from Latin praesentare. The spelling uses the Danish ligature æ, and correct usage should preserve this form rather than a mistaken “presenteret.”

Related forms and terms include præsentation (presentation) and præsentator (presenter). The word præsenteret is common in business, scientific, and journalistic Danish when describing something that has been introduced or shown to an audience or reader.
