Trekantede

Trekantede is a Danish adjective meaning triangular or three‑sided. It is derived from trekant, the Danish word for triangle, combined with a suffix that forms adjectives. The singular, non‑definite form of the adjective is trekantet, while trekantede is used with plural nouns or in contexts where the noun is plural, as in trekantede figurer (triangular figures).

In usage, trekantede describes objects or shapes that have three sides or a triangular geometry. It appears in mathematics, design, architecture, and everyday language. The adjective can function attributively before a noun, as in en trekantede skitse, or predicatively after a linking verb, as in figurerne er trekantede (the figures are triangular).

Related linguistic forms include trekant (the noun triangle), trekantet (the singular triangular form), and trekanter (the plural noun triangles). The word reflects the common Danish pattern of forming adjectives from nouns to describe shape or quality, with agreement in number and context guiding which form is used.

Trekantede also appears in cross‑lingual contexts where Scandinavian languages share roots for shape descriptions. While primarily a descriptive term, it is a standard term in technical writing, education, and media when precise geometric characterization is required.
