accepteredes

Accepteredes is a Danish finite verb form that functions as the simple past passive of the verb at acceptere (to accept). It conveys that something was accepted by someone else, typically in a formal or written context. The form is commonly found in official texts, meeting minutes, reports, and legal documents where decisions, proposals, or standards have been approved.

The form is built from the verb stem accept- plus the past passive ending -edes. The agent performing the acceptance is usually specified with a by-phrase, for example af bestyrelsen (by the board), but the agent can also be omitted when it is clear from context. In everyday speech, the passive past is often expressed using the periphrastic blev accepteret, though accepteredes appears frequently in formal writing.

Etymology and usage notes: acceptere is a Danish verb descended from the Latin accipere, via French accepter and other linguistic intermediaries. Danish retains this lineage in its modern verb at acceptere and its passive forms, including accepteredes. The use of accepteredes tends to denote a completed act of acceptance in the past and emphasizes the result (the thing was accepted) rather than the agent.

Examples: Forslaget accepteredes af generalforsamlingen. Kravene accepteredes ikke. Det vedtagne dokument blev senere accepteret af myndighederne.
