accepterer

Accepterer is the present tense form of the Danish verb acceptere, meaning to accept. The form is used for all subjects in the present tense (jeg accepterer, du accepterer, han/hun accepterer, vi accepterer, I accepterer, de accepterer). The infinitive is acceptere; the past tense is accepterede; the past participle is accepteret; the present participle is accepterende. It is a transitive verb, typically taking a direct object and expressing agreement, assent, or approval of something such as an invitation, a proposal, terms, conditions, or an offer.

Etymology: The Danish verb is derived from the French accepter, itself from Latin acceptare, which in turn comes from accipere meaning “to take” or “to receive.” The Danish spelling preserves the French-influenced form with a c and the characteristic Danish verb endings.

Usage notes: Accepterer is common in both formal and informal Danish. It can indicate consent to obligations (acceptere vilkår), acceptance of an invitation (accepterer invitationen), or approval of an offer (accepterer tilbudet). Like many verbs of agreement, it is typically used with a direct object denoting what is being accepted.

Norwegian comparison: In Norwegian, the cognate is usually spelled akseptere, with present tense aksepterer; Danish and Norwegian share the same semantic range, but spellings and some inflection patterns differ.

Examples: Jeg accepterer invitationen. Han accepterer vilkårene. Vi accepterer tilbudet.
