angiven

Angiven is a form of the Danish verb angive, meaning to indicate, state, or specify. As an adjective, angiven is used to describe something that has been indicated or specified in a preceding reference, such as information, data, or values.

In contemporary Danish, the more common modern participle form is angivet. Angiven appears primarily in older texts and in certain formal or legal contexts, where it can still be encountered in fixed phrases. The distinction between angivet and angiven tends to reflect standard Danish spelling conventions and the grammatical number or definiteness of the noun it modifies (for example, the angivne oplysninger or the angivet tidspunkt).

Usage examples include phrases like the indicated data or the specified amount, which point to information that has been provided or declared by an authoritative source. The term is often found in official forms, contracts, technical documentation, and administrative language, where accuracy and explicit attribution are important.

Etymology and related forms: angiven derives from the verb angive. Related nouns and derivatives in Danish include angivelse (the act of indicating or the indication) and related adjective forms such as angivet or angivne, which align with gender and number in standard Danish grammar.

See also: angivelse, angivet, angivne. Notes: while angiven is recognizable, readers are more likely to encounter angivet in modern Danish texts; angiven may appear in historical documents or specialized registers.
