bemandede

Bemandede is a Danish adjective and past participle meaning “staffed” or “manned.” It is formed from the verb bemande, to staff or to furnish with personnel. The form bemandede is used with plural or feminine nouns; the singular masculine or neuter form is bemandet. The word is commonly employed in official, public-service, and logistical contexts to indicate that personnel are present to operate or assist.

Usage and context

Bemandede describes facilities, services, or operations that have staff on site. Examples include bemandede tog or bemandede grænseovergange, referring to trains or border crossings that are staffed. The term is often found in transport, public administration, security, health care, and customer service communications. It is neutral in tone and contrasts with ubemandet or ubemandede, meaning unmanned.

Etymology and related forms

Bemandede derives from bemande, the verb meaning to man or to staff. In Scandinavian languages, related forms exist with similar meaning: Norwegian bemannet, Swedish bemannad. The Danish compound often appears in formal notices, manuals, or policy texts where staffing levels or the presence of personnel must be specified.

Notes

As a descriptive term, bemandede simply conveys that personnel are available. In everyday language, more informal phrasing might be used, but bemandede remains standard in official or technical writing.
