bemærkelsesværdigt

Bemærkelsesværdigt is a Danish adjective and adverb meaning remarkable or noteworthy. It describes something that stands out because of its significance, quality, or unusual features. The term is common in formal or written Danish, including journalism, academia, and official reports, and it can also introduce notable observations in everyday speech when a neutral or positive tone is intended.

Originating from bemærke (to notice) and værdig (worthy), bemærkelsesværdig literally conveys that something is "worthy of notice." The base form is bemærkelsesværdig; in neuter contexts it appears as bemærkelsesværdigt, while plural forms are bemærkelsesværdige. The adverbial use is bemærkelsesværdigt, as in "Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at...".

Examples help illustrate its use. "Denne opdagelse er bemærkelsesværdig." "Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at antallet er vokset." "Det var en bemærkelsesværdig præstation." The phrase can describe objects, results, events, or persons when a high or notable quality is implied, though it remains relatively formal and reserved in tone.

Synonyms include markant, bemærkelsesværdig, notable, and betydningsfuld in some contexts. The choice of bemærkelsesværdigt tends to emphasize noteworthiness or significance rather than mere ordinary quality. It is widely understood across Danish-speaking communities and is used in many contexts as a standard literary term.
