designede

Designede is a Danish verb form meaning designed. It is the simple past tense of designe, the verb used to express the act of designing or planning the creation of a product, system, or work of art. In Danish, designe belongs to regular weak verbs and forms the past tense with the suffix -ede, producing designede for all subjects (jeg designede, du designede, han/hun designede, vi designede, I designede, de designede). The corresponding present and perfect forms are designe and har designet, respectively.

Usage of designede appears in narratives and descriptions that refer to completed actions in the past. In contemporary Danish, many speakers also use the present perfect har designet to convey past actions with present relevance, but designede remains correct for straightforward past time reference. For example: "Kunstneren designede en ny lampe" and "Firman designede en ny logotype" illustrate its typical usage in discussing past design work.

Etymology and relation to other forms: The verb designe is a loanword in Danish, tracing back to Latin designare, through French or English influence, and it has been adapted to Danish verb conjugation patterns. It has cognates in other Germanic languages, though their past tense forms differ.

Designede is distinct from the noun design and from the past participle designet, which can function as an adjective or part of compound tenses (for example, har designet or det designede projekt). See also Danish language, Danish grammar, designe, and design.
