endret

Endret is a Norwegian term that functions as the past participle of the verb endre, meaning to change or alter. In contemporary usage, endret can describe something that has been modified and can also serve as an attributive adjective, describing a modified thing, such as a document or plan.

Etymology and cognates: Endret originates from the Norwegian verb endre and shares cognates with other Scandinavian languages. In Danish the corresponding form is ændret, while Swedish commonly uses ändrat. These forms reflect a common Germanic heritage for the past participle of the verb that means to change.

Usage and grammar: Endret appears in various grammatical contexts. As part of verb phrases, it forms, among others, the perfect or pluperfect tenses with auxiliary verbs, for example, har endret or har blitt endret. It can also function as a predicative or attributive adjective: et endret dokument, en endret plan, or planen er endret. In passive constructions, endret is linked with a form of bli or ha blitt, depending on tense and voice, to indicate that something has undergone modification.
