foregået

foregået is a Danish word that translates to "preceded" or "occurred" in English. It is the past participle of the verb foregå. The verb foregå itself means to happen, to take place, to occur, or to precede. Therefore, "foregået" indicates that an action or event has already happened or has taken place before another point in time or another event.

This past participle is commonly used in Danish sentences to describe past events. For instance, one might say "Det er foregået tidligere" which translates to "It has happened earlier." The word can also be used in a more passive sense, referring to something that has taken place. For example, "Den aftale, der blev foregået, var bindende" means "The agreement that was made was binding." The context in which "foregået" appears will determine the most accurate English translation. It is a fundamental verb form used for recounting past occurrences in the Danish language.
