omregnede

Omregnede is a Danish adjective formed from the verb omregne, meaning to convert or recalculate. It describes figures, measurements or values that have undergone a conversion to another unit, currency, price level, or scale. In practice, omregnede values are numbers that have been adjusted to enable comparison or standardization across systems or time periods.

The term is commonly used in scientific, technical, financial and statistical texts. Typical collocations include omregnede enheder (converted units), omregnede værdier (converted values) og omregnede beløb (converted amounts). It is often found in tables and charts to indicate that the figures have been transformed rather than representing the original data. For example, temperaturer can be omregnede from Celsius to Fahrenheit, or prices can be omregnede to a common currency such as euro.

Etymology and nuance: omregne combines the prefix om- (indicating reversal or change) with regne (to calculate or count). The past participle omregnede functions as an attributive or predicative descriptor, signaling that a prior conversion has taken place. While closely related terms exist—omregning (conversion), konvertering (conversion), and omregning af enheder—the core idea remains the same: adjusting values for comparability or applicability in a given context.
