opdateres

Opdateres is a Danish verb in the present passive form derived from the infinitive opdatere, meaning to update. In English, opdateres is commonly rendered as “is updated” or “is being updated,” depending on the tense and context. The present passive is formed by adding the suffix -es to the verb stem.

Usage and meaning

It is common in IT, data management, and technical writing. Examples: Systemet opdateres løbende for at rette fejl og forbedre funktioner. Filerne opdateres dagligt med nye versioner.
