oprettet

Oprettet is a Danish term formed as the past participle of the verb oprette, meaning created or established. It is used as both a participial adjective and part of verb phrases in compound tenses. In Danish, oprettet commonly appears in administrative, IT, and bureaucratic contexts to indicate that something has been created, set up, or registered. Examples include "Kontoen er oprettet" (The account has been created) and "Dokumentet blev oprettet i går" (The document was created yesterday).

Grammatical notes: Oprettet is the past participle of oprette. The infinitive is oprette. It is used with auxiliary verbs such as er or blev to form the present perfect or the passive simple past: "den er oprettet" or "den blev oprettet." As an adjective, oprettet can describe items or entities that have already been created, e.g., "oprettede konti" (created accounts).

Origin and cognates: The word comes from Danish oprette, with the prefix op- indicating up or up to a state, and rettet/rette related to arranging or setting. Cognates appear in other Scandinavian languages with similar meanings, reflecting a shared Germanic heritage.

Usage and connotation: Oprettet is neutral, not indicating who created it, only that creation has occurred. In records and databases a field labeled oprettet or oprettelsesdato is used to record the creation time. Common derivatives include oprettelse (establishment), oprettelsesdato (creation date).
