organizeerden

Organizeerden is a nonstandard spelling of the Dutch past tense form of the verb organiseren. In standard Dutch, the correct past tense plural is organiseerden, used with a plural subject (wij, jullie, zij). The spelling organizeerden is generally regarded as a misspelling or an Anglicism influenced by the English verb organize.

Origin and form

The Dutch verb organiseren comes from the Dutch adaptation of the French verb organiser, meaning to arrange or structure. The standard past tense forms follow regular Dutch conjugation patterns: ik organiseerde, jij organiseerde, hij organiseerde, wij organiseerden, jullie organiseerden, zij organiseerden. The derived form organizeerden does not align with these rules and is not considered standard in written Dutch.

Usage and perception

Organizeerden may appear in informal writing, social media, or typographical errors, especially among writers accustomed to English spelling. In formal or edited Dutch, it is typically corrected to organiseerden. Some Dutch-language keyboards or spell-checkers may flag organizeerden as incorrect and suggest organiseerden instead.
