præsenteres

Præsenteres is the present passive form of the Danish verb præsenterere, meaning to present. It translates to is presented or are presented in English and is used when the subject of a clause is being presented by someone else. In Danish, the present passive is indicated by the -es ending on the finite verb, so præsenteres is the form used for both singular and plural subjects in the present.

Grammatical use: præsenteres functions as the present passive. The corresponding active form is præsenterer (he/she presents). The perfect passive exists as er præsenteret or er blevet præsenteret, and the simple past passive as blev præsenteret. The present passive is common in formal writing, statements of fact, and descriptions of ongoing exhibitions or procedures, where the emphasis is on the action being performed rather than who performs it.

Etymology: The Danish verb præsenterere comes from the French présenter, via Latin praesentare, with the semantic core of showing, introducing, or displaying something to an audience.

Usage notes and examples: "Forslagene præsenteres for bestyrelsen i morgen." (The proposals will be presented to the board tomorrow.) "Resultaterne præsenteres i rapporten." (The results are presented in the report.)

Related forms: præsenterer (present active), præsenteret (past participle), præsentation (noun: presentation). The word contains the Danish letter æ and is often used in official or educational contexts.
