specificerede

Specificerede is a Danish finite verb form that corresponds to the simple past tense of the verb specificere, meaning to specify or to state something explicitly. It denotes an action completed in the past and is used in narrative and formal prose to indicate that requirements, details, or conditions were clarified at a past time.

Etymology and form: The verb specificere is of Danish origin but built on the English verb specify. The past tense form specificerede follows the typical Danish pattern for regular verbs ending in -ere in their infinitive, with the past tense ending -ede. The related forms include infinitive: specificere; present: specificerer; past participle: specificeret; and perfect constructed forms such as har specificeret.

Usage: Specificerede is common in technical, legal, and business writing, where precise requirements or instructions are described as having been clarified previously. It often appears in reports, contracts, meeting minutes, and specifications. For example: "Virksomheden specificerede kravene i kontrakten," meaning the company specified the requirements in the contract. Another example: "Vi specificerede datoen og tidsrammen i mødet i går." In many contexts, the word helps distinguish a completed act of detailing from ongoing or future specification.

Relation to other forms: The infinitive is specificere; the present tense is specificerer; the past participle is specificeret. In compound tenses, Danish uses har specificeret to express the present perfect, for example, "Vi har specificeret kravene." The form specificerede cannot be used to express ongoing actions; it refers to a completed past event.
