tilbagestillede

tilbagestillede is the past tense form of the Danish verb tilbagestille, which means to reverse a transaction or to issue a refund. The verb conveys the action of taking back payment that has already been made, either by the purchaser or the vendor. Its literal translation is “to give back” or “to return”.

In Danish grammar, tilbagestille is a regular verb. The infinitive form is tilbagestille, the simple past is tilbagestillede, and the participle used with a helping verb is tilbagestilt. For example, “Hun tilbagestillede pengene” means “She refunded the money.” The verb can be used transitively with a direct object, the amount or item that is being returned.

The term is commonly applied in commercial and legal contexts. Retailers, banks, and online marketplaces often adopt the phrase when processing a customer’s request for a refund. In legal documents, “tilbagestillede beløb” refers to amounts that have been returned, and the phrase may appear in tariff agreements, consumer contracts, and consumer protection regulations. The concept is closely related to the English “refund” and to the Danish verbs refunderer and reducere, but it specifically denotes the act of reversing a payment rather than merely discounting a price.

Synonyms and related expressions include retur, tilbagebetaling, og tilbagebetaling af franchisekostnad. The verb is also sometimes combined with other adverbs like “samme dag” (same day) to indicate the timeliness of the refund. In practice, the usage of tilbagestillede is straightforward and is understood by all Danish speakers regardless of their profession.
