tilbydes

Tilbydes is the present passive form of tilbyde (to offer). It is used to say that something is made available or offered to people, without specifying who offers it.

Etymology: The verb tilbyde comes from til- plus byde (to bid, offer). The present passive tilbydes reflects that origin and is widely used across Danish in formal and informal contexts.

Usage: Tilbydes is common in public notices, advertisements, education, institutions, and service contexts. Examples include: Kurset tilbydes af universitetet (The course is offered by the university); Der tilbydes gratis parkering (Free parking is offered); Ejendommen tilbydes til salg (The property is offered for sale).

Grammar notes: Tilbydes is a passive form and is often used in impersonal constructions. The agent offering can be omitted or expressed with af, as in Kurset tilbydes af universitetet (The course is offered by the university) or Tilbydes af kommunen (Offered by the municipality).
