tilføjede

Tilføjede is the preterite (fortid) form of the Danish verb tilføje, meaning to add or to append. It is used to state that something was added at a previous time. The verb tilføje is a compound formed from til- ("to") and føje ("to add, to place"), with føje tracing back to older Danish and Old Norse roots. The past participle is tilføjet, which is used in perfect constructions such as har tilføjet ("has added").

Conjugation and forms: jeg tilføjede, du tilføjede, han/hun tilføjede, vi tilføjede, I tilføjede, de tilføjede. Infinitive: tilføje. Present: tilføjer. Imperative: tilføj. Past participle: tilføjet. The finite past tense is tilføjede, while tilføjet is used with have in perfect tenses or as an adjective.

Usage: Tilføjede appears in narrative prose and reporting to indicate additions made in the past. It is often found in sentences like "han tilføjede flere detaljer" (he added more details) or "de tilføjede en ny bestemmelse til aftalen" (they added a new provision to the agreement). The form is a finite verb; it is distinct from tilføjet, which functions as the past participle used in perfect constructions (har tilføjet) and as an adjective (tilføjet element).

Examples: "Hun tilføjede et nyt afsnit til rapporten." "Efter gennemgangen tilføjede redaktøren flere detaljer."
