trænes

Trænes is the present passive form of the Danish verb at træne, meaning to train. It denotes that someone or something is undergoing training, rather than performing the action themselves. In Danish, the passive voice can be formed with the suffix -es, so trænes is used when the focus is on the action of training being received rather than who is doing the training.

In use, trænes appears with various subjects or agents introduced by af (by). For example, "Spilleren trænes af en træner" means "The player is being trained by a coach." The active counterpart is træner, which expresses the subject performing the training in the present tense, as in "Spilleren træner." The related noun form træning refers to the act or process of training.

Contexts in which trænes is common include sports coaching, educational programs, professional development, and rehabilitation where ongoing training is described from the recipient’s perspective. It is a standard form in contemporary Danish and appears in both spoken and written language, including media reports and instructional manuals.

Etymology and cognates: trænes shares a Germanic origin with related Scandinavian languages. A cognate in Swedish is tränas, with a similar meaning of being trained. Such parallels reflect common linguistic roots across Danish and its Nordic neighbors.
