udlede

Udlede is a Danish verb meaning to deduce, infer, or derive something from data, premises, or reasoning. It is used in science, mathematics, linguistics, and everyday language to describe the act of drawing conclusions from information. The prefix ud- (out) combined with lede (to lead) yields a sense of leading conclusions outward from given material.

In usage, udlede is commonly paired with nouns such as konklusioner (conclusions), resultater (results), or hypoteser (hypotheses). In formal contexts it denotes logical inference or analytical derivation, including drawing inferences from empirical data or theoretical premises.

Semantically, udlede is closely related to aflede, but with a different focus. Udlede emphasizes reasoning and inference from evidence, whereas aflede is more often used for derivation in linguistic or mathematical construction (for example, deriving a word or a formula from a rule).

In Danish literature and academic writing, udlede is standard terminology for explaining how a conclusion is drawn. It is a regular verb, with conjugations following standard Danish patterns for verbs ending in -e.
