udskydes

Udskydes is the passive present form of the Danish verb udskyde, meaning to postpone or delay something to a later time. It is commonly used for plans, deadlines, meetings, releases, or decisions that are moved forward.

Etymology: The word combines the prefix ud- (meaning outward or away) with skyde (to push or thrust), conveying the sense of pushing a matter to a later date. The noun udskydelse denotes the postponement itself, and the adjective udskudt describes something that has been postponed.

Usage: In Danish, udskydes is used in the passive voice, for example, "Mødet udskydes til næste uge" (The meeting is postponed to next week). The active form udskyder means “to postpone (something) by someone.” The past passive form is typically "blev udskudt," as in "Mødet blev udskudt."

Nuance and relations: Udskyde generally emphasizes the act of moving a matter to a later date, whereas other verbs such as udsætte have broader or different nuances, including exposure or postponement with different contexts. The related noun udskydelse refers to the postponement as a concept or event.
