udøves

Udøves is the present passive form of the Danish verb udøve, which means to exercise, to practice, to perform, or to carry out an activity, action, or duty. The verb is used to indicate that someone or something exercises a power, right, skill, or function, rather than actively performing it themselves in the active voice.

Etymology and usage: udøve combines the prefix ud- (out, outward) with øve, a verb meaning to practice or rehearse. The word is common in formal, administrative, legal, and organizational language when describing how powers, rights, duties, or processes are applied or implemented by authorities, institutions, or individuals.

Grammar: The base form is udøve (infinitive). The present active third-person singular is udøver; the past tense is udøvde (or udøvde in some spellings). The past participle is udøvd. The present passive is udøves, used to describe actions performed by an agent in a passive voice: e.g., Rettighederne udøves af myndighederne.

Examples:

- Rettighederne udøves gennem lovgivningen.

- Forskningen udøves af et internationalt panel.
