vedtaget

Vedtaget is the Danish past participle of the verb vedtage, meaning to adopt, approve, or pass a decision—such as a law, proposal, or budget—by a formal deliberative body. It functions as an adjective or predicate and is used to indicate that a proposal has completed the formal approval process. Common construction: "Forslaget blev vedtaget" (The proposal was adopted).

In official contexts, vedtaget appears in minutes, resolutions, and legal texts to signify that a measure has been approved and enters into effect. It is often paired with the body that adopted it, for example "vedtaget af Folketinget" or "vedtaget af kommunalbestyrelsen." The noun form "vedtagelse" denotes the act of adopting; "det er vedtaget" states the outcome.

Cross-language note: In Norwegian, the corresponding form is vedtatt; in Swedish, a related sense is conveyed by antagen. Danish maintains the distinct spelling vedtaget. The term is common in journalism, public administration, and legal drafting to describe decisions that have been formally accepted and implemented.
