Danish grammar

Participles as adjectives

Participles are verb forms that can describe nouns like adjectives do. Danish has two types: present participles ending in -ende (exciting, working) and past participles (closed, written). When they describe nouns, they follow the same agreement rules as regular adjectives.
Present participles: add -ende, never changes
Take any verb, add -ende, and you get an adjective that never changes form:
spænde → spændende excite → exciting
fungere → fungerende function → functioning
interessere → interesserende interest → interesting
