bestå 30 सेकंड में
- Passes exams, tests, or courses.
- Continues to exist or remain valid.
- Implies success and endurance.
- Primary Meaning: Success in Evaluation
- The most common use of 'bestå' is in the context of examinations, tests, or courses. When a student successfully completes these, they have 'bestået' them. This applies to everything from a driving test and a school exam to a language proficiency test. It signifies a positive outcome, a validation of knowledge or skill.
- Secondary Meaning: Existence and Validity
- Beyond academic or evaluative contexts, 'bestå' also means to continue to exist, to endure, or to remain valid. This can refer to physical objects that have lasted for a long time, abstract concepts that persist, or legal statutes that are still in effect. For example, an old law might 'bestå' (continue to exist) until it is repealed. An agreement might 'bestå' (remain valid) for a certain period.
- Nuances and Context
- The specific meaning is usually clear from the surrounding words. If you hear about 'bestå en eksamen', it's about passing. If you hear about a 'aftale, der skal bestå', it's about the agreement remaining valid. The verb carries a sense of achievement and persistence, making it a strong and positive word in Danish.
Hun håber at bestå sin køreprøve næste uge.
Den gamle lov skal stadig bestå.
- Passing Exams and Tests
- This is the most frequent usage. You use 'bestå' when referring to successfully completing an examination, a test, a course, or any form of evaluation. The structure is typically 'at bestå' + [the thing being passed].
- Continuing to Exist and Remain Valid
- In this sense, 'bestå' implies endurance, persistence, or the continuation of validity. It can apply to laws, agreements, traditions, or even abstract principles that remain in effect or continue to be relevant over time.
- Examples in Different Tenses and Structures
- Remember to conjugate the verb according to the tense. The past participle 'bestået' is very common when talking about completed exams. The infinitive 'at bestå' is used after modal verbs or in constructions like 'ønsker at bestå'.
Eleverne arbejder hårdt for at bestå deres afsluttende eksamen.
Denne tradition har bestået gennem generationer.
Aftalen skal bestå i fem år.
- Educational Institutions
- This is where you'll hear 'bestå' most frequently. Teachers, students, and administrators discuss passing grades, exams, and courses. Phrases like 'at bestå en prøve', 'har du bestået?', and 'beståelsesprocent' (pass rate) are common.
- Legal and Governmental Contexts
- In discussions about laws, regulations, or agreements, 'bestå' is used to signify that something remains in effect or valid. You might hear it in news reports or debates about legislation that needs to 'bestå' or an old contract that continues to 'bestå'.
- Everyday Conversations
- People talk about their driving tests, job interviews, or other assessments. 'Jeg håber, jeg kan bestå' (I hope I can pass) is a common sentiment. Also, when discussing things that have lasted a long time, like traditions or old buildings, 'bestå' can be used to express their enduring nature.
Universitetet annoncerede, at alle studerende skulle bestå tre obligatoriske kurser for at dimittere.
Forskere undersøger, hvordan gamle ritualer kan bestå i moderne samfund.
- Confusing with 'bestå' (to consist of)
- While 'bestå' can mean 'to consist of' in some older or very specific contexts, its primary modern meanings are 'to pass' and 'to endure'. If you intend to say something consists of parts, you'd typically use 'bestå af' or other verbs like 'indeholde' (contain) or 'bestå af' in a slightly different grammatical construction. For example, 'Kagen består af mel og sukker' (The cake consists of flour and sugar) is correct, but using 'bestå' alone for 'consist of' is rare and can be confusing.
- Incorrect Past Participle
- The past participle of 'bestå' is 'bestået'. A common mistake for learners is to use the infinitive form 'bestå' or an incorrect form where 'bestået' is needed, especially in perfect tenses. For example, saying 'Jeg har bestå' instead of 'Jeg har bestået' is incorrect.
- Overusing 'bestå' for Existence
- While 'bestå' can mean to continue to exist, it's not always the most natural verb for simple existence. For ongoing existence, verbs like 'eksistere' (to exist), 'leve' (to live), or 'findes' (to be found) might be more appropriate depending on the context. 'Bestå' often implies a more active endurance or a continued validity rather than just being present.
Fejl: Jeg vil bestå eksamen i morgen. Rigtigt: Jeg vil bestå eksamen i morgen.
Fejl: Hun har bestå sin køreprøve. Rigtigt: Hun har bestået sin køreprøve.
- Opnå (to achieve, to obtain)
- 'Opnå' is often used when you achieve a goal or obtain something. While you can 'opnå' a good grade, 'bestå' is more specific to passing an exam. 'Jeg opnåede en høj karakter' (I achieved a high grade) vs. 'Jeg bestod eksamen' (I passed the exam).
- Klar(e) (to manage, to cope, to get through)
- 'Klar(e)' can sometimes be used informally to mean getting through a difficult situation or task, including an exam. However, 'bestå' is more formal and directly means to pass. 'Jeg klarede eksamen' is more casual than 'Jeg bestod eksamen'.
- Eksistere (to exist)
- For the meaning of 'to exist', 'eksistere' is a direct synonym. 'Bestå' often implies a sense of enduring or continuing to be valid, whereas 'eksistere' simply means to be present. 'Den gamle kirke eksisterer stadig' (The old church still exists) vs. 'Den gamle lov skal bestå' (The old law shall continue to be valid).
- Være gyldig (to be valid)
- When referring to the validity of laws, contracts, or documents, 'være gyldig' is a common alternative to 'bestå'. 'Kontrakten er gyldig i tre år' (The contract is valid for three years) is very similar to 'Kontrakten skal bestå i tre år' (The contract shall remain valid for three years).
Han ønskede at opnå en topkarakter, ikke bare at bestå.
Denne tradition har eksisteret i århundreder, men den skal også bestå som en levende praksis.

The Danish 'å' sound in 'bestå' is crucial for correct pronunciation. It's a rounded vowel, similar to the 'o' in 'more' or 'caught'. Practice saying it distinctly, ensuring your lips are rounded. Avoid pronouncing it like the 'a' in 'cat' or 'aw' in 'law'.

Distinguish 'Bestå' from 'Bestå af'

Formal vs. Informal
'Bestå' is generally a neutral to formal verb. For passing exams, it's standard. For endurance, it's often used in more formal or descriptive contexts. In very informal speech, other verbs like 'klare' might be used for passing, but 'bestå' is the correct and most widely understood term.

मूल अर्थ: The original meaning likely related to standing firm, enduring, or persisting, which aligns with its modern meaning of continuing to exist or remain valid.
Germanic (North Germanic)सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
The verb 'bestå' is generally neutral. However, discussing exam results should be done with sensitivity, as failure can be a difficult topic for individuals.
While 'bestow' exists in English, its meaning (to grant or give a gift) is different. The Danish 'bestå' meaning 'to pass' or 'to endure' is unique. Learners should focus on the Danish context for these meanings.

10 सवालThe main difference is their outcome. 'Bestå' means to pass an exam or test, indicating success. 'Dumpe' is the direct opposite and means to fail an exam or test, indicating an unsuccessful outcome. For example, 'Han bestod sin eksamen' means 'He passed his exam,' while 'Han dumpede sin eksamen' means 'He failed his exam.'
'Bestået' is the past participle of 'bestå'. You use it with auxiliary verbs like 'har' (has/have) or 'er' (is/are) to form the perfect tenses, indicating a completed action. It's most commonly used when talking about successfully passing an exam or test in the past. For instance, 'Jeg har bestået min køreprøve' (I have passed my driving test).
No, not directly. The phrase 'bestå af' means 'to consist of'. For example, 'Kagen består af mel, sukker og æg.' (The cake consists of flour, sugar, and eggs.) Using 'bestå' alone does not mean 'to consist of'.
'Eksistere' simply means 'to exist', to be present. 'Bestå', when referring to existence, implies more of an endurance, persistence, or continued validity over time. For example, an old law might 'bestå' (remain valid), while a forgotten object might just 'eksistere' (exist) in an attic. 'Bestå' often carries a sense of continued relevance or strength.
The word is pronounced /bəˈstɔː/. The stress is on the second syllable: be-STÅ. The 'å' is a distinct Danish vowel, similar to the 'o' in 'more' or 'caught' in English, but with a rounded sound.
For exams, 'bestå' is the most standard and formal term. Informally, you might hear 'klar(e)' used, like 'Jeg klarede eksamen' (I managed the exam). 'Opnå' (to achieve) can be used for achieving a good grade, but not for passing the exam itself. 'Bestå' is the most precise verb for passing.
'Bestå tidens tand' is an idiom that translates to 'to withstand the test of time'. It's used to describe things like buildings, traditions, or ideas that have lasted and remained relevant or valuable over a long period without decaying or becoming obsolete.
While 'bestå' can mean to endure, it's more commonly used for abstract concepts, laws, traditions, or objects that persist. For living beings, verbs like 'leve' (to live), 'overleve' (to survive), or 'eksistere' (to exist) are more typical.
The past participle of 'bestå' is 'bestået'. It is essential for forming perfect tenses, like 'Hun har bestået' (She has passed).
Yes, 'bestå' is a very common verb in Danish, particularly in educational contexts (passing exams) and when discussing the longevity or validity of laws, agreements, or traditions.

Master the 'å' Sound
The Danish 'å' sound in 'bestå' is crucial for correct pronunciation. It's a rounded vowel, similar to the 'o' in 'more' or 'caught'. Practice saying it distinctly, ensuring your lips are rounded. Avoid pronouncing it like the 'a' in 'cat' or 'aw' in 'law'.
Past Participle 'Bestået'
Remember that 'bestået' is the past participle. You'll frequently see and use it in sentences like 'Jeg har bestået' (I have passed) or 'Han er blevet bestået' (He has been passed/deemed successful). Incorrectly using 'bestå' instead of 'bestået' is a common learner error.
Context is Key
