When you hear the Danish word "publikation," think about things that are made public, especially in written form. It's often used when talking about books, magazines, or newspapers.
For example, if a company releases a new report, that report is a "publikation." If a scientist publishes a research paper, that paper is also a "publikation."
It's about making information available to many people through printed or digital materials. So, it's a general term for something that has been published.
§ What 'publikation' means
The Danish word "publikation" (pronounced: poo-blee-kah-shon) is a noun. It's often used in a formal context. The CEFR level B2 means you'll encounter it in standard conversations and writings.
- Definition
- The preparation and issuing of a book or journal.
Think of "publikation" as the act of making something public, especially in print. It refers to the process or the result of publishing something, like a book, a magazine, or a report.
§ How to use 'publikation' in a sentence
"Publikation" is a common noun and follows standard Danish noun rules. It is a common gender noun (en-word). This means it takes the indefinite article "en" and the definite article "-en" (or "-en" if it's the subject of a sentence and you're adding it to the end of the word).
Let's look at some examples:
En ny publikation blev udgivet i går.
- Translation Hint

Den akademiske publikation er meget vigtig.

§ Don't confuse 'publikation' with 'publicering'
While both words relate to making something public, they aren't interchangeable. 'Publikation' refers to the item itself, the published work. Think of it as the book, the journal, the article. 'Publicering' is the act or process of publishing. It's the verb, the action of making something public.
- DEFINITION
- Publikation (noun): The prepared and issued book, journal, or other document.
- DEFINITION
- Publicering (noun): The act or process of publishing; the act of making something publicly known.
Denne publikation er meget informativ. (This publication is very informative.)
Processen med publicering kan være lang. (The process of publishing can be long.)
§ Using 'publikation' for non-written media
While English 'publication' can sometimes refer to other forms of media being made public (like a 'publication' of a new film), in Danish, 'publikation' almost exclusively refers to written works. If you're talking about a film being released or a song being made available, you'd use different words like 'udgivelse' (release) or 'lancering' (launch).
Filmens udgivelse var en stor succes. (The film's release was a big success.)
Der var en stor fest ved lanceringen af det nye album. (There was a big party at the launch of the new album.)
§ Plural form of 'publikation'
The plural of 'publikation' is 'publikationer'. It's a regular plural noun, but sometimes learners might try to make it irregular or use the singular when a plural is needed. Pay attention to the context.
Biblioteket har mange interessante publikationer. (The library has many interesting publications.)
De udgiver nye publikationer hvert kvartal. (They publish new publications every quarter.)
§ Not using 'en' or 'et' correctly
Remember that 'publikation' is a common gender noun, so it takes the indefinite article 'en'. A common mistake is to use 'et' instead. Always double-check the gender of Danish nouns.
- En publikation (a publication)
- Publikationen (the publication)
- Flere publikationer (several publications)
- Publikationerne (the publications)
De læser en publikation om historie. (They are reading a publication about history.)
Jeg fandt publikationen i arkivet. (I found the publication in the archive.)
