Two Meanings, One Word
The Danish verb udsætte is a versatile word with two primary meanings, depending on the context. It can mean 'to postpone' or 'to delay' something, or it can mean 'to expose' something or someone to a risk, danger, or even a specific condition. Understanding these nuances is key to using it correctly.
- Postponement
- When you want to say that an event or task is being moved to a later time, udsætte is the word to use. This applies to meetings, appointments, deadlines, or any planned activity. Think of it as 'putting something off'.
- Exposure
- In its other meaning, udsætte refers to placing something or someone in a situation where they are vulnerable or subjected to certain influences. This could be physical exposure to weather, emotional exposure to criticism, or even exposure to a disease. It implies a lack of protection or a direct encounter with an element or force.
Vi må udsætte mødet til næste uge. (We must postpone the meeting until next week.)
Soldaterne blev udsat for kraftig beskydning. (The soldiers were exposed to heavy gunfire.)
- Context is Key
- The surrounding words will almost always tell you which meaning is intended. If you see words related to time, schedules, or delays, it's about postponing. If you see words related to danger, risks, conditions, or environments, it's about exposure.
- Figurative Use
- Beyond the literal, udsætte can be used figuratively. For example, you might say someone is 'exposed' to criticism, meaning they are subjected to it, or a project is 'postponed' due to unforeseen circumstances, meaning it's delayed. The core idea of being placed in a situation or delaying remains.
Projektet blev udsat på grund af manglende finansiering. (The project was postponed due to lack of funding.)
Børnene blev udsat for et dårligt eksempel. (The children were exposed to a bad example.)
Postponing Actions and Events
When you need to talk about delaying something, udsætte is your go-to verb. It's frequently used in planning, scheduling, and discussing changes to timelines. You'll often hear it in professional settings, but it's also common in everyday life when plans need to be shifted.
- Formal Postponement
- In more formal contexts, like business meetings or official announcements, udsætte is used to communicate delays. For example, a company might announce that a product launch has been postponed.
Vi må udsætte vores ferie på grund af sygdom. (We must postpone our holiday due to illness.)
- Informal Postponement
- Even in casual conversations, udsætte works for delaying plans with friends or family. It's a natural way to communicate that something won't happen at the originally planned time.
Kan vi udsætte vores aftale til i morgen? (Can we postpone our appointment until tomorrow?)
Exposing to Danger and Conditions
The 'expose' meaning of udsætte is used in a wide range of situations where something or someone is put into a vulnerable position or subjected to external factors.
- Physical Exposure
- This includes exposure to the elements, like weather. You might say someone is 'exposed to the cold' or 'exposed to the sun'.
Planterne må ikke udsættes for direkte sollys. (The plants must not be exposed to direct sunlight.)
- Exposure to Risk or Danger
- This is a very common usage, especially in news reports or discussions about safety. It refers to being put in harm's way.
Børnene blev udsat for fare under ulykken. (The children were exposed to danger during the accident.)
- Exposure to Influence or Conditions
- This can include being exposed to new ideas, criticism, or specific environments that might have an effect.
Han blev udsat for pres fra sine kolleger. (He was exposed to pressure from his colleagues.)
Everyday Conversations: Postponement
In casual Danish, when friends are making plans, you'll often hear udsætte. If someone can't make it to a movie night or a dinner, they might say:
'Jeg er ked af det, men jeg må udsætte vores kaffeaftale til næste uge.' (I'm sorry, but I have to postpone our coffee date until next week.)
This is a polite and common way to reschedule. You might also hear it when discussing household chores or errands that need to be done later.
News and Official Announcements: Postponement
In news reports, official statements, or business contexts, udsætte is standard for announcing delays. This could be about:
- Event cancellations or postponements: 'Koncerten er udsat på ubestemt tid.' (The concert is postponed indefinitely.)
- Project deadlines: 'Fristen for ansøgningen er udsat.' (The deadline for the application has been postponed.)
- Government decisions or policy implementations: 'Den nye lovgivning vil blive udsat.' (The new legislation will be postponed.)
På grund af vejret blev festivalen udsat. (Due to the weather, the festival was postponed.)
Discussions of Risk and Danger: Exposure
The 'expose' meaning is very common in contexts discussing safety, health, and environmental issues. You'll hear it when people talk about:
- Health risks: 'Man kan blive udsat for smitte på offentlige steder.' (One can be exposed to infection in public places.)
- Environmental hazards: 'Området er udsat for oversvømmelser.' (The area is exposed to floods.)
- Accidents and emergencies: 'De evakuerede blev udsat for fare.' (The evacuees were exposed to danger.)
- Social or psychological pressures: 'Børn kan blive udsat for mobning.' (Children can be exposed to bullying.)
Arbejderne var udsat for farlige kemikalier. (The workers were exposed to dangerous chemicals.)
Scientific and Technical Language
In scientific research, medical reports, or technical manuals, udsætte is used precisely to describe exposure to specific conditions, radiation, substances, or treatments.
Studiet undersøgte, hvordan mus blev udsat for stråling. (The study investigated how mice were exposed to radiation.)
Confusing 'Postpone' and 'Cancel'
A frequent mistake for learners is using udsætte when they actually mean 'to cancel'. While udsætte means to postpone or delay, it implies that the event or activity will still happen at a later date. If something is definitively called off, the Danish word is typically 'aflyse'.
- Mistake
- 'Vi udsat koncerten.' (Meaning: We have cancelled the concert.)
- Correct
- 'Vi har aflyst koncerten.' (We have cancelled the concert.) OR 'Vi har udsat koncerten til næste år.' (We have postponed the concert until next year.)
Misinterpreting 'Exposure' Context
When udsætte means 'to expose', learners might sometimes use it in situations where a more specific verb related to 'risk' or 'danger' might be more appropriate, or they might omit the crucial preposition 'for'.
- Mistake
- 'Han udsat fare.' (Meaning: He exposed danger - grammatically awkward and unclear.)
- Correct
- 'Han blev udsat for fare.' (He was exposed to danger.) OR 'Faren udsatte ham.' (The danger exposed him - less common in this passive sense.)
Incorrect Verb Conjugation
Like any verb, udsætte needs to be conjugated correctly. Learners might forget to change the verb form based on tense or subject.
- Mistake
- 'Vi udsætter mødet i går.' (We postpone the meeting yesterday.)
- Correct
- 'Vi udsatte mødet i går.' (We postponed the meeting yesterday.)
Postponement:
When udsætte means to postpone, several other words can be used, each with slightly different connotations.
- Udskyde
- This is a very close synonym to udsætte when referring to postponement. It also means to delay or put off. They are often interchangeable in this context. 'Udskyde' might sometimes carry a slightly stronger sense of pushing something further into the future.
- Example: 'Vi må udskyde mødet.' (We must postpone the meeting.) This is very similar to 'Vi må udsætte mødet.'
- Forsinke
- This verb means 'to delay' or 'to make late'. It's often used when something is delayed due to external factors or unforeseen circumstances, rather than a deliberate decision to postpone. It focuses more on the state of being late.
- Example: 'Toget blev forsinket på grund af sne.' (The train was delayed due to snow.) Here, 'forsinket' is more fitting than 'udsat'.
- Aflyse
- As mentioned, this means 'to cancel'. It's crucial not to confuse it with udsætte. 'Aflyse' means the event will not happen at all.
- Example: 'Vi må aflyse festen.' (We must cancel the party.)
Exposure:
When udsætte means to expose, the alternatives often depend on the specific type of exposure.
- Eksponere
- This is a direct cognate and synonym for 'to expose', often used in more technical or scientific contexts, similar to English. It's a very precise term.
- Example: 'Filmen eksponerer et samfundsproblem.' (The film exposes a societal problem.) This is very similar to 'Filmen udsætter et samfundsproblem.'
- Blotlægge
- This means 'to lay bare' or 'to reveal'. It can be used for physical exposure (e.g., uncovering something) or figurative exposure (e.g., revealing a secret or vulnerability).
- Example: 'Undersøgelsen blotlagde store uligheder.' (The investigation revealed great inequalities.) This is different from udsætte, which would imply people were subjected to those inequalities.
- Udsat for fare
- While udsætte is the verb, the phrase 'udsætte for fare' is a common way to express being put in danger. There isn't a single verb that perfectly captures this without using udsætte in this specific context.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The prefix 'ud-' is very common in Danish verbs and often implies movement away from a starting point or bringing something into view. When combined with 'sætte', it creates the sense of placing something outward, which can lead to exposure or a need to move it aside.
発音ガイド
- Mispronouncing the 'æ' sound, often rendering it too short or like an 'e'.
- Incorrect stress placement, potentially stressing the first or third syllable.
- Not clearly articulating the initial 'u' sound.
- Reducing the final 'e' sound too much, making it inaudible.
難易度
Understanding 'udsætte' in reading requires distinguishing between its two main meanings. The 'postpone' meaning is usually clear from temporal context, while the 'expose' meaning relies on identifying risks, conditions, or influences. Learners might need to consult dictionaries for less common uses or figurative language.
Correctly using 'udsætte' in writing involves choosing the right meaning and using appropriate grammatical structures, especially the passive 'udsættes for' and the reflexive 'udsætte sig selv for'. Conjugation and prepositional use are also important.
Speaking fluently with 'udsætte' requires quick contextual disambiguation and correct pronunciation. Learners might hesitate when deciding which meaning to use or how to conjugate the verb.
Distinguishing the two meanings of 'udsætte' in spoken Danish relies heavily on the surrounding words and the overall context of the conversation or audio.

Neutral間違えやすい
Both 'udsætte' and 'udskyde' mean to postpone or delay.
'Udsætte' and 'udskyde' are very close synonyms when referring to postponement and are often used interchangeably. 'Udsætte' can also mean 'to expose', which 'udskyde' does not. In the context of postponement, 'udskyde' might sometimes imply a more significant delay or pushing something further into the future, but this distinction is subtle and not always present.
Vi må <strong>udsætte</strong> mødet. (We must postpone the meeting.) / Vi må <strong>udskyde</strong> mødet. (We must postpone the meeting.)
Both relate to events not happening at their scheduled time.
'Udsætte' means to postpone, meaning the event will happen at a later, determined or undetermined, time. 'Aflyse' means to cancel, meaning the event will not happen at all. This is a critical distinction for planning and communication.
Vi må <strong>udsætte</strong> festen til næste uge. (We must postpone the party until next week.) vs. Vi må <strong>aflyse</strong> festen. (We must cancel the party.)
Both involve a delay.
'Udsætte' implies a deliberate decision to move something to a later time. 'Forsinke' means to delay, often due to external circumstances or an impediment, and focuses on the state of being late. For example, a train might be 'forsinket' (delayed) by snow, but a meeting might be 'udsat' (postponed) by the organizer.
Toget var <strong>forsinket</strong> på grund af sne. (The train was delayed due to snow.) vs. Vi må <strong>udsætte</strong> vores rejse. (We must postpone our trip.)
Both can mean 'to expose'.
'Eksponere' is a more direct cognate of the English 'expose' and is often used in scientific, technical, or medical contexts with a precise meaning. 'Udsætte' is more general and can cover a wider range of exposures, including to danger, conditions, or influences, and is also used for postponing. While they overlap in the 'expose' meaning, 'udsætte' is more versatile.
Cellerne blev <strong>eksponeret</strong> for UV-lys. (The cells were exposed to UV light.) vs. Han blev <strong>udsat for</strong> fare. (He was exposed to danger.)
Both can imply revealing something.
'Blotlægge' means 'to lay bare' or 'to reveal', often used for uncovering truths, secrets, or physical structures. 'Udsætte' (in the sense of exposure) means to subject something to a condition or risk. 'Blotlægge' is about showing or revealing, while 'udsætte' is about being subjected to something.
Undersøgelsen <strong>blotlagde</strong> korruption. (The investigation revealed corruption.) vs. Børnene blev <strong>udsat for</strong> korruption. (The children were exposed to corruption.)

チャレンジ
Try to use 'udsætte' in three sentences today, one for postponing something, one for exposing someone to danger, and one for exposing something to a condition. For example: 'Vi må udsætte vores aftale,' 'Børnene blev udsat for fare,' and 'Planterne blev udsat for frost.'
語源
The word 'udsætte' is a compound verb formed from the prefix 'ud-' (out, forth) and the verb 'sætte' (to set, to put). The prefix 'ud-' in this context often implies 'setting something out' or 'placing something forth'.
元の意味： The original sense was likely 'to set out' or 'to put forth', which evolved into the meanings of 'to expose' (setting something out into an environment) and 'to postpone' (setting something aside for later).
Germanic文化的な背景
The 'expose' meaning can be sensitive, especially when referring to exposure to danger, violence, or harmful conditions. It's important to use this meaning with care and awareness of the potential negative implications.
In English, 'postpone' and 'expose' are distinct words, making the Danish dual meaning of 'udsætte' a point of potential confusion for learners. However, the root 'sætte' (to set) can loosely connect to both meanings: setting a task aside for later, or setting something out into an environment.

よくある質問
10 問The key difference lies in the outcome for the event or task. 'Udsætte' means to postpone, so the event will still happen, just at a later time. 'Aflyse' means to cancel, meaning the event will not happen at all. For example, 'Vi udsætter mødet til næste uge' means the meeting will take place next week. 'Vi aflyser mødet' means there will be no meeting.
Context is everything. If the sentence talks about time, dates, scheduling, or delays (e.g., 'møde', 'fest', 'rejse'), it's about postponing. If it talks about danger, risks, conditions, or influences (e.g., 'fare', 'kulde', 'pres', 'sollys'), it's about exposing. Pay attention to the surrounding words for clues.
When referring to postponement, 'udsætte' and 'udskyde' are very similar and often interchangeable. Both mean to delay an event or task. However, 'udsætte' also has the meaning of 'to expose', which 'udskyde' does not have. So, while they overlap significantly for postponement, 'udsætte' is a broader term.
The past tense of 'udsætte' is 'udsatte'. For example, 'Vi udsatte mødet i går' (We postponed the meeting yesterday). The past participle is 'udsat', used in constructions like 'Det er blevet udsat' (It has been postponed).
'Udsætte for' is a common phrase meaning 'to expose to'. It's used when something or someone is subjected to a particular condition, risk, or influence. For example, 'Han blev udsat for fare' means 'He was exposed to danger'.
Yes, 'udsætte sig selv for' is a common reflexive construction, meaning 'to expose oneself to'. For instance, 'Man skal ikke udsætte sig selv for unødvendig risiko' (One should not expose oneself to unnecessary risk).
'Udsætte' implies a deliberate decision to postpone something to a later time. 'Forsinke' means to delay, often due to an external factor or obstacle, and focuses more on the state of being late rather than a planned reschedule. For example, a train is 'forsinket' (delayed) by weather, but a meeting is 'udsat' (postponed) by an organizer.
You would say it is 'udsat for vind og vejr'. For example, 'Den gamle statue var udsat for vind og vejr' (The old statue was exposed to wind and weather).
A common mistake is confusing 'udsætte' (postpone) with 'aflyse' (cancel). Another is forgetting the preposition 'for' when meaning 'expose', leading to incorrect phrases like 'udsatte fare' instead of 'udsatte for fare'.
The 'expose' meaning is very common in discussions about health risks (e.g., 'udsætte for sygdom'), environmental issues (e.g., 'udsætte for forurening'), safety (e.g., 'udsætte for fare'), and psychological or social influences (e.g., 'udsætte for pres', 'udsætte for kritik').

Summary
The Danish verb 'udsætte' is a dual-purpose word: it means 'to postpone' (delay an event) or 'to expose' (subject to danger or conditions). Pay close attention to the surrounding words to determine which meaning is intended, as context is crucial for correct understanding and usage.
- Udsætte: postpone (delay) or expose (to danger/conditions).
- Postpone: delay a meeting, event, or task.
- Expose: put someone/something in danger or subject to influence.
- Context is key to distinguish meanings.
- Common in news, planning, and safety discussions.
Context is King
Always look at the surrounding words to understand if 'udsætte' means to postpone or to expose. Words related to time and events suggest postponement, while words related to danger, conditions, or influences suggest exposure.
Master the Passive
The passive construction 'blive udsat for' (to be exposed to) is extremely common, especially when discussing negative exposures like danger, criticism, or pollution. Practice using this form.
Synonym Awareness
For postponement, 'udskyde' is a close synonym. For exposure, 'eksponere' is similar but often more scientific. Knowing these helps you understand and use the word more precisely.
Sentence Building
Create your own sentences using both meanings of 'udsætte'. Try to cover different contexts like postponing a meeting and being exposed to the sun. This active practice solidifies your understanding.
