§ Similar words and when to use 'arrestere' vs alternatives
- At anholde: This is probably the closest synonym to 'arrestere' and is also very common. 'At anholde' (an-HOL-de) generally means 'to apprehend' or 'to detain'. In many legal contexts, 'anholde' and 'arrestere' can be used interchangeably, especially when referring to the police taking someone into custody. However, 'anholde' can sometimes imply a more temporary detention or a formal apprehension without necessarily leading to immediate charges.
Politiet anholdt manden efter at have fundet tyvekoster.
- At tilbageholde: This verb means 'to hold back' or 'to detain'. It's a more general term than 'arrestere' or 'anholde' and doesn't always imply police involvement or criminal suspicion. You could use 'tilbageholde' if, for example, a store employee detains a shoplifter until the police arrive, or if someone is held back for questioning without being formally arrested.
Vagten måtte tilbageholde ham, indtil politiet kom.
- At fange: This means 'to catch' or 'to capture'. While 'at fange' can certainly apply to catching a criminal, it's a much more informal and broader term. You can 'fange' a ball, 'fange' a bus, or even 'fange' a cold. When talking about criminals, 'at fange' focuses on the act of getting hold of them, rather than the formal legal process of an arrest.
Politiet forsøgte at fange røveren i flugten.
