Adjective

til måde

  1. placated
    • 1832, Norges Konge-Sagaer fra Magnus Barfod til Magnus Erlingsøn: 7, page 149:
      Han var meget hengiven til Drik, gjerrig, umild og vanskelig at gjøre til Maade.
      He was very fond of drink, greedy, harsh, and difficult to calm down.
    • 1735, Ludvig Holberg (baron), Dannemarks riges historie, page 339:
      Men man kand derimod ogsaa see af Historien, at en og anden Gang Opstand er giordt udi Sverrig meer af uroelige Menneskers Tilskyndelse end af rætmessige Aarsager; thi der skeede Rebellioner saavel under de Gode som de Onde Konger, saa det var vanskeligt at giøre de Svenske til Maade, hvilket bragte omsider Christianum 2 til den haarde Exsecution udi Stokholm, hvorved Olie blev kastet i Ilden og Grundvold lagt til det bittre Had, som sa længe har været mellem Dannemark og Sverrig.
      But one can, however, also see from history, that one time and another uprisings happened in Sweden more because of the encouragements of restless people than for rightul reasons; for rebellions happened under the good as well as under the evil kings, so it was difficult to placate the Swedish, which in the end led Christian II to the harsh execution in Stockholm, by which oil was thrown on the fire, and a foundation was laid for the bitter hatred that has for so long existed between Denmark and Sweden.
  2. acceptable, good enough
