This is the 346th most frequent Danish word.
viste
"Viste" in English means "showed" or "displayed."
Here, 'viste' means 'showed' and is the past tense of the verb 'vise', which means 'to show'.
Hun viste mig et billede fra ferien.
She showed me a picture from the vacation.
In this sentence, 'viste' is part of the phrase 'viste sig', which means 'turned out' or 'proved', conveying the discovery or realization of a trait.
Han viste sig at være en god ven.
He turned out to be a good friend.
Again, 'viste' here means 'showed' and relates to the action of displaying a quality, in this case, hospitality.
