Do "deltager" (participant) and "deltager" as a verb have different pronunciation?

Other example is like "modtager".

Hi Ludwig

Both of them can be pronounced the same. However, the verb version of "tager" is often pronounced a bit like "tar" in speech

Hope this helps

Modtageren - modta'ren? Not so sure of that.

Although it works with "skoma'ren" (skomageren) - if you are not from Jutland.

That's true, that would sound wrong. Hadn't thought of it quite enough

Although even Jutland has accepted "skomar" when it is about billards.

Where? What? - only the word "deltager", or what do you mean?

 

[Svenke]

According to Den Danske Ordbog:

In the noun deltager, -tager has two syllables in all forms (deltager, deltageren, deltagere, deltagerne).
deltager — Den Danske Ordbog

The verb deltage is inflected -tage, -tager, -tog, -taget
-tage sounds as if it had the spelling ta
-tager sounds as if it had the spelling tar (one syllable)
-tog sounds as if it had the spelling to
-taget sounds as if it had the spelling taet
