Annullerte

Annullerte is the past tense form of the Norwegian verb annullere, meaning to cancel, annul, or void. It is used to describe actions that have been completed in the past, resulting in the cancellation or nullification of an arrangement, document, or decision.

The verb annullere is borrowed into Norwegian from Danish and Swedish, with cognates in other Germanic languages. Its etymology traces to the French annuler and ultimately to Latin nullus or annulare, reflecting the idea of making something null or void.

Conjugation and usage: present tense is annullerer; past tense is annullerte; past participle is annullert. In sentences, one might say: Planen ble annullert i går. De annullerte avtalen. The form annullerte is commonly found in news reports, official statements, and written correspondence describing actions that were canceled in the past.

Context and nuance: annullere is typically used in legal, administrative, and formal contexts to indicate that a contract, order, decision, or formal arrangement has been made invalid. For more everyday cancellations of events or plans, avlyse is often preferred, though annullere and its past tense may still appear in formal or technical writing.
