Beregnningen

Beregnningen is a Norwegian noun meaning the act of calculating or estimating. It is formed from the verb beregne, meaning to calculate, combined with the nominalizing suffix -ningen, which marks processes or actions. The term is used across several domains to refer to the systematic determination of quantities, costs, probabilities, or outcomes.

In mathematics and science, beregningen refers to the calculation or computation of numbers, solutions, or models. In statistics and data analysis, it can denote the process of deriving estimates, while in economics and accounting it refers to the computation of costs, taxes, prices, or projections. The term is common in both spoken and written Norwegian and appears in formal documents, guides, and curricula.

Related forms include beregning (singular), beregner (calculator or calculator program in colloquial Norwegian), and beregningsgrunnlag (calculation base for certain benefits or taxes). The context often clarifies whether beregningen refers to a mathematical computation, an algorithmic procedure, or an administrative calculation.

If used as a title or heading, Beregnningen may be styled as The Calculation or The Estimation in translations, but there is no single canonical work universally associated with the term in Norwegian literature.
