Henvendt

Henvendt is a Norwegian word that translates to "addressed to" or "directed at" in English. It is commonly used in formal and informal contexts to indicate the recipient or intended audience of something. For example, a letter might be "henvendt til" (addressed to) a specific person or organization. Similarly, a speech could be "henvendt til" a particular group of listeners. The word implies a direct line of communication or a specific target.

In a broader sense, "henvendt" can also refer to something that is turned towards or facing a particular direction. This usage is less common but still valid. For instance, a building could be described as "henvendt mot" (facing towards) the sea. The core meaning remains one of directionality, whether in communication or physical orientation. The context typically clarifies which specific meaning is intended. Understanding "henvendt" is crucial for comprehending nuanced Norwegian communication and descriptions.
