Håndskreven
Håndskreven is a Norwegian adjective meaning “handwritten.” It is used to describe any text that has been produced by hand rather than by a mechanical or electronic device. The word derives from the Norwegian noun hand, referring to the hand, and the past participle of the verb skrive, which means “to write.” As such, håndskreven literally translates to “written by hand.”
In everyday usage, the term appears in contexts such as håndskrevne brev (handwritten letters), håndskrevne notater
Historically, much of Norway’s primary literature—from medieval runic inscriptions to 19th‑century diaries—was captured in håndskreven form.
The concept of håndskreven has parallels in other Scandinavian languages, such as dansk hedbrev and svensk
