Håndteres

Håndteres is a verb form used in Norwegian Bokmål and Danish, derived from the verb håndtere, meaning to handle, manage, or deal with. Håndtere covers both physical handling and more abstract processes, such as handling tasks, problems, or information. The form håndteres is the present passive, used to indicate that something is being handled by someone or something else. It is common in official, procedural, and technical language to describe ongoing processes or operations.

Forms and grammar are centered on the verb håndtere. The active present is håndterer (he/she handles), the simple past is håndterte, and the present perfect is har håndtert. The past participle is håndtert, used in non-passive perfect constructions. In Bokmål and Danish, the present passive is typically expressed with håndteres (e.g., Situasjonen håndteres av myndighetene, The situation is being handled by the authorities). In nynorsk, the corresponding form is handterast.

Usage and context. Håndteres frequently appears in administrative, legal, and procedural contexts to describe how tasks, data, or incidents are processed. It can refer to handling information securely, managing a response to an event, or dealing with a procedure. Because it is a neutral, formal term, it is preferred in documentation, guidelines, and policy texts.

Related terms include håndtering (the act of handling or management) and behandle (to treat or process). A synonymous sense in English would be “to handle” or “to be handled,” depending on voice and mood.
