Inddrage

Inddrage is a Danish verb meaning to involve or to draw someone into a matter, discussion, or process. It is used to describe the act of bringing people into decision-making, planning, or analysis, typically with a sense of consultation or inclusion rather than coercion.

Etymology and forms: The word combines the prefix ind- (“into”) with drage (“to pull” or “to drag”), metaphorically indicating drawing someone into a matter. The related noun is inddragelse (involvement or inclusion). The participles are inddraget (involved) and inddragende (involving). The verb inflects for person and number (inddrager, inddrog, inddraget, etc.).

Usage: Inddrage is widely used in business, governance, research, and media. It often governs processes that aim at participation or consultation. Examples: "Vi vil inddrage medarbejderne i beslutningen." "Projektet inddrager data fra flere kilder." In English: "We will involve the employees in the decision," "The project involves data from multiple sources."
