Indikeres

Indikeres is the present passive form of the Norwegian verb indikere, meaning to indicate, point to, or signal. It is used in formal and technical Norwegian to express that something is suggested or demonstrated by evidence, data, or circumstances rather than stated directly.

In practice, indikeres appears in contexts such as medicine, statistics, and analysis, where conclusions are inferred from results. For example, a sentence like "Symptomene indikeres ved analysen" translates to "The symptoms are indicated by the analysis." The agent responsible for the indication, if mentioned, is usually introduced with av or ved, as in "symptomene indikeres av testresultatene" (the symptoms are indicated by the test results).

Grammatical notes: indikeres functions as the passive present tense form and does not require an explicit agent in many cases. It is commonly used to discuss what evidence or observations point toward a certain conclusion, diagnosis, or interpretation.

Etymology and cognates: the word originates from the Latin indicare (to point out), through the development of Romance and Scandinavian languages. Related Norwegian terms include indikasjon (indication) and indikere (to indicate), which share the same semantic field.

See also: indikasjon, indikere. These related terms cover the act of indicating and the signs or signals that point to a conclusion. Indikeres thus serves as a formal, objective way to attribute a conclusion to supporting information rather than to direct assertion.
