Koordinerer

Koordinerer is a Norwegian verb form meaning to coordinate. It describes the act of organizing people, resources, time, and actions so that they work together toward a common goal. The term is commonly used in business, project management, event planning, logistics, and public administration, as well as in emergency or crisis response to align efforts across teams.

Etymology and usage: Koordinere comes from the Latin root *coordinare*, via French and English usage. In Norwegian, synonyms include samordne, organisere and tilrettelegge, with subtle nuances: samordne often emphasizes aligning multiple actors or plans, while koordinere focuses on bringing activities into synchronized operation. The form koordinerer appears in present tense, as in “han koordinerer arbeidet.” The base form is å koordinere; past tense is koordinerte, and the supine is koordinert. The present participle is koordinerende.

Grammar and examples: As a regular verb, it follows standard conjugation patterns in Bokmål. Example sentences: Lederen koordinerer prosjektet mellom avdelingene. Gruppen koordinerer transport og oppsett for konferansen. Under nødsituasjoner koordinerer politiet redningsinnsatsen.

Notes: In mathematics, related terms exist such as koordinater and koordinat, which refer to coordinates, not the action of coordinating. Those terms share a common origin but belong to different linguistic domains.
