Materialiserte

Materialiserte is the Norwegian past tense of the verb materialisere, meaning to materialize or to give tangible form to something. It describes something that has become real, concrete, or physically manifested, such as a plan, an idea, or a fear that has been realized.

Etymology: The term is formed from the Norwegian adaptation of the French verb materialiser, which ultimately derives from Latin materia meaning matter. In Norwegian, the verb is conjugated with present tense materialiserer, past tense materialiserte, and supine materialisert.

Usage: In everyday Norwegian, materialiserte describes concepts, plans, or experiences that have been realized or made real. It can apply to plans that were put into practice, or to sensations and phenomena that are now tangible. In philosophical or cognitive writing, it may refer to turning abstract notions into concrete representations or demonstrations.

Computing and data contexts: In IT and databases, materialiserte is used to translate the idea of a “materialized” view. A materialisert visning stores the results of a query for faster access, as opposed to a virtual view that computes results on demand. In Norwegian technical literature, materialisering refers to the process itself, while materialisert can describe the stored results or the materialized view.
