Medregnes

Medregnes is a Norwegian verb form derived from medregne, meaning to include or count as part of something. The prefix med- combined with regne (to count, calculate) conveys the sense of inclusion in a total, category, or set. In practice, medregnes indicates that a person, item, or factor is treated as part of a larger whole for purposes of calculation, assessment, or classification. The term is common in official language—statistics, budgeting, policy documents, and administrative reporting—where precise accounting or inclusion rules are required. The form medregnes is typically used in third-person singular present tense: for example, "Disse faktorene medregnes i den endelige analysen" or "Antallet medregnes i totalen." The concept is close to English include, count as, or be included, and in Norwegian can be replaced with inkluderes or tas med i beregningen depending on tone and style. In legal or technical contexts, exact criteria for what medregnes are specified in guidelines or protocols to ensure consistency across reports. Etymology: from med (with) + regne (to count).
