Oppsatt

Oppsatt is a Norwegian term that functions as an adjective and the past participle of the verb oppsette, meaning to set up, post, or display. It describes information, notices, posters, or displays that have been posted, affixed, or publicly shown. The word is commonly used in administrative, public, and everyday contexts to indicate that something is visible and accessible.

Etymology and form: Oppsatt derives from the prefix opp- (“up”) combined with sette (“to place” or “to set”). As a participle, it can modify nouns in different grammatical genders and numbers, with related forms such as oppsatte in plural or feminine contexts.

Usage and scope: The term covers both physical postings—such as notices on a bulletin board, signs at a building, or posters affixed to surfaces—and digital postings, like information published on a website or portal. In official language, oppsatt signals that the information has been publicly disseminated and is intended to be read by the relevant audience.

Examples: Kunngjøringen ble oppsatt på tavlen. Lister over vedtekter ble oppsatt på nettsiden. In everyday use, people might refer to oppsatte plakater or oppslag that remain visible for a designated period.
