Prosesseres

Prosesseres is the present passive form of the verb prosessere (to process) in Norwegian, used in Bokmål and, in related forms, other Scandinavian languages. The form conveys that the action of processing is carried out on the subject rather than by the subject. It is commonly found in formal or technical writing, such as data handling, manufacturing, and administrative contexts.

Morphology and usage. In Norwegian, many verbs form the present passive by adding a suffix to the stem, producing forms like prosesseres. The subject is described as undergoing the processing, while the agent performing the action may be omitted or introduced with a prepositional phrase (for example, by the system or by a processor). The construction is chosen to emphasize the process over the actor, aligning with neutral, procedural, or descriptive text.

Examples. Dataene prosesseres av systemet. Filene prosesseres kontinuerlig under overvåking. In practice, writers may also express similar ideas with alternative passive forms or with active voice, depending on style and clarity requirements.

Relation to other terms. Prosess and prosessering refer to the process itself and the act of processing, respectively. The present passive form prosesseres is part of a broader set of passive constructions in Norwegian grammar, which also includes other verbs that describe ongoing actions. In English-language contexts, equivalents include “is processed” or “is being processed.”
