Sammenføje

Sammenføje is a verb used in Danish, with a cognate in Norwegian, meaning to join together or connect two or more elements into a single unit. It covers both physical joining, such as welding, soldering, or gluing parts, and abstract or functional joining, such as merging components, datasets, or systems. In practice, sammenføje describes the action of making separate pieces operate as one.

Etymology and forms are straightforward in the Scandinavian languages. The term combines the prefix sammen-, meaning “together,” with føje, a verb related to adding or attaching. The concept is common across technical and everyday contexts, though the exact spelling and tense forms vary by language and grammar.

Usage of sammenføje spans multiple domains. In manufacturing and construction, it can refer to physically joining parts to create a single object. In information technology and data management, it describes operations that merge or concatenate data from separate sources, or the integration of software modules. In organizational contexts, it may denote the bringing together of teams, departments, or companies into a unified entity. The word is common in technical manuals, engineering specifications, IT documentation, and project plans, where clear articulation of a joining or merging process is required.
