Selgeren

Selgeren is the definite form of the Norwegian noun selger, which denotes a person who sells goods or services—i.e., a seller or salesperson. The indefinite form is selger, and the plural is selgerne. The term is used in a wide range of contexts, from everyday conversation to business and legal language.

Etymology and form: Selger is derived from the verb selge, meaning to sell, with the agent-noun suffix -er. The definite form selgeren marks a specific seller in a given context, for example in a sentence about a particular transaction. In many texts the terms selger, selgeren, and selgerne appear alongside kjøper (buyer) and other contract terms.

Usage: The word appears frequently in commercial and legal settings, including contracts, invoices, advertisements, and negotiations. It designates the party responsible for delivering goods or providing services as agreed in a sale. In consumer protection and commerce, the selger is often contrasted with the kjøper (buyer), with responsibilities such as delivery, warranties, and compliance with agreed terms.

Context and related terms: Related concepts include levering (delivery), garanti (warranty), retur (return), and ansvar (liability). While selger is commonly used in standard Norwegian, other terms may be employed in formal or technical texts to specify roles and obligations within a sale or contract.
