Tilfør

Tilfør is a Danish verb meaning to bring something into a system or process, to supply, add or contribute. The verb is formed from the prefix til- (toward) and føre (to bring, to lead). The infinitive is tilføre, while tilfør is the imperative form used to command someone to add or provide something. The term is common in technical, economic, and everyday language.

Conjugation and forms: Infinitive tilføre; present tense tilfører; past tense tilførte; supine tilført. Passive present form is tilføres. The participle forms are tilført (past participle) and tilførsel as a noun meaning supply or inflow. The imperative singular is tilfør; the plural form is typically expressed in context rather than as a separate imperative form.

Usage: tilføre is used with objects such as penge (funds), data, næringsstoffer, information, ilt, and similar items. It can describe adding to a supply, contributing to a result, or introducing something new to a process. In business language, tilføre means to provide or allocate resources; in science and medicine, to deliver substances.

Examples: "Virksomheden tilførte kapital for at finansiere projektet." "Næringsstoffer tilføres cellerne gennem blodet." "Lægen tilførte patienten ekstra ilt." "Opskriften kræver tilførsel af to spiseskefulde sukker." Etymology: from til- and føre; related to Swedish tillföra; noun tilførsel.
