Tiltaget

Tiltaget is the definite singular form of the Danish noun tiltag, which denotes a measure, initiative, or action undertaken to achieve a goal. It is commonly used in political, corporate, and organizational contexts to refer to planned or adopted steps designed to address problems or improve conditions.

Usage and nuance: Tiltaget is a neutral term that can refer to formal policies as well as more informal efforts. It is frequently found in media and official communications, describing concrete programs or actions rather than broad concepts. In nuance, tiltag is somewhat closer to “initiative” or “measure,” while foranstaltning often carries a stronger regulatory or legally binding sense, and initiativ emphasizes the idea of proposing something new.

Forms and grammar: As a noun, tiltag has the indefinite singular et tiltag, the definite singular tilaget, the indefinite plural tiltag, and the definite plural tiltagene. It is related to the verb tiltage, meaning to undertake or adopt, and the prefix til- plus tage, reflecting the sense of taking on a course of action.

Examples: Regeringen lancerede et nyt tiltag for at fremme grøn energi. Kommunens tiltag inkluderer skattelettelser og støtte til små virksomheder.
