Utstyres

Utstyres is a Norwegian verb form meaning to equip or to be equipped, used in passive constructions to describe something that currently has equipment or is being supplied with gear. It is derived from the verb utstyre, which means to provide with equipment, and from the noun utstyr, meaning equipment.

In Norwegian grammar, utstyre forms the active present tense utstyrer, with past tense utstyrte and supine utstyrt. The corresponding present passive form is utstyres, and the past passive is expressed with ble utstyrt. The construction often uses med to indicate what is being provided, as in a building that is utstyres med safety features or a vehicle fleet that is utstyres med new communications gear.

Common contexts for utstyres include construction, shipping, public administration, and technology, where objects, facilities, or organizations are equipped with tools, systems, or resources. While utstyre and utstyr are the related noun and verb, utstyres specifies the state or process of equipment in progress or as a result.

Etymology connects utstyres to utstyr (equipment) with standard Norwegian verb morphology. The word is part of a broader Germanic family of terms for furnishing or provisioning. Cognates exist in neighboring languages, such as Danish udstyres and Swedish utrustas, which reflect parallel developments in the region.

Overall, utstyres functions as the present passive form of a common verb for outfitting and provisioning, widely used across formal and technical Norwegian texts to describe what is or will be equipped.
