Videreformulerte

Videreformulerte is a Norwegian verb form meaning reformulated or rephrased, and it represents the past tense of the verb videreformulere. The word is built from videreformulere, with videre functioning as a prefix meaning “further” or “again” and formulere meaning “to formulate” or “to phrase.” The term is commonly used in written Norwegian to indicate that someone restated a statement, often to improve clarity, precision, or accuracy.

Conjugation and usage: The infinitive is å videreformulere. In present tense, one says videreformulerer; in simple past, videreformulerte; the supine or past participle form is videreformulert. In compound tenses or passive constructions, the past participle videreformulert is used, as in budskapet er videreformulert (the message has been reformulated). The form videreformulerte can function as a simple past tense or as a participial form in certain constructions.

Context and scope: Videreformulerte appears primarily in formal, academic, journalistic, or professional writing. It signals that content was revised or restated, rather than introducing new ideas. The term is closely related to omformulere (to reformulate) and to the noun videreformulering (the act of reformulation).

Examples:

- For å gjøre budskapet klarere videreformulerte forskeren setningen.

- Artikkelen ble videreformulert for å tydeliggjøre metodene.
