Videresend

Videresend is a verb used in Danish and Norwegian to describe the act of forwarding information or messages to another recipient. In Danish, the infinitive is videresende; the imperative form used on user interfaces as a button label is often Videresend, with conjugations such as videresender (present) and videresendte (past). In Norwegian, the corresponding verb is videresende, with forms including videresender, videresendte, and videresendt.

In computing and digital communication, videresende refers to forwarding an electronic message, file, or post to someone else. When a user selects Videresend, the original message is typically duplicated and sent to new recipients, often retaining the original subject line and attachments depending on the client. Some platforms allow adding a new message body or notes, and may present options regarding how much of the original message is included.

Usage notes include the distinction from replying: forwarding is used to share information with people beyond the original recipient, while replying is directed back to the original sender or a defined group. The term is widespread in email clients, messaging apps, and social platforms that implement a forward function, and it remains a common label in Danish- and Norwegian-language interfaces.
