angivelsen

Angivelsen is a Danish noun meaning indication, designation, specification, or notice. It refers to a piece of information that indicates or identifies something, or to the act of indicating. In everyday use, it can denote a stated fact or information provided in a document, form, or communication.

Etymology and grammar: Angivelsen is the definite singular form of the noun angivelse, which comes from the verb angive, meaning to indicate or to specify. The noun angivelse is feminine; its plural is angivelser, with the definite plural angivelserne. This word is commonly used in both informal and formal language to refer to information that designates or points to a particular detail.

Usage: In administrative and legal contexts, angivelse describes the required information that must be supplied or the designation of a particular item in a form, report, or registry. In journalism, research, or technical writing, it can refer to an asserted value or stated information, such as the angivelsen af datoen (the indication of the date) or the angivelsen af støjniveau (the stated level of noise). The term thus functions as a general label for information that clarifies or identifies something within a larger document or process.
