ansvarige

Ansvarige is a term used in Norwegian to refer to the people who bear responsibility or are in charge of a task, project, or event. It is the plural form of the adjective noun pair ansvarlig, and it can function as a noun phrase meaning “the people in charge” or as an attributive plural form describing the responsible persons. The singular form is ansvarlig, meaning “the responsible person.”

In usage, ansvarige designates accountability and authority over decisions, outcomes, and compliance within a given scope. It is commonly found in workplace contexts, project planning, safety and compliance discussions, and formal documentation to identify who is answerable for a particular domain or result. Variants such as de ansvarlige or ansvarlige personer are commonly used to emphasize the individuals who hold responsibility.

Across Scandinavian languages, cognate forms convey similar meaning. In Swedish, the related forms include ansvarig (singular) and ansvariga (plural), used similarly to denote the person or persons responsible. In Danish, ansvarlig (singular) and ansvarlige (plural) serve parallel roles, with de ansvarlige as a phrase for “the responsible ones.” While spelling and grammatical specifics vary, the core concept remains that ansvarige refers to those who hold accountability for a task, decision, or outcome.
