avtalt

Avtalt is a Norwegian adjective and past participle of the verb avtale, meaning that something has been agreed or settled through an agreement. It is used to describe terms, conditions or arrangements that have been established by mutual agreement between parties.

In practical use, avtalt commonly precedes a noun to indicate an agreed term: avtalt pris (agreed price), avtalt tidspunkt (agreed time), avtalt beløp (agreed amount). It can also appear in clauses that express that an agreement has been reached, for example: Det er avtalt at møtet starter klokken ti (It has been agreed that the meeting starts at ten), Partene har avtalt en ny pris (The parties have agreed on a new price), Vi har avtalt å møtes klokken ti (We have agreed to meet at ten).

Grammatically, avtalt can be used attributively before a noun or predicatively after a linking verb such as være or ha: prisen er avtalt (the price is agreed), summen er avtalt (the sum is agreed). As a past participle, its form agrees with the noun in number and definiteness in Norwegian, following standard participle usage.

Etymology and related forms: avtalt derives from the Norwegian verb avtale (to agree, to make an agreement). Cognate forms exist in other Scandinavian languages, such as Danish aftalt and Swedish avtalat, with similar meanings.
