daglige

Daglige is a Norwegian adjective meaning “daily” or “everyday” when used before a plural noun. It is the plural form of daglig and appears before masculine, feminine, or neuter plural nouns in both indefinite and definite contexts, as in daglige rutiner (daily routines), daglige nyheter (daily news), or daglige oppgaver (daily tasks). The singular form used before a singular noun is daglig. In definite constructions the plural takes the ending -ne, yielding de daglige rutinene or de daglige nyhetene.

Daglige is most common in Bokmål. It describes aspects that recur every day or are characteristic of daily life, such as routines, news cycles, or tasks. It is not typically used as a standalone noun; rather, it functions as a modifier attached to a plural noun.

Etymology traces daglige to the Old Norse dagligr, derived from dagr meaning “day,” with the suffix -lig forming an adjective meaning “day-related” or “daily.”

Translations include English daily or everyday. Examples: daglige rutiner → daily routines, daglige nyheter → daily news, daglige oppgaver → daily tasks. In context, daglige emphasizes regular, day-to-day occurrence rather than one-off events.
