dyptgående

Dyptgående is a Norwegian adjective meaning in-depth or thorough. It describes analyses, investigations, discussions, or explanations that probe underlying factors, contexts, and mechanisms rather than presenting only surface-level information. The term is a compound formed from a root meaning deep and the participial suffix -gående, a pattern used in Norwegian to describe ongoing processes or qualities, similar to pågående (ongoing) and inngående (detailed).

Common usage includes dyptgående analyse, dyptgående intervju, and dyptgående diskusjon. In journalism and academia, dyptgående signals a systematic, context-rich approach that aims to uncover underlying causes, connections, and implications. In education and policy analysis, dyptgående explanations are valued for depth and nuance, often contrasted with more superficial treatments.

Etymology: dyptgående is formed from the root meaning deep and the suffix -gående, which yields adjectives describing ongoing processes or states. The construction is part of a wider Norwegian pattern that creates adjectives indicating depth or thoroughness.

Notes: The term implies rigor and substantial examination; its exact nuance depends on context. It is widely understood in Norwegian media, research, and public discourse to denote careful, extensive analysis rather than shallow coverage. In translation, dyptgående can be rendered as “in-depth,” “thoroughly,” or “deep-going,” depending on the phrasing.
