ekskluderer

Ekskluderer is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Norwegian verb ekskludere. Ekskludere means to exclude or to prevent someone or something from participating, belonging, or being included. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object (the person or thing being excluded) and a complement indicating what is being excluded from (for example, a group, event, or activity). It is commonly used in contexts such as organizations, clubs, schools, and policy discussions.

Etymology and usage context

The Norwegian ekskludere is a loanword derived from the Latin excludere, likely via French exclure or English exclude. In contemporary Norwegian it appears in formal and semi-formal discourse, often related to rules, eligibility, or disciplinary action. The term carries a neutral to negative connotation, depending on context, and is often contrasted with more neutral or inclusive terms such as fjerne (remove) or utelukke (omit or preclude).

Grammatical notes

The verb forms include jeg ekskluderer, du ekskluderer, han/hun ekskluderer (present tense). Simple past is ekskluderte, and present perfect uses ekskludert (har ekskludert). Passive constructions exist, such as deltaker blir ekskludert (the participant is excluded). The word is typically used with concrete targets (en deltaker, et medlem) and with phrases like fra møtet, fra klubben, eller fra programmet to indicate the exclusion’s scope.
