fremsettes

Fremsettes is a form of the Norwegian verb fremsette and is used to indicate that something is presented, stated, or submitted in formal contexts. The word generally appears in a passive or impersonal construction, signaling that an act of presenting is being performed by someone or by a body.

Etymology and form: Fremsette combines the idea of moving forward with setting forth or presenting. The present passive form -settes marks the action as something that is being presented by an agent, without naming the agent. The infinitive fremsette means to present or put forward; fremsettes therefore translates roughly as “is presented” or “is put forward” in English.

Usage: Fremsettes is common in parliamentary, legal, academic, and media language. It is used to attribute the act of presenting a proposal, claim, or argument to a person or body. Examples include: “Forslaget fremsettes av komiteen i innstillingsdokumentet” and “Kravet fremsettes av partiet under debatten.” In practice, writers may prefer active forms like fremmes or presentere in less formal contexts, but fremsettes remains standard in formal minutes and reports.

Related terms: The noun fremsettelse denotes the act of presenting. Related terms include fremlegg (in parliamentary language) and forslag (proposal) itself, which are often part of the same discourse when describing how ideas are brought forward.
