fremskaffer

Fremskaffer is a Danish verb meaning to procure, obtain, or bring forward something that is needed, often through effort, arrangement, or research. It is used in formal or semi-formal contexts such as business, administration, law, and research to describe the act of obtaining materials, information, documents, or permissions.

The word is formed from frem- (forward, forth) and skaffe (to obtain, to procure). The standard present tense form is fremskaffer; the past tense is fremskaffede; the supine and past participle are fremskaffet and fremskaffet, respectively. The noun fremskaffelse denotes the act of procuring or the procurement itself.

Usage notes include that fremskaffer often implies deliberate effort, planning, or coordination, rather than spontaneous availability. It can appear with direct objects such as oplysninger (information), materialer (materials), udstyr (equipment), or tilladelser (permits). In regulatory or bureaucratic language, fremskaffer is commonly used to describe how an entity obtains required resources or data for reporting, compliance, or project execution.

Related terms include fremskaffelse (procurement or the act of obtaining) and fremskaffet (procured). The concept is parallel to similar verbs in other Scandinavian languages, such as Swedish framanskaffa or Norwegian fremskaffe, though usage and form may vary by language.
