indfører

Indfører is a present-tense verb form used in Danish to mean to introduce or to implement something, such as a rule, regulation, policy, or procedure. It denotes the act of bringing a measure into effect and making it part of a system or practice. The infinitive form is indføre. In Norwegian, the corresponding form is innføre, with the present tense innfører, and dialects or writing styles may show slight spelling variations. The term is primarily used in administrative, legal, and organizational contexts.

Etymology and relation to related terms: indfører comes from the prefix ind- meaning into or inward and the verb føre meaning to lead or bring. This construction conveys the sense of bringing something from outside into operation within a system. It is part of a family of Germanic verbs related to the English introduce and the broader concept of enacting or adopting new practices.

Usage and examples: In Danish you can encounter sentences such as, "Regeringen indfører en ny lov," meaning the government introduces a new law. In Norwegian you might hear, "Regjeringen innfører en ny lov," or more passively, "Loven innføres." The term is common in discussions of legislation, policy changes, institutional reforms, and the adoption of new technologies or procedures.
