indføring

Indføring is a noun used in Danish (and with cognate forms in Norwegian) to denote the act of bringing something into use, place, or understanding, or the process of introducing something to people. It is formed from the verb indføre (to bring in or introduce) plus the -ing suffix that marks an action or process. In Danish, indføring appears mainly in formal or technical language.

The term is versatile and appears across several domains. In education and training, an indføring refers to an introductory phase or course that presents the basics of a subject, such as an indføring i et fag. In organizational and technological contexts, it describes the rollout or implementation of a new system, technology, or policy, for example indføring af en ny teknologi. In economic and customs language, indføring can mean the bringing of goods into a country, i.e., import or entry of items, though other terms may be used in contemporary practice for import.

In Norwegian, the corresponding concept is typically innføring, which carries similar meanings of introduction and implementation. The choice between forms often follows regional spelling conventions and the specific register of the text.

Overall, indføring conveys the idea of initiating, introducing, or enabling something to enter a wider setting, whether a subject to be learned, a technology to be used, or goods to be brought into a jurisdiction.
