innkalles

Innkalles is a Norwegian verb form meaning "is summoned" or "is called in." It functions as the present passive form of innkalle, the verb used to summon someone to attend a meeting, inquiry, court proceeding, or other formal event. The term appears in legal, administrative, and organizational texts where attendance is required.

The word derives from the prefix inn- meaning inward or into, combined with kalla, to call. It is part of a family of related terms in Norwegian, including innkalling, the noun for a summons or notice, and innkalt, the past participle meaning summoned. The form innkalles signals that the subject is recipients of a summons in the present tense.

Usage in sentences typically centers on formal or official contexts. For example, vitnene blir innkalt til avhør (the witnesses are summoned for questioning). Partiet blir innkalt til høring (the party is summoned to a hearing). The phrase dommeren innkaller vitnene illustrates the active usage, where the actor issues the summons.

Innkalles is primarily encountered in Norwegian law, government notices, and corporate or organizational communications. It is less common in casual speech, where simpler verbs for inviting or requesting attendance may be used. See also innkalling (summons) and innkalt (summoned).
