innstilles

Innstilles is a Norwegian word used as the present passive form of the verb innstille, meaning to set, adjust, or configure something. The prefix inn- with still(e) carries the sense of placing or arranging something into a configured state. The form innstilles appears in sentences where a setting is being applied or adjusted, often by a system or by a person.

In everyday and technical usage, innstilles is commonly found in contexts involving devices, software, or administrative processes. For example, a clock or a software program can have its time or parameters innstilles automatically, or a technician can innstille a device to a standard value. The phrase is typically used in passive constructions, such as “klokken innstilles automatisk av systemet” (the clock is set automatically by the system), or “innstillingene innstilles til standardverdien” (the settings are configured to the standard value). While it is a verb form, it can appear in manuals, specifications, and descriptions of configuration procedures.

Related terms include innstilling, the noun for a setting, and innstillinger, the plural form referring to multiple settings. The concept is central to discussions of configuration, calibration, and optimization across hardware and software, where precise and repeatable states are required. Overall, innstilles denotes the act of establishing a configured state rather than the state itself.
