inntreffer

Inntreffer is a term used in Norwegian and other Scandinavian languages to denote an occurrence, event, or match within a system, dataset, or process. The word combines inn- meaning "in" or "within" with treff meaning "hit," "meeting," or "match," conveying the sense of something that happens or is encountered. In technical contexts such as information retrieval, logging, quality control, and epidemiology, inntreffer is used to refer to the number of times a specified outcome is observed or a query yields results.

In practice, reports may present antall inntreffer or inntreffer per time unit to quantify events, hits, or matches. The term is relatively specialized and its exact usage can vary by region and field, and it is not universally standardized across Norwegian dialects or neighboring languages. In many contexts, more common terms such as forekomst (occurrence), hendelse (event), or treff (hit) may be preferred.

Related concepts include treff, hendelse, and forekomst, as well as domain-specific terms in information retrieval, telemetry, and statistics. Because of its regional and domain-specific nature, readers encountering inntreffer should consult local style guides or domain glossaries to ensure correct usage.
