integrerte

Integrerte is a Norwegian term with dual use as both a verb form and an adjective. As a verb, integrerte is the past tense of å integrere, meaning to combine elements into a cohesive whole or to incorporate something into a larger system. As an adjective, integrerte is the plural form of integrert, meaning “integrated” when describing plural nouns, for example integrerte løsninger or integrerte systemer.

Etymology and usage context: the word derives from the Latin word integer, meaning whole, and has entered Norwegian through the general technical vocabulary for integration. In contemporary Norwegian, the verb å integrere and related nouns are common in technology, business, education, and public administration, where components or processes are brought together to function as a unified unit.

Nuance and morphology: integrerte is used when referring to multiple integrated items or when the past tense is required for the verb form in narrative contexts. The singular past participle form is integrert (e.g., et integrert system), while integrerte is used with plural nouns or in contexts requiring the past tense form. Common collocations include integrerte løsninger, integrerte systemer, and integrert undervisning, though the latter may more often use integrert in singular or plural agreement depending on context.

See also: integrasjon (integration), integrert system, integrated circuit. Related verbs include inntegrere (to embed) and samordne (to coordinate), which describe related processes of combining or aligning elements into a unified whole.
