interagera

Interagera is a Swedish verb meaning to interact, to engage in reciprocal action or communication between people, systems, or objects. The term is used in everyday language as well as in technical and academic contexts, particularly in discussions of user interfaces, social interaction, and human-computer interaction.

Etymology and origin: The verb is borrowed into Swedish from French interagir, with roots in Latin inter- (between) and agere (to act). In Swedish, the infinitive form is interagera and it follows regular -a verb conjugation patterns.

Conjugation (base forms): Infinitive interagera; present interagerar; past tense interagerade; supine interagerat; imperative interagera.

Usage notes: Interagera is typically used with the preposition med to indicate with whom or what one interacts (for example, interagera med en användare or interagera med externa enheter). It is common in both social contexts and technical descriptions, such as describing how a program interagerar with hardware or how people interagera med nya teknologier.

Examples:

- Forskare studerar hur människor interagerar med ny teknik.

- Programvaran interagerar med externa enheter genom USB-svarportar.

Related terms: interaktion (interaction), kommunikation (communication), användargränssnitt (user interface). In other Scandinavian languages, cognates exist (for example Norwegian interagere and Danish interagere), but the Swedish infinitive remains interagera.
