kommentarer

Kommentarer is the plural form of kommentar in Swedish, Norwegian Bokmål, and Danish, meaning remarks, notes, or commentary about a text, as well as the comments posted by readers on digital content. The singular form is kommentar.

In publishing and scholarship, a kommentar may be an explanatory note, a critical commentary, or an editorial remark appended to a document or edition. In everyday language, it refers to a remark, opinion, or annotation about something.

In online media, kommentarer are user-generated remarks attached to articles, videos, or posts. Platforms commonly regulate kommentarer to balance freedom of expression with concerns about misinformation, harassment, or defamation.

Etymology: the word derives from Latin commentarius meaning commentary or annotation, via French commentaire and related Germanic forms; cognates appear in many European languages.
