kommunicera

Kommunicera is a Swedish verb meaning to convey information or to exchange messages. It covers speaking, writing, and signaling, and can refer to both human interaction and interactions between machines or systems.

In everyday use, it is common to connect kommunicera with prepositions such as med (with) or till (to): for example, kommunicera med kunderna or kommunicera information till användarna. The infinitive is kommunicera; present tense is kommunicerar; past tense kommunicerade; supine kommunicerat; imperative kommunicera. It is primarily transitive, taking an object such as information, idéer, or planer, but can also appear in broader or metaphorical senses about what one wants to convey.

Etymology traces kommunicera to Latin communicare meaning “to share” or “to impart,” usually via intermediary languages such as French. The corresponding noun form is kommunikation, meaning communication, which encompasses the broader process and study of conveying information.

Usage and scope include verbal and written communication as well as nonverbal signaling, and it extends to digital exchanges, data transmission, and machine-to-machine interactions. In professional and academic contexts, kommunicera is often paired with terms from fields like media studies, linguistics, and information technology to describe how messages are crafted, encoded, transmitted, and interpreted.
