kommunisere

Kommunisere is a Norwegian verb meaning to communicate: to convey information, thoughts, or feelings between people or groups. It covers spoken, written, and nonverbal exchange, as well as transmitting messages through media, technology, or signals. The word is cognate with Danish kommunikere and Swedish kommunicera, and ultimately derives from Latin communicare, via the Nordic languages.

Conjugation and usage: In Bokmål Norwegian, present tense is kommuniserer; past tense kommuniserte; supine is kommunisert, and the perfect tense is har kommunisert. The present participle is kommuniserende, and the passive is kommuniseres. The phrase å kommunisere with someone is common: å kommunisere med kolleger, med venner, eller med en bredere målgruppe. The verb can take a direct object (what is communicated) and may be followed by a clause that reports content. It can describe both interpersonal exchange and transmission through media or technology.

Context and notes: The noun form is kommunikasjon, used widely in education, business, psychology, and media studies to refer to the process or result of sharing meaning. In Norwegian discourse, kommunisere often emphasizes mutual understanding and audience adaptation. Related terms include kommunikasjon, kommunikasjons-, and the English cognate to reference in multilingual contexts. The concept encompasses a range of modes, from face-to-face conversation to digital messaging, and is central to studies of language, media, and communication practice.
