koordinerar

Koordinerar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb koordinera, meaning to bring elements into proper relation, align actions, schedules, or resources so that they work together toward a common goal. The term is commonly used in management, logistics, event planning, and teamwork, but also appears in biology and medicine when referring to the coordination of processes or care.

Etymology and usage: The verb is descended from Latin ordinare (to order) with the prefix co- meaning “together,” via French coordonner and the English form coordinate. In Swedish, it developed into koordinera and its inflected forms, such as koordinerar.

Grammar and forms: Infinitive koordinera; present koordinerar; past koordinerade; supine koordinerat (used in perfect constructions); present perfect with har koordinerat. Imperative koordinera. Example: Jag koordinerar projektet, hon koordinerar logistiken och teamet koordinerar insatserna.

Contexts and nuance: Koordinerar often implies aligning actions of multiple actors or departments, while samordnar is commonly used for broader coordination and harmonization of resources. The noun forms include koordinering (the act of coordinating) and koordinativ relation in technical language. In practice, the verb appears in sentences like “Företaget koordinerar produktionen med leverantörerna” or “Vi koordinerar våra insatser för att undvika duplicering.”
