nyttiggjøres

Nyttiggjøres is the present passive form of the Norwegian verb nyttiggjøre, meaning to utilize, to make use of, or to exploit resources, information, or opportunities. The word is formed from nyttig (useful) and gjøre (to make or do) and is used mainly in formal or technical contexts.

In usage, nyttiggjøres describes something being put to use by someone. It can take an agent with av, as in dataene nyttiggjøres av forskerne (the data are utilized by the researchers). The reflexive form nyttiggjøre seg av is common when the subject benefits from its own resources, for example bedriften nyttiggjør seg av lokale tilbud (the company makes use of local offers). The nuance is generally neutral to positive, though in some contexts synonyms like utnytte may carry a stronger sense of exploitation.

Common collocations include å nyttiggjøre seg av en mulighet, å nyttiggjøre data, and å nyttiggjøre kunnskap. The present passive form is nyttiggjøres, while the past passive is typically expressed as ble nyttiggjort in Norwegian. The term is used across Norwegian Bokmål (with minor stylistic variations) and is often found in administrative, academic, and business writing.

In English, the closest translations are to utilize or to make use of; depending on context, it can also be rendered as to exploit. The choice between nyttiggjøre and related terms like utnytte depends on the desired tone and nuance.
