omsätter

Omsætter is a Danish verb meaning to convert, transform, or realize something by turning it into another form or into action. It is used in several senses, including transforming concepts into practical outcomes, translating a plan into action, or converting goods or values into a different form of value such as money. In business and economics, the verb often conveys moving products through the market or turning stock into revenue.

In a commercial context, omsætter is used to describe the activity of selling goods or exchanging goods for money. For example, a company may omsætte varer (move or sell goods) to customers, or a business can omsætte assets into cash. The noun corresponding to this idea is omsætning, commonly translated as turnover or revenue, which denotes the total value of goods and services sold by a company in a given period.

In a broader sense, omsætter can describe implementing or realizing plans, i.e., to translate a concept or intention into concrete actions. This usage is akin to turning an idea into practice or writing a plan into operation.

Important note: omsætter is not the Danish verb for language translation. For translating text from one language to another, Danish uses oversætte, not omsette. The term omsætning should not be confused with words related to translation; it refers to turnover, sales, or monetization rather than linguistic rendering.
