oppgi

Oppgi is a Norwegian verb meaning to provide or specify information that is requested or required. It is commonly used for giving data such as names, addresses, contact details, or sources. The word is formed from the prefix opp- and gi (to give) and is primarily used in formal or administrative language.

In practice, oppgi often appears on forms and in guide texts as an instruction. For example, “Vennligst oppgi navn og adresse” translates to “Please provide your name and address.” The term can also function in contexts where a value is recorded, as in “den oppgitte prisen” meaning “the stated price” or “the price that has been given.”

Usage notes and range: Oppgi conveys the act of supplying information rather than explaining or informing in a general sense. For broader or qualitative information, other verbs such as opplyse or informere might be used. The word appears in both written and official Norwegian, and its passive or adjectival forms (such as oppgitt) are common when describing information that has been supplied.

See also: opplysninger, kilde, pris, form (in contexts related to supplying data, sources, or values).
