organiserte

Organiserte is the past tense form of the Norwegian verb organisere, meaning to organize, arrange, or coordinate. It is used to describe actions completed in the past, such as organizing a meeting, a club, or a project. The form is common in Bokmål and Nynorsk. The present tense is organiserer, and the past tense is organiserte. The verb follows regular conjugation patterns: jeg organiserte, du organiserte, han/hun/den/et organiserte, vi organiserte, dere organiserte, de organiserte. The corresponding past participle, used with have/has in perfect tenses, is organisert.

Organisert, the past participle, functions as an adjective meaning “organized.” It is used to describe a completed state, as in et organisert system or en organisert innsats. In constructions with have/has, you would say for example Vi har organisert et møte.

Etymology and related forms: organisere comes from French organiser, ultimately from Latin or Greek roots related to arranging parts into a whole. In other Scandinavian languages, cognates exist with similar meanings but different spellings: Danish organiserede and Swedish organiserade.

Usage notes: Organiserte is standard in written Norwegian for past actions of organizing. In contrast, the adjective form organisert describes a state of being organized. Norwegian speakers also use synonyms or phrasing such as sette i gang for some contexts, but organiserte remains the common verb form for past organizing actions.
