oversiktig

oversiktig is a Norwegian adjective that translates to "overview," "survey," or "general view" in English. It describes something that is broad in scope, encompassing many different aspects or details without necessarily going into deep specifics. When used to describe a report or a discussion, it implies that the subject matter has been covered comprehensively, but perhaps at a high level. It can also refer to a general or superficial examination of a topic. The term suggests a wide-ranging perspective rather than a focused, detailed analysis. In essence, something oversiktig provides a birds-eye view, allowing one to grasp the main features and relationships within a larger context. It is often contrasted with a more in-depth or detailed examination. For example, an oversiktig gjennomgang of a book would touch upon its main themes and plot points without analyzing individual passages in great detail.
