partnere

Partnere is the plural form of partner in Norwegian Bokmål and Danish, used to refer to more than one partner in various kinds of relationships. The term can denote business collaborators, members of a partnership, or romantic partners, depending on context. It functions as a common noun and is widely used in professional, legal, and everyday language.

In both Norwegian and Danish, partnere is the indefinite plural form, while the definite plural is partnerne. The singular form is partner. For example, in Norwegian you might say “Vi har tre partnere i prosjektet” (We have three partners in the project), and in Danish “Firmaet samarbejder med to partnere” (The company collaborates with two partners).

Etymology and usage context: partnere is a loanword adapted from the English word partner, which in turn derives from French and Latin roots related to sharing or taking part. In Scandinavian languages, the term covers a range of cooperative relationships, from commercial partnerships to personal partnerships, and the exact sense is usually clarified by surrounding words.
