personlege

Personlege is a Norwegian adjective form meaning personal or relating to a person. It is the plural form of the basic adjective personleg and is used to describe nouns referring to individuals or private matters. The word derives from the noun person with the suffix -leg, which creates adjectives that express characteristic or relation.

In usage, personlege appears in compounds and phrases such as personlege opplysningar (personal information) and personlege eigenskapar (personal characteristics). It is commonly found in nynorsk texts and in contexts where nynorsk-style inflection is used; in bokmål, corresponding forms may differ due to Danish influence, but personlege remains widely understood in Norwegian writing.

The term is frequently encountered in discussions of privacy, personal data, and individual attributes. It serves to distinguish private or individual aspects from public or collective ones, and it is used across formal and informal registers to describe what concerns or pertains to a specific person.

In related Norwegian vocabulary, personlege sits alongside terms for privacy and personal information, such as personal data, personal information, and personal characteristics, helping to specify the scope of what is private or individual in discourse.
