planlegg

Planlegg is the imperative form of the Norwegian verb planlegge, meaning to make a plan or to arrange in advance. The word is used in both Bokmål and Nynorsk as a direct instruction to undertake planning, such as creating a schedule, organizing steps, or preparing for a goal.

Etymology and formation: planlegg is a compound derived from plan (a plan) and legge (to lay or put). This reflects a common Norwegian pattern for verbs that describe preparation and organization. As an imperative, planlegg is commonly found in instructions, checklists, and guidance material, where a speaker or writer asks the reader to plan something.

Usage: Planlegg appears in everyday language and formal contexts alike. Examples include: Planlegg budsjettet før prosjektstart. Planlegg reisen i god tid. In education, business, and civic planning, the form is used to prompt action and set priorities for forthcoming tasks or events.

Morphology: planlegge forms include planlegger (present indicative), planla (past), and planlagt (participle). Planlegg specifically signals a command or invitation to act, rather than a description of a current or completed action.

See also: planlegging, planlegge. Note that there is no widely known organization or product universally identified by the name Planlegg; when capitalized in text, it is usually treated as the imperative form or, if used as a brand, as a proper noun.
