prestationer

Prestationer is a noun used in several Scandinavian languages, most often Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, to denote performances, achievements, or the act of delivering a service. The term originates from the French word prestation and has been incorporated into these languages with related meanings.

In general usage, prestationer can refer to:

- Achievements or performances, such as results in sports, arts, or academics.

- The fulfilment of an obligation or the delivery of a service or good in a contractual context; in law and everyday speech, a prestasjon (or its plural) denotes what one party is obliged to perform.

- Outputs or services provided by an organization or public authority, including the provision of services or other deliverables, though country-specific terminology may vary.

Spelling and variants: the word appears in different Nordic spellings that reflect each language’s orthography. Swedish typically uses prestationer, Norwegian uses prestasjoner, and Danish uses præstationer. Despite minor spelling differences, the core sense remains the same: performance, fulfilment, or delivery.
