rapportert

Rapportert is the past participle of the Norwegian verb rapportere, meaning to report or to bring information back. In Norwegian, it is used both in finite tense forms (har rapportert, hadde rapportert) and as an adjective meaning “reported” or “as reported.”

The form rapportert is a regular past participle in Bokmål and Nynorsk, formed from rapportere with the -t suffix. It can be used attributively before a noun or predicatively with the verb, and it generally agrees with the noun in number and definiteness as a standard Norwegian adjective.

Usage examples illustrate its dual function. Attributive: “de rapporterte tallene” (the reported numbers); “et rapportert resultat” (a reported result). Predicative use: “Tallene er rapportert av myndighetene” (the figures have been reported by the authorities). In sentences describing sourcing, one can say “Ifølge de rapporterte tallene…” to refer to figures presented in a report. The past participle also appears in compound tenses: “har rapportert,” “hadde rapportert,” indicating completed reporting actions.

Clarification and related terms: rapportert should not be confused with rapport (a report) or with rapporterende/rapporterende (the act or process of reporting). The word is common in journalism, statistics, and scientific literature when information is attributed to a source or described as issued in a report.
