registrerende

Registrerende is a form of the Norwegian verb registrere, meaning to register. It functions as the present participle or verbal adjective, used to describe an ongoing act of registering or an entity that performs registration.

In administrative and legal language, registrerende is commonly used to modify nouns: for example, en registrerende myndighet (the registering authority) or registrerende organ (the registering body). It can indicate involvement in the act of registration rather than the state of having been registered, which would typically be expressed with registrert.

Grammatical notes: Registrerende behaves as an adjective and usually agrees with the noun in number. Examples include en registrerende person and registrerende personer. Like other participial adjectives, it can appear in attributive position before the noun and, less commonly, in predicative constructions within formal texts.

Origin and related terms: The form is derived from the verb registrere by adding the present participle suffix -ende. Related terms include registrering (registration) and registrert (registered).

Usage considerations: In everyday language, the past participle registrert is more common when indicating that something has already been registered. Registrerende is mainly found in formal, technical, or administrative contexts where the act of registering is being described or specified.
