sättigende

Sättande is a Swedish term that can function as the present participle of the verb sätta, meaning to set or place, and as a noun referring to the act or process of setting or establishing something. In modern usage the standard spelling is typically sättande; the form settigende, with a different orthography, is not standard in contemporary Swedish but may appear in historical texts or in other languages with similar morphology. In everyday Swedish, the related noun for the action is often realized as sättandet or as the participle itself.

Etymology and formation: The form is built from the verb stem sätt- plus the participial suffix -ande, which in Swedish yields the present participle and functions as a verbal noun in many contexts. This allows sättande to be used attributively or as a subject or object referring to the act of placing, setting, or establishing something.

Usage in linguistics and grammar: In linguistic descriptions, sättande can denote the act of placing elements within a structure, such as the placement of focus, reference, or information in an utterance. For example, one might discuss the sättandet av fokus as the process by which emphasis is arranged within a sentence. The term can also appear in more general contexts to describe the act of establishing rules, standards, or configurations.

Note: The English word "satiating" meaning filling or satisfying hunger translates to Swedish as mättande or mättande i olika sammanhang, not as sättande. The term discussed here should not be confused with that sense. See also sätta; sättning; sättande in Swedish grammar references.
