tarvik

Tarvik is a Norwegian noun meaning equipment, gear, or supplies needed for a particular task or activity. The term emphasizes individual items or components rather than an entire system of equipment, and it is commonly used alongside utstyr (equipment) and verktøy (tools).

Usage and contexts: The word appears in many everyday and professional contexts, including outdoor activities, construction, electronics, crafts, and hobby markets. It covers both spare parts and accessory items, such as cables, fasteners, lures, or carabiners, that complement larger equipment.

Relation to other terms: Tarvik is often used when referring to specific items or add-ons rather than the whole setup. In some contexts it is preferred for parts or accessories, while utstyr may refer to broader equipment; verktøy focuses on tools for working tasks. In compound forms, tarvik appears in phrases like fisketarvik (fishing tackle) or byggtarvik (building hardware).

Examples by domain: Camping tarvik include a kettle, rope, and a flashlight mount; fishing tarvik include hooks, lines, and lures; electronics tarvik include cables, adapters, and connectors. Manufacturing and repair contexts may refer to spare tarvik such as seals or gaskets.
