tilbyr

Tilbyr is a Norwegian verb meaning to offer or present something to someone. It is used to describe providing services, products, opportunities, or terms. In everyday and formal language, it appears in business, technology, and customer-facing contexts. For example: "Bedriften tilbyr rabatter" and "Tjenesten tilbyr flere funksjoner."

Etymology and related forms: tilbyr comes from the Old Norse verb tilbjóða (to bid or offer). It is cognate with Danish tilbyder and Swedish tillbjuder, all sharing the same Germanic root meaning to present or present existence. The noun form tilbud means an offer or a deal and is related to the verb through the same root.

Conjugation and usage: The infinitive is tilby. In present tense, forms include jeg tilbyr, du tilbyr, han tilbyr, vi tilbyr, dere tilbyr, de tilbyr. The simple past tense is tilbød, and the past participle is tilbudt. The passive voice is formed with ble tilbudt, as in a deal that was offered to customers. Tilby is a transitive verb and typically takes a direct object: "en tjeneste," "et produkt," or "en mulighet."

See also: Tilbud, the noun for an offer or deal, derived from the same root. The verb and noun appear frequently in consumer discourse, marketing, and service descriptions, where offering alternatives or opportunities is central.
