tillgodoses

Tillgodose is a Danish verb meaning to satisfy or fulfill someone's needs, wishes, or demands; to accommodate or comply with a request or requirement. It is commonly used in public administration, customer service, and management to describe actions taken to provide what is necessary or desired for individuals or groups.

The verb is typically used with nouns such as behov (needs), krav (requirements), and ønsker (wishes). In practice you may encounter the infinitive tilgodose and the corresponding present forms such as tilgodoses or tilgodeser in sentences. The form tilgodoses is the passive or third-person singular present.

Etymology: The term combines til (to) with a root meaning to satisfy or indulge; it has been part of Danish usage for centuries and remains common in formal and bureaucratic language.

Usage notes: Tillgodose emphasizes active provision and accommodation rather than mere acknowledgement. It is closely related to synonyms such as opfylde (to fulfill) and imødekomme (to accommodate or meet). In official contexts, organizations say they will tilgodese citizens' or customers' needs, ensuring services or decisions align with expectations.
