tillåte

Tillåte is not a standard word in modern Swedish or Norwegian. In practice, it may appear as a misspelling or typographical error for tillåtelse, meaning permission, or as an attempt to render the infinitive tillåta, “to permit.” Because standard Scandinavian orthography does not include tillåte as a separate word, it is not listed as a separate entry in most dictionaries.

Etymology and related forms: The underlying verb is tillåta, formed from till- (toward, to) and låta (to let). The common noun forms are tillåtelse in Swedish and tillatelse (or tillatelse) in Norwegian, both meaning permission or authorization. These standard forms are widely used in legal, administrative, and everyday contexts.

Usage and interpretation: When encountered, tillåte is typically considered a nonstandard form and is usually corrected to tillåtelse or tillåta in edited texts. In some dialect writings or older texts, regional spellings or orthographic variants may occur, but there is no distinct, widely recognized meaning attached to tillåte apart from its relation to the standard terms for permission.
