tilsette

Tilsette is a Norwegian term with multiple related meanings, used as both a verb and a noun in different contexts. As a verb, å tilsette means to hire or appoint someone to a position. It can also mean to add something to another substance, such as seasoning or ingredients. The standard conjugation in Bokmål includes the infinitive å tilsette, present tilsetter, past tilsatte, and supine tilsatt.

As a noun, tilsett (sometimes seen in the form tilsette) can refer to a person employed by an organization, especially in formal or public-sector contexts. The noun usage is common in discussions of employment, staffing, or administrative processes, where employees are described as tilsetten/tilsett without specifying individual names.

Etymology and related concepts: Tilsette derives from the sense of "to set" or "place," combining til- (to) with sette (to put or place). The verb sense of appointing aligns with placing someone into a role, while the additive sense comes from the broader idea of placing something into a mixture.

Usage and context: In written Norwegian, tilsette is most often encountered as a verb in professional or administrative writing. The noun form is used when referring to staff or employees in a general sense. Related terms include ansettelse or tilsetting, both referring to the act of employment or appointment.
