utbetales

Utbetales is the present passive form of the Norwegian verb utbetale, meaning to disburse or pay out money. It describes the act of funds being released by an organization to a recipient. The construction is commonly used in financial and administrative contexts to indicate that payments are being made, rather than focusing on the payer.

In practice, utbetales appears in notices and statements about scheduled or automatic payments. A standard example is lønn utbetales den 25. hver måned, meaning wages are paid out on the 25th of every month. The term also appears in discussions of pensions, social benefits, dividends, refunds, and other transfers of value from a payer to a beneficiary. The corresponding noun is utbetaling, with utbetalinger in the plural.

Grammatically, utbetales is the passive present form, which shifts emphasis from who pays to the act of payment itself and the recipient. The related phrase utbetalingsdato refers to the date on which funds are paid out. While utbetales focuses on the action, utbetaling denotes the disbursed amount or the payment event as a concept.
