utlevert

Utlevert is a Norwegian term that functions as the past participle of the verb utlevere, meaning to hand over or deliver. It is used both as a verb form in perfect tenses and as an adjective to describe something that has been delivered to a recipient or handed over to an authority. In everyday language it appears in contexts related to commerce and logistics, for example when goods or documents have been provided to a customer or recipient. In legal and administrative contexts, the related noun utlevering refers to the act of delivering or handing over, and can be used to describe transfers to authorities or to another jurisdiction.

Common usages include sentences such as “Varen ble utlevert til kunden i dag” (The goods were delivered to the customer today) or “Dokumentet ble utlevert av postbudet” (The document was handed over by the postal carrier). The form is versatile and appears in both transactional and formal language. In many cases utlevert functions as an adjective describing the state of possession or transfer, as in “utlevert materiale” (delivered material) or “utlevert til kontroll” (handed over for inspection).

Etymology and related terms: Utlevert derives from utlevere, with ut- functioning as a prefix meaning outward or away, combined with levere/leveve?re. It is cognate with Danish udlevere and Swedish utleverera. Related terms include utlevering (the act of delivering or handing over) and utleverbar, used in contexts describing items or information that are eligible for or subject to delivery.
