utvelges

Utvelges is a Norwegian verb meaning to be selected or chosen from a larger group for a specific purpose, such as a role, position, or honor. It emphasizes the act of selection from among alternatives, rather than the act of proposing or voting for someone. The term is commonly found in formal or institutional contexts.

Etymology and form: Utvelges is formed from velges (to be elected or chosen) with the prefix ut-, which conveys “out” or “out of.” The word functions in the passive voice and is used to describe the result of a selection process. The noun form utvelgelse refers to the act of selection, while utvalgt or ble utvalgt is used for past tense constructions.

Usage and examples: Utvelges is typically used to indicate that someone or something has been selected. For example, in present tense: “Kandidater blir utvelgt til styret.” In past tense, Norwegian often uses ble utvalgt: “Kandidater ble utvalgt til styret.” The phrase “utvelges til” is common when specifying the purpose of the selection, such as a position, role, or task.

Related terms and contexts: Related words include velges (to be elected), utvalg (selection or committee), and utvelgelse (the act of selection). In everyday language, speakers may choose alternatives such as blitt valgt (has been chosen) or blitt utpekt (has been appointed) depending on nuance and context.
