verbaliserar

Verbaliserar is a Swedish verb meaning to express something in words or to articulate it. It denotes the act of turning thoughts, information, or emotions into spoken or written language. The term is used across everyday language as well as in psychology, education, and linguistics to describe the process of making abstract content explicit through language.

Grammatical note: Verbaliserar is the present tense form of a regular -era Swedish verb. It is used with all persons in the present: jag verbaliserar, du verbaliserar, han/hon verbaliserar, vi verbaliserar, ni verbaliserar, de verbaliserar. The past tense is verbaliserade and the supine is verbaliserat.

Usage: The verb is commonly used to describe actors speaking about thoughts or feelings, e.g., “She verbalizes her concerns at the meeting” or “The patient is encouraged to verbalize their fears.”

Etymology: The Swedish verb is a borrowing from the English verb “to verbalize” or the French “verbaliser,” formed as part of a pattern of creating verbs from nouns or adjectives by adding the -era suffix. It is closely related to the noun “verbalization.”
