معنی
To explain or describe something clearly.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Norwegian schools, 'Gjør rede for' is the most feared phrase on an exam. It signals that a 'yes/no' answer is not enough; you must demonstrate deep understanding and structure. Norwegian workplace culture is egalitarian, but 'gjøre rede for' is used to maintain professional boundaries and ensure everyone is on the same page regarding facts. The Norwegian 'Ombudsmann' system relies on the ability of citizens and officials to 'gjøre rede for' their grievances and decisions clearly. NRK (the national broadcaster) uses this phrase daily. It is part of the 'Dagsrevyen' vocabulary, used to introduce complex political segments.
Use in Essays

Preposition Trap
Never say 'gjøre rede OM'. It is always 'FOR'. This is a classic test question for C1 exams.
