When you're learning Norwegian, you'll come across words that help make your sentences sound more complete and correct. One such word is behørig.
You can use behørig when something is done in the right way or as it should be. Think of it like saying something is done "duly" or "properly" in English.
For example, if you're talking about following instructions, you might say someone followed them behørig, meaning they did it correctly.
It's a useful word for making sure your actions or descriptions are seen as appropriate and in line with expectations.
When you're learning Norwegian, you'll come across words that express a sense of correctness or doing something as it should be done. Behørig is one such word. It's often used to describe actions that are carried out properly, in due course, or in an appropriate manner. Think of it as ensuring things are done "the right way."
You might see it in contexts where instructions are followed carefully, or where something is handled with the necessary attention and formality. It adds a nuance of compliance and suitability to the action it describes.
When we say a word is CEFR B2, it means it's considered upper-intermediate. You can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in your field of specialisation. You can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Essentially, you're past the basics and can handle most everyday and even some more nuanced conversations and texts. Mastering B2 vocabulary like "behørig" helps you sound more natural and precise.
When using behørig, it often implies that something is done correctly, thoroughly, or in a manner that adheres to expectations or regulations. It carries a nuance of following established procedures or showing appropriate regard. You'll frequently encounter it in formal contexts, such as legal documents or official instructions, where precision and adherence to proper conduct are paramount. Think of it as ensuring everything is handled 'as it should be' or 'in due course'.

§ What does 'behørig' mean and when do people use it?
- Definition
- Duly, proper, or appropriate
Alright, let's talk about the Norwegian word 'behørig'. This isn't a word you'll hear in every casual conversation, but it's important to understand for more formal or official contexts. Think of it as meaning 'duly', 'properly', or 'appropriately'. It's about doing something in the correct, expected, or required manner.
When you see or hear 'behørig', it often implies that there's a certain procedure, standard, or expectation that needs to be met. It's about fulfilling obligations or acting in a way that is fitting for the situation. It's not a word you'd use to describe a casual action, like 'I duly ate my dinner.' That sounds a bit stiff, doesn't it? Instead, it's used when there's a sense of duty, correctness, or formality involved.
Consider these common scenarios where 'behørig' fits well:
- Official communication: When referring to documents, reports, or legal matters.
- Following instructions: When someone needs to perform a task according to specific guidelines.
- Professional conduct: Describing actions that are appropriate for a given profession or role.
- Formal requests: When asking for something in a respectful and correct way.
It's a B2-level word, meaning you're expected to understand and use it in more complex situations. Don't worry if it feels a bit formal at first. The key is to grasp the nuance of 'correctness' or 'appropriateness' that it carries.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer. Notice how in each case, there's an underlying expectation of how things should be done:
Vi har mottatt din søknad og vil behandle den behørig.
Here, 'behørig' means 'duly' or 'properly'. It assures you that your application will be handled according to the correct procedures, not just casually tossed aside.
Informasjonen må verifiseres behørig før den publiseres.
In this sentence, 'behørig' emphasizes that the information needs to be verified 'properly' or 'appropriately' before publication. It's not just a quick check, but a thorough and correct process.
Han fulgte protokollen behørig under møtet.
This example shows that he 'duly' or 'properly' followed the protocol. It indicates that he acted according to the established rules and procedures for the meeting.
So, while 'behørig' might seem a bit formal, it's a very useful word for expressing that something is done correctly, according to protocol, or in an appropriate manner. It adds a layer of precision and formality to your Norwegian, which is essential as you advance in your learning.
When submitting documents: Sørg for at alle skjemaer er fylt ut behørig før innlevering.
(Make sure all forms are filled out duly/properly before submission.) Regarding safety procedures: Alle ansatte må gjennomføre sikkerhetsopplæringen behørig.
(All employees must complete the safety training duly/as required.) In formal communication: Vi har behørig mottatt din søknad.
(We have duly received your application.) This means they've received it properly and acknowledged it.
About assignments: Husk å oppgi kilder behørig i oppgaven din.
(Remember to cite sources duly/properly in your assignment.) Regarding exams: Studenter må forberede seg behørig til eksamen.
(Students must prepare duly/adequately for the exam.)
About investigations: Saken vil bli etterforsket behørig av politiet.
(The case will be duly/properly investigated by the police.) This means the police will follow all correct procedures. Regarding official decisions: Myndighetene har vurdert forslaget behørig.
(The authorities have duly/properly considered the proposal.) This indicates they've given it the appropriate thought and attention. In legal contexts: Han ble behørig advart før han ble bøtelagt.
(He was duly warned before being fined.) Meaning he was warned correctly and sufficiently, as per regulations.
When giving instructions: Pass på at du lukker døren behørig når du går.
(Make sure you close the door properly/duly when you leave.)
Alright, let's talk about 'behørig'. It’s a useful word, but like many words that don't have a perfect one-to-one translation, it can trip up English speakers. The key is understanding its nuance of 'duly', 'properly', or 'appropriately'. Here are some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
§ Mistake 1: Overuse or Misapplication
Many learners tend to overuse 'behørig' or apply it in contexts where a simpler, more direct adverb would be better. Remember, 'behørig' implies a certain formality or adherence to a standard, rule, or expectation. It's not just a general intensifier for 'well' or 'correctly'.
- Incorrect usage example
- Jeg har behørig spist frokosten min. (I have duly eaten my breakfast.)
This sounds very unnatural. Unless there was a strict rule about eating breakfast, 'behørig' doesn't fit. You'd simply say:
Jeg har spist frokosten min. (I have eaten my breakfast.)
§ Mistake 2: Confusing it with 'riktig' or 'korrekt'
While 'behørig' can sometimes overlap with 'riktig' (correct) or 'korrekt' (correct), they are not always interchangeable. 'Behørig' adds the layer of 'as it should be' or 'in the proper manner'.
- When 'behørig' is better
- Filmen ble behørig sensurert før den ble vist offentlig. (The film was duly censored before it was publicly shown.)
Here, 'behørig' implies that the censoring was done according to the rules or regulations. 'Riktig' or 'korrekt' would focus more on the accuracy of the censoring, not necessarily its compliance with procedure.
§ Mistake 3: Not recognizing its formal tone
'Behørig' often carries a somewhat formal or administrative tone. Using it in casual conversation can sound stiff. Think about when you'd use 'duly noted' or 'properly addressed' in English – it's usually in more formal contexts.
- Casual vs. Formal
- In conversation, you might say: "Har du lukket vinduet?" (Have you closed the window?) Not: "Har du lukket vinduet behørig?" (Have you duly closed the window?)
However, in a more formal context, like describing a procedure, 'behørig' is spot on:
Søknaden ble sendt inn behørig og i tide. (The application was duly submitted and on time.)
§ Mistake 4: Literal translation from English
Resist the urge to translate 'duly' directly into 'behørig' every time you see it in English. Consider the context. Often, a simpler Norwegian word or phrase will be more natural.
§ How to practice 'behørig'
- Read official documents, news articles, or formal reports in Norwegian. 'Behørig' appears more frequently in these contexts.
- Pay attention to phrases like 'behørig hensyn' (due consideration) or 'behørig informert' (duly informed).
- Try to replace it with simpler adverbs in your own sentences to see if the meaning is still conveyed without the added formality.
By understanding these common pitfalls, you can use 'behørig' more accurately and naturally. Practice will make it second nature. Lykke til!
When learning Norwegian, you'll encounter words that seem similar but have subtle differences in usage. 'Behørig' is one such word. Let's look at what it means and how it compares to other words you might be tempted to use in its place.
§ What does 'behørig' mean?
- DEFINITION
- Duly, proper, or appropriate. It often implies something is done in the correct, expected, or required manner, especially in formal contexts.
Think of 'behørig' as indicating that something is done 'as it should be' or 'as required by procedure/norm'. It's about correctness and adherence to standards.
Han fulgte behørig prosedyre. (He followed the proper procedure.)
Søknaden ble behandlet behørig. (The application was duly processed.)
§ 'Behørig' vs. 'riktig' (correct/right)
'Riktig' is a more general word for 'correct' or 'right'. While something 'behørig' is also 'riktig', not everything 'riktig' is necessarily 'behørig'.
- Riktig: Focuses on factual correctness, accuracy, or being morally right.
- Behørig: Focuses on adherence to a standard, procedure, or expectation, often with a formal or official nuance.
Det riktige svaret er 'ja'. (The correct answer is 'yes'.)
Here, 'behørig' wouldn't fit. You can't have a 'duly' answer in this context.
Du må fylle ut skjemaet riktig. (You must fill out the form correctly.)
You could potentially use 'behørig' here too if you're emphasizing following the official instructions: Du må fylle ut skjemaet behørig.
(You must fill out the form duly/as required.) The nuance changes slightly, focusing on adherence to procedure rather than just accuracy.
§ 'Behørig' vs. 'passende' (suitable/appropriate)
'Passende' is about suitability or being fitting for a particular situation or context.
- Passende: Focuses on suitability, appropriateness, or being well-matched.
- Behørig: Focuses on correct execution according to rules or expectations.
Det er ikke passende oppførsel. (That is not appropriate behavior.)
You wouldn't say ikke behørig oppførsel
unless there were a very specific set of rules or protocols for behavior that were not followed. 'Passende' is about social norms and general appropriateness.
Finn en passende gave. (Find a suitable gift.)
Again, 'behørig' wouldn't fit here. A gift isn't 'duly' or 'properly' found in this sense; it's about being suitable for the recipient.
§ 'Behørig' vs. 'ordentlig' (proper/thorough/neat)
'Ordentlig' can sometimes translate to 'proper', but it carries a broader meaning related to being neat, thorough, orderly, or decent.
- Ordentlig: Focuses on thoroughness, neatness, being well-organized, or generally decent/respectable.
- Behørig: Strictly about following correct procedures or expectations.
Han er en ordentlig mann. (He is a decent/proper man.)
Using 'behørig' here would sound very strange. A man isn't 'duly' or 'properly' a man in this sense.
Gjør jobben ordentlig. (Do the job properly/thoroughly.)
While you could potentially use 'behørig' here if the job has very specific, formal requirements, 'ordentlig' emphasizes doing a good, thorough job, not just following protocol.
How Formal Is It?
"Alle søknader må være behørig utfylt før fristen. (All applications must be duly completed before the deadline.)"
"Det er viktig å finne en passende løsning for alle parter. (It's important to find a suitable solution for all parties.)"
"Pass på at du gjør jobben skikkelig. (Make sure you do the job properly.)"
"Har du husket å gjøre leksene dine riktig? (Did you remember to do your homework correctly?)"
"Du må fikse det ordentlig, ellers faller det fra hverandre. (You have to fix it properly, otherwise it will fall apart.)"
Le savais-tu ?
The word 'behørig' shares roots with the English word 'belong', highlighting a historical connection in meaning related to what is fitting or appropriate.

- Han utførte oppgaven behørig. (He performed the task duly/appropriately.)
While 'behørig' is a valid word, it's perhaps a bit more formal than some other adverbs you might use. You'll definitely encounter it, especially in written Norwegian or more formal speech, but it might not be the absolute first word a native speaker reaches for in very casual conversation.
Both 'behørig' and 'riktig' can mean 'proper' or 'correct', but they have slightly different nuances. 'Riktig' often refers to something being factually correct or right in a general sense. 'Behørig' implies correctness in terms of procedure, duty, or what is expected according to a certain standard or rule. Think of 'behørig' as 'as it should be done'.
- Dette er riktig svar. (This is the correct answer.)
- Han fikk behørig varsel. (He received proper/due notice.)
Yes, depending on the context, you could use words like 'passende' (suitable, appropriate), 'korrekt' (correct), or 'skikkelig' (proper, decent). However, 'behørig' often carries that specific sense of something being done 'as required' or 'as it ought to be'.
'Behørig' is an adverb, not an adjective, in its most common usage. While it's derived from an old adjective, in modern Norwegian it typically functions adverbially, meaning it doesn't inflect for gender or number. It describes *how* something is done.
- Vi må behørig behandle søknaden. (We must properly process the application.) - Here, 'behørig' describes 'behandle'.
Not directly in the sense of a 'proper person'. You would use 'behørig' to describe an action performed *by* a person, or something *related* to a person that is done properly. For example, 'en behørig representant' (a proper/duly authorized representative) would be correct, but not 'en behørig person' to mean a proper individual in character.
'Behørig' comes from the Old Norse 'beheyriligr', meaning 'fitting' or 'belonging'. It's related to the verb 'å høre' (to hear), and in an older sense, 'å høre til' meant 'to belong to' or 'to pertain to'. So, 'behørig' suggests something that rightly belongs or pertains to a situation or rule.
Yes, absolutely. 'Behørig' is quite common in legal, administrative, and official language because it conveys the idea of something being done in accordance with regulations, procedures, or due process. You'll often see it in documents and formal communications.
The pronunciation is roughly 'bay-HUR-rig'. The 'be-' part is like 'bay' in English. The 'hø-' is similar to the 'hur' in 'hurry' but with a slightly softer 'r' sound at the end, and the 'i' in '-rig' is like the 'i' in 'sit'.
