"for venstre" må i så fall være "til venstre" Det skrives altfor mye "for" av oversettere der det skal være "til"
Bjørnar Magnussen Nov 3, 2020:
Per is correct "for venstre og høyre hånd" is a better suggestions
Per Bergvall Nov 3, 2020:
Kapphendt Bjørnar burde gjenopprette dette som sitt svar. Det handler om hansker, og hanskene "passer" på venstre og høyre hånd - det blir rart å si at de kan betjenes av venstre og høyre hånd. Jamhendt går også mer på brukeren enn på gjenstanden - kanskje bør vi BARE si "for venstre og høyre hånd"?
Libertyco (X) (asker) Nov 3, 2020:
This term refers to the medical gloves which means suitable for both left and right hand.
So if possible give me the term in Norwegian and add in Norgegian suitable for both left and right hand.

ambidextrous - suitable for both left and right hand.

Thank you in advance
Svein Hartwig Djaerff Nov 3, 2020:
ambidextrous This word has so many meanings that you need to give a context. Originally it means a person that can use both hands equally good to perform tasks, but now it's used from anything from being bi-sexual to being ", dyktig, upålitelig, falsk, skikket, urett", with 180 degrees different meaning;)

Universal passform høyre/venstre

"Universal fit right/left"
I think this is easy to understand and complies with standard expressions for medical gloves
Example sentence:

kirurgihansker med universal passform høyre/venstre

Note from asker:
