reporting Explanation: The word "dragning" probably (my guess) derives from "föredrag" meaning lecture. The way it is used is typically when you verbally report or give an account of something in a semin-formal context, such as for example reporting on a matter to a Board of Directors. Reporting ought to cover all basis, with the caveat that a "dragning" is done verbally in person. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2019-05-12 15:10:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Dragning is "semi-formal", so it is quite natural to say "med" instead of "till" or "för". "med" here is synonymous with "inför", in English, just use "to". A dragning is usually made to peers or superiors, not like a lecture which is delivered to "inferiors". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2019-05-12 15:14:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And to answer your question, yes, it could probably be stretched to "discussions" but I would avoid unless there is something in the context really hints towards a discussion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2019-05-12 15:31:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A better alternative to "report" maybe would be "make a presentation". A couple of typical examples (which you've seen hundreds of times in movies And TV series) a person presenting quarterly sales figures or the ideas for a new marketing campaign to the company board. Or in crime series, when someone gives an account of the surveillance of a suspect to the police department. |

Talks / lectures / briefings Explanation: Or ... presentations. Somebody (here your context says 'managers') stands up in front of a group, committee, meeting and gives a pitch, talk, or lecture, briefing ... or presentation ... about a specific topic. This is kind of slangish but quite commonly used. |
