Begrenzingen

Begrenzingen is the Dutch term for limitations or boundaries. The singular begrenzing denotes a limit, boundary, or constraint. The verb begrenzen means to set a limit or bound. The word is used across many domains to indicate that something has restricting borders or conditions.

In everyday usage, begrenzingen describe limits on resources, actions, or possibilities, often to preserve safety, feasibility, or fairness.

In mathematics and science, begrenzing refers to boundedness or constraints: a quantity that cannot exceed a bound; in optimization, a constraint defines a feasible region; in physics, boundary conditions constrain a system.

In law and policy, begrenzingen denote legal or regulatory restrictions, such as quotas, licenses, or prohibitions.

In technology, limits on data usage or access are described as begrenzingen; API rate limits are constraints that cap calls per unit time.

Dutch nuance: Begrenzing emphasizes the boundary that encloses or limits, while beperking stresses a restriction or deprivation; limiet is a more general "limit."

The term is common in Dutch texts across fields, often without translation, but with context indicating whether it is a physical boundary, a legal rule, or a mathematical constraint.
