Framkvæmt

Framkvæmt is an Icelandic past participle and adjective derived from the verb framkvæma, meaning to carry out, perform, or execute. It is used to describe actions, tasks, or processes that have been completed or implemented. In English, framkvæmt is typically translated as “carried out,” “performed,” or “executed.” The term is common in formal, technical, and administrative Icelandic.

Etymology and related forms: Framkvæmt comes from framkvæma, which combines the prefix fram- (forward, forth) with a root related to making or accomplishing. The noun framkvæmd refers to the act or result of carrying out an operation, plan, or policy, and is closely related to the participle framkvæmt in usage.

Usage notes: Framkvæmt most often appears in passive constructions, as in verkefnið var framkvæmt samkvæmt áætlun (the project was carried out according to the plan). It can also function as an attributive modifier, as in framkvæmt verkefni (carried-out project). In everyday Icelandic, framkvæma and framkvæmd are common alternatives when the emphasis is on the action or process rather than the result.
