Fuldførte

Fuldførte is the simple past tense form of the Danish verb fuldføre, which means to complete, to carry out, or to fulfill. It is used to describe actions that were finished at a point in the past. The corresponding present tense form is fuldfører, and the past participle used in perfect tenses is fuldført, as in han har fuldført projektet (he has completed the project).

Etymology and meaning: fuldføre is a compound verb formed from fuld (full) and føre (to carry, to bring). The sense developed to mean carrying a task through to its completion or meeting a goal. The word is common in formal and informal Danish, including business, education, and administrative contexts.

Conjugation and forms: For Danish verbs, fuldføre follows standard patterns. Present: fuldfører. Past: fuldførte. Past participle: fuldført, used with have or be to form perfect and passive constructions, e.g., projektet er fuldført (the project is completed) or de fuldførte opgaver (the tasks completed). The past tense form fuldførte is independent of person or number in standard Danish.

Usage notes: Fuldførte is a precise, formal option for stating that a task or project was completed. In some contexts, synonyms such as gennemførte or afsluttede may be used, depending on nuance or regional preference. The term is widely understood in Danish-speaking regions and appears in official reports, press releases, and everyday communication.
