Fullföra

Fullföra is a Swedish verb meaning to carry something through to completion or to realize, accomplish, or bring to an end. It denotes finishing a task, project, plan, or action by performing all necessary steps until the result is achieved. The sense is often contrasted with merely starting or proposing something; fullföra emphasizes successful completion.

The verb is formed with the prefix full- meaning “completely” and föra meaning “to carry/bring.” It is used with objects such as uppgift (task), projekt (project), plan (plan), or idé (idea) to indicate completion. In usage, one might say: “Hon lyckades fullföra sitt projekt” or “De arbetade för att fullföra planen.” It implies competence, persistence, and a definitive end state.

In relation to similar verbs, fullföra is often likened to avsluta (to finish) and genomföra (to carry out/execute), though each carries a slightly different emphasis: avsluta focuses on the end point, genomföra on execution of steps, and fullföra on achieving completion. The conjugation follows standard Swedish verb patterns, and tense is determined by context.
