Fyldt

Fyldt is a Danish adjective meaning filled or stuffed. It is the past participle form of the verb fylde, which means to fill. In Danish usage, fyldt describes something that has been placed inside or added to until it reaches capacity, and it is used both in culinary contexts and more generally to denote fullness.

In cooking, fyldt is commonly used to describe dishes where an ingredient is stuffed with a filling. Examples include fyldt kylling (stuffed chicken) and fyldte peberfrugter (stuffed peppers). The word can also appear in other culinary phrases to indicate that a pastry, mushroom, dumpling, or other item has been prepared with a filling.

Beyond food, fyldt can describe objects or spaces that have been filled to capacity. For instance, a container can be fyldt, or a schedule can be described as fyldt when no more items can be added. The form agrees with the noun it modifies and can appear in different inflected forms, such as fyldt (singular neuter) or fyldte (plural or masculine/feminine depending on context) in compound phrases.

Etymology-wise, fyldt derives from the Danish verb fylde, which in turn traces back to older Germanic roots for the concept of filling. The term has cognates in other Scandinavian languages, such as Swedish fylld and Norwegian fylld or fylt, reflecting shared linguistic origins.
