Fyrirframgefna

Fyrirframgefna is an Icelandic compound adjective meaning “pre-provided” or “pre-given.” It combines fyrirfram, meaning “in advance,” with gefna, the past participle of gefa, “to give.”

It is used to describe information, terms, or resources that are supplied before they are needed, rather than produced on demand. In technical, legal, and administrative writing, fyrr framgefna emphasizes that certain elements are fixed in advance. Common collocations include fyrirframgefna gögn (data provided in advance) and fyrirframgefna skilmálar (predefined terms).

Grammatical notes: as a participial adjective, fyrrframgefna inflects like other Icelandic adjectives depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. In everyday Icelandic, the term appears primarily in formal or specialized contexts; outside those contexts it is relatively rare.
