Gennemført

Gennemført is a Danish adjective and the past participle form of the verb gennemføre, meaning to carry out or to complete. It denotes that a task, project, study, or process has been carried out to completion and is thus finished or fully implemented.

Grammatical usage is straightforward: as an attributive adjective it typically appears before the noun, for example et gennemført projekt or en gennemført undersøgelse; in plural form, gennemførte projekter and gennemførte undersøgelser are common. In predicative use, the phrase is built with the verb er, as in projektet er gennemført.

Etymology-wise, gennemført is formed from the prefix gennem- meaning through or completely, combined with føre (to lead) or the concept of carrying through. The sense has evolved from “carried through” to simply “completed” in many contexts.

Usage and context: the word is common in formal and technical language, including project reports, evaluations, audits, and educational or organizational assessments. It is used to describe outcomes or results that have been fully implemented or finished. It can refer to trials, studies, programs, or plans that have been executed to their end, and it often carries a neutral or factual tone.

Related terms include the noun gennemførelse (the completion or implementation process) and related adjectives such as gennemførlig/gennemføeligt (feasible or doable) in contexts contrasting possible versus completed outcomes.
