Intakt

Intakt is a German adjective meaning intact, undamaged, or complete. In everyday German, it is used to describe objects, systems, or conditions that retain their integrity, for example, "Der Schaden ist intakt geblieben" (the structure remains intact) or "Die Ohren sind intakt" (the hearing is intact). It can describe physical objects, biological systems, or documents and plans. The term is widely used in medical, technical, and everyday contexts and can be paired with negations such as "nicht intakt" to indicate damage.

In addition to its general use, Intakt is the name of a Swiss record label, Intakt Records, devoted to jazz and improvised music. The label has released works by many noted European and international improvisers and has contributed to the development of the European avant-garde jazz scene. The label's catalog includes experimental and improvisational performances across a range of styles, from free jazz to contemporary improvised music.

The word is likely used in German-speaking contexts as a straightforward translation of the English "intact." However, as a proper noun, Intakt carries its own branding and identity separate from the general adjective, particularly in the music industry.
