Magtfuld

Magtfuld is a Danish adjective meaning powerful, influential, or possessing substantial power. It is used to describe people, institutions, or phenomena that wield significant authority or capability.

Etymology: The term is a compound of magt (power) and fuld (full). The sense is “full of power.” Cognates exist in other Scandinavian languages, such as Norwegian maktfull and Swedish maktfull, and the English word powerful shares a related concept.

Usage: Magtfuld is used in neutral to formal contexts to denote strength of influence or capability. It can describe political power, corporate influence, or military strength, and its connotation can be positive, neutral, or critical depending on context. The adjective typically precedes the noun it modifies, and can also appear in predicative position after a linking verb, as in “regeringen er magtfuld.” The word is versatile in descriptive writing and political commentary.

Examples: en magtfuld regering (a powerful government) and en magtfuld virksomhed (a powerful company) illustrate common usages. In practice, it often appears in discussions of authority, governance, security, or organizational impact.
