Omfangsfuld

Omfangsfuld is a Danish adjective used to describe something that has a large scope or extent, or that covers many aspects in detail. The term conveys a sense of breadth and thorough coverage, often applied to documents, analyses, plans, or discussions that aim to be all-encompassing rather than narrowly focused. In usage, omfangsfuld can imply both breadth and depth, and may carry a somewhat formal or literary tone.

Etymology and usage notes: The word is formed from omfang (extent, scope) combined with the suffix -sfuld, meaning "full of." It is most commonly found in formal or written Danish, including academic, administrative, or policy contexts. It is well suited to describe work that seeks to address a wide range of aspects, though it can also suggest that the material is lengthy or dense.

Synonyms and contrast: Close synonyms include omfattende (comprehensive) and omfangsrig (voluminous). Nuances differ: omfattende emphasizes broad coverage, omfangsrig stresses size or bulk, and omfangsfuld foregrounds both breadth and depth. Antonyms include kortfattet (concise), begrænset (limited), and ikke-omfattende (not comprehensive).

Examples: "Rapporten var omfangsfuld og detaljeret." "Projektplanen blev kritiseret for at være for omfangsfuld og vanskelig at implementere." These illustrate the idea of wide scope and substantial detail.
