Opgaver are the Danish plural form of the noun opgave, meaning tasks, assignments, or chores. They describe activities that must be completed to reach a goal and can appear in educational, professional, or everyday contexts.

In education, opgaver are commonly assigned as coursework, essays, problem sets, or projects. They are used to assess knowledge and skills and typically come with guidelines, criteria, and deadlines. Opgaver can be completed by individuals or by groups, and their evaluation often contributes to final grades or outcomes.

In work settings, opgaver refer to duties and tasks assigned to employees. Managers break work into opgaver and subtasks, often with priorities, deadlines, and resource considerations. Task lists and project plans, whether in paper form or via digital tools, help organize work, monitor progress, and allocate time and effort effectively.

In mathematics and science, an opgave is a problem or exercise to be solved. The expression løse opgaven means to solve the task, and such opgaver are common in exams, textbooks, and practice materials.

Variants and related terms include hjemmeopgave for homework and other context-specific uses of the word. Opgaver are a flexible and broad concept, encompassing routine chores, academic assignments, professional duties, and problem-solving exercises across Danish-speaking settings.
