Oplagt

Oplagt is an adjective used in Danish to describe a person who is in a good mood, enthusiastic, or ready to take part in an activity. It signals willingness to engage and can apply to individuals as well as groups or teams that appear prepared and motivated. In Norwegian, the cognate form opplagt is used with the same general meaning.

In Danish, oplagt is commonly paired with phrases such as til at to indicate readiness to perform a task. Examples include: “Efter frokosten var jeg oplagt til at fortsætte mødet,” and “Er du oplagt til at gå en tur?” In Norwegian, opplagt is used similarly to express eagerness or readiness, as in “Han var opplagt til å gå en tur” or “Hun var opplagt til å begynne prosjektet.”

Etymology and regional notes: The term belongs to the North Germanic language family and has closely related forms in Danish and Norwegian, with slight spelling differences reflecting each language’s orthography. It is more common in spoken language and informal to semi-formal contexts; in formal writing, speakers may opt for synonyms like klar or villig.
