Overfyldte

Overfyldte is a Danish adjective meaning overfilled or jam-packed. It is the plural or certain feminine forms of the past participle from the verb overfylde, which means to fill beyond capacity. The basic past participle form for singular masculine or neuter is overfyldt, while overfyldte is used with plural nouns (and in some feminine contexts) in present usage.

The term is used to describe both physical spaces that have more occupants or content than they can reasonably hold and non-physical overloads, such as tightly scheduled timelines, forms, or systems that exceed their intended capacity. For example, a bus can be described as overfyldt if it carries more passengers than allowed, or a calendar can be called overfyldte if it has more events than can realistically fit.

In Danish, overfyldte often appears in contexts discussing crowding, resource constraints, or inefficiencies resulting from excessive filling. It can carry a neutral to negative tone, depending on the context, and is frequently paired with nouns like rum (rooms), busser (buses), skemaer (schedules), or formularer (forms).

Related terms include fylde (to fill), overfylde (to overfill), and overfyldning (overfilling or overfill). A close synonym in everyday Danish is tætpakket, meaning tightly packed. The term functions as an adjective describing a state rather than a deliberate action.
