Tilgreint

Tilgreint is an Icelandic adjective and past participle form of the verb tilgreina, meaning to indicate, name, or specify. It describes something that has been named, cited, or specified in a preceding text, list, or formal statement. In English, it is often translated as “as indicated” or “as specified.”

Grammatically, tilgreint is the neuter singular form used when it modifies a neuter noun, but it also appears in other gender-number combinations as the past participle of tilgreina. It is common in technical, legal, and academic writing to mark items whose details have been provided earlier, for example tilgreint magn (specified quantity) or tilgreint atriði (specified items).

Usage examples include: “Tilgreint magn er 100 einingar.” and “Í skýrslu eru tilgreind atriði sem þarf að staðfesta.” These constructions show how tilgreint functions to reference information that has already been stated or enumerated in the document.

See also: tilgreina, tiltekin, tilgreining. Tilgreint communicates a sense of information that has been explicitly named or identified in a given context, often to aid clarity and precision in formal writing.
