Tilteknað

Tilteknað is an Icelandic word that translates to "designated" or "specified" in English. It is derived from the verb "tiltekja," meaning to designate or specify. The word is often used in legal, administrative, and technical contexts to indicate that something has been chosen, set aside, or assigned for a particular purpose or by a particular authority.

For instance, in a legal document, a specific property might be tilteknað for a certain use, meaning it has been officially designated for that purpose. In administrative procedures, a deadline might be tilteknað, implying it has been formally set. In technical manuals, a particular component could be tilteknað to perform a specific function. The term emphasizes a conscious and official act of selection or assignment.
