Uppfylltar

Uppfylltar is an Icelandic term originating from the verb uppfylla, meaning to fulfil or satisfy. It functions as a past participle used as an adjective to describe something that has been completed, met, or satisfied, such as requirements, conditions, or obligations.

In usage, uppfylltar appears in contexts where a noun is described as having had its criteria or promises met. Common collocations include uppfylltar kröfur (fulfilled requirements) and uppfylltar skilyrði (met conditions). The form can be used in formal or administrative language, particularly in legal texts, contracts, and official reports, where compliance or completion is emphasized.

The exact form uppfylltar is one of several inflected forms of the participle, and its appearance changes to agree with the noun it modifies. As such, it mirrors Icelandic’s broader system of adjective and participle agreement, and other forms of uppfylla- participles are used in different grammatical contexts.

Etymologically, uppfylltar combines uppfylla with a participial ending, reflecting its role as a descriptor of completed states rather than a standalone verb. This construction enables concise expressions of compliance, achievement of criteria, and fulfillment of duties within Icelandic discourse.
