fuldt

Fuldt is a word used in Danish and Norwegian to express degree, meaning fully or completely. In Danish, fuldt functions as the adverbial or neuter form of the adjective fuld, which means full. In Norwegian Bokmål, the corresponding adverb is typically spelled fullt, while the base adjective remains full or full.

Etymology and forms: Fuldt and fullt derive from the same Proto-Germanic root as English full. They are used to intensify or quantify a state and appear in a variety of compounds and phrases in the two languages. Spelling differences reflect standard Danish versus Norwegian Bokmål conventions, with Danish generally using fuldt and Norwegian using fullt in similar contexts.

Usage and examples: In Danish, fuldt ud is a common construction meaning completely or fully, as in Jeg er fuldt ud enig (I am fully/ totally agree) or Jeg er fuldt ud tilfreds med resultatet (I am fully satisfied with the result). The term also appears in nouns describing work arrangements, such as fuldtidsarbejde or fuldtidsjob, referring to full-time work. In Norwegian, fullt is used similarly, for example in Jeg er fullt ut enig (I agree completely) and i fulltidsjobb (in a full-time job). The forms are also found in compounds describing duration or extent, such as fulltid/fuldtid meaning full-time.

See also: fuld (the base adjective meaning full), fuldtidsarbejde (full-time work), fulltidsjobb (full-time job), fulltid (Norwegian/Danish equivalent terms for full-time). The usage of fuldt and fullt is largely contextual, tied to standard spelling conventions of Danish and Norwegian.
