fullfölja

Fullfölja is a Swedish verb that denotes carrying out a task, plan, or obligation completely, often with the sense of following through to the end. It can also mean to adhere to or comply with a rule, decision, or agreement in its entirety.

Usage of fullfölja is common in formal and semi-formal contexts. In legal and administrative language it describes implementing or enforcing requirements: for example, a government or agency may fullfölja ett beslut. In business and personal speech it is used to express fulfilling commitments: ett företag fullföljer avtalsvillkor, eller någon fullföljer sina löften.

Etymology is typically understood as a composition of the prefix full- meaning completely and the verb följa meaning to follow or adhere to. The combination emphasizes completing the intended course of action and meeting obligations fully.

Conjugation and forms are regular for Swedish verbs in the -a group. Present tense is fullföljer, past tense is fullföljde, and the supine/participle is fullföljt. The perfect tense is expressed with have/has as with other Swedish verbs, e.g., har fullföljt.

Compared terms include uppfylla (to fulfill or satisfy a requirement), genomföra (to carry out or implement), and fullborda (to complete a process or project). Fullfölja carries a nuance of thorough completion and strict adherence to an obligation or plan.
