fullførte

Fullførte is the preterite (simple past) form of the Norwegian verb å fullføre, meaning to complete or finish. It is used to describe actions that were completed at a definite time in the past and serves as the finite verb in past-tense clauses.

Examples of usage include: Jeg fullførte oppgaven i går. De fullførte prosjektet forrige uke. These sentences illustrate how fullførte denotes that the action of completing happened in the past.

Grammatical notes: The past participle form is fullført and is used with auxiliary verbs to form perfect tenses, such as har fullført or hadde fullført. The present tense is fullfører, and the infinitive is å fullføre. The word fullføring functions as the noun for the concept of completion or finishing.

Usage considerations: Fullførte is common in both formal and informal Norwegian, particularly in narrative or reporting contexts where past completed actions are described. Because it is a finite verb form, it agrees with its subject in person and number according to Norwegian conjugation rules, while the simple past form itself does not distinguish singular from plural in isolation.
