färdiga

Färdiga is a Swedish adjective meaning ready or finished, used to indicate that something is completed or prepared. It is the plural form of färdig; the singular inflections are färdig (en färdig uppgift) and färdigt (ett färdigt projekt). In definite form, the adjective takes the corresponding endings: den färdiga uppgiften, det färdiga arbetet, de färdiga uppgifterna, de färdiga arbetena.

Common usage includes describing products, plans, and tasks that have been completed and are ready for use or distribution: färdiga produkter, färdiga planer, färdiga byggnader. In sentences, färdiga typically appears before the noun, as with most Swedish adjectives, or after a linking verb: Produkterna är färdiga.

Examples:

- Vi har färdiga planer för nästa kvartal.

- De färdiga produkterna finns i lagret.

- Det färdiga arbetet lämnades in i morse.

Notes:

Färdiga is widely used in everyday Swedish in both Sweden and Finland Swedish. It should not be confused with verb phrases formed from färdigställa or färdigställning, which convey the act of finishing; färdiga is an adjective, not a stand-alone verb, and does not function as a verb.

Etymology:

The adjective färdig dates to older Swedish and is related to the basic sense of being prepared or completed, forming the modern plural färdiga in contemporary Swedish.
