indbyggede

Indbyggede is a Danish adjective formed from the verb indbygge, meaning to build in or embed. The term describes elements that are integrated into a larger system or structure, rather than being removable or separate components. The form indbyggede is used for plural nouns (or when the adjective appears in a manner that requires a plural ending). The corresponding singular form is indbygget.

The concept is widely used across fields such as architecture, interior design, electronics, and software. In housing and furniture, built-in or indbyggede features are those that are permanently installed, such as cabinets, shelves, or lighting that are fixed into walls or ceilings. In electronics and appliances, indbyggede components are parts that are permanently incorporated into devices, like built-in ovens or built-in speakers. In software, indbyggede funktioner refer to features that are included as part of the program rather than added later.

Grammatical notes: indbyggede is the plural form of the past participle used as an attributive or predicative adjective. For singular usage, the form indbygget is typical when describing a single item. In some contexts, indbygget can be used synonymously with integrated or embedded, while indbyggede emphasizes plurality.

See also: integreret, fast installeret, built-in, embedded. The term is common in technical, architectural, and design documentation and is translated into English as “built-in” or “embedded,” depending on context.
