invullen

Invullen is a Dutch verb meaning to fill in or fill out information on a form, document, or field. It can also refer to filling gaps or occupying time with activities. The word is built from the preposition in- and the verb vullen (to fill), and it is primarily used in administrative and data-entry contexts.

In everyday use, invullen describes entering data into forms or online portals, such as personal details, addresses, or survey answers. Examples include invullen van een formulier (filling in a form) and gegevens invullen (entering data). The action is transitive: iemand vult iets in. The present tense forms are ik vul in, jij/je vult in, wij vullen in; the past tense is vulde in, and the perfect tense is heeft ingevuld (de gegevens zijn ingevuld). The imperative form is vul in.

The term can also describe filling time or space, as in tijd invullen (to fill time) or een leegte invullen, meaning to occupy or complete something that was missing. In this sense, invullen is closely related to aan vullen (to add or complete) and invulling, the noun form referring to the act or result of filling in.

Common contexts include forms, registrations, surveys, and official paperwork, but the concept also appears in planning and scheduling when a slot or field must be completed. Overall, invullen is a central term for data-entry and completion tasks in Dutch.
