nøyaktig

Nøyaktig is an adjective in Norwegian that translates to "exact" or "precise" in English. It is used to describe something that is accurate, correct, or free from error. For example, "nøyaktig tid" means "exact time," and "nøyaktig måling" refers to a precise measurement. The term is often used in scientific, technical, and mathematical contexts to emphasize the importance of accuracy. In everyday language, "nøyaktig" can also be used to describe something that is very close to the truth or very similar to something else. For instance, "Det var nøyaktig det jeg mente" means "That was exactly what I meant." The adjective "nøyaktig" is derived from the verb "nøyaktiggjøre," which means "to make exact" or "to make precise."
