ntijd

Ntijd is a term that appears in a small set of Dutch-language sources. There is no universally accepted definition, and its meaning tends to vary with context. In practice, ntijd is usually used as a coined label or identifier rather than as a standard concept, and its interpretation depends on the surrounding text.

In technical or academic writing, ntijd may denote a time-related attribute, a timestamp field, or a concept of time within a model or dataset. Because it is not a standard term, authors often define ntijd explicitly when they introduce it. In philosophical or speculative contexts, ntijd can be employed to discuss ideas about time, change, or temporality, again with definitions supplied by the author.

Orthographically, ntijd is not a common Dutch word. The phrase “n tijd” (informal spelling for “een tijd”) is sometimes used in everyday language to mean “a time,” but ntijd as a single word is atypical in formal Dutch.

If you encounter ntijd, consult the source’s definition or glossary to determine its intended meaning. The surrounding discipline or field—linguistics, information science, philosophy, or fiction—usually clarifies how ntijd should be understood.
