nøyakk

nøyakk is a Norwegian word that translates to "accurate" or "precise" in English. It is commonly used to describe something that is exact, correct, or free from error. The word can be applied to a wide range of contexts, including measurements, descriptions, statements, and actions. For instance, a scientist might strive for nøyakk measurements in an experiment, or a historian might aim for a nøyakk account of past events. The concept of nøyakk implies a high degree of fidelity to the truth or to a specific standard.

In everyday conversation, nøyakk can be used informally to indicate that something is exactly as expected or described. For example, if someone asks "Is the bus arriving soon?" and the response is "Yes, it's nøyakk on time," it means the bus is arriving precisely at the scheduled time. The word emphasizes the absence of deviation or approximation. It is a fundamental concept in fields requiring meticulous attention to detail and reliability. The opposite of nøyakk would be "unøyaktig," meaning inaccurate or imprecise.
