udfyldelse

Udfyldelse is a Danish noun derived from the verb udfylde, meaning to fill out or fill up. The term denotes the act or result of filling something with content, form, or data. It can refer to physically filling a container, as well as more abstract processes such as populating fields in a document or a database.

In practical use, udfyldelse is common in administrative and information-handling contexts. For example, the udfyldelse of electronic forms involves entering required information into designated fields. In data processing and record management, udfyldelse describes the process of populating records with data. The concept is also encountered in logistics or inventory work when referring to filling up stock or filling a space with items, though other terms like påfyldning or opfyldning may be used depending on the context.

The term is often contrasted with opfyldelse, which more typically expresses the fulfillment or completion of requirements, obligations, or conditions. While both udfyldelse and udfyldning can be used for the act of filling, udfyldelse emphasizes the content or data being filled, whereas opfyldelse emphasizes meeting a standard or completing a larger objective.

Synonyms and related terms include udfyldning and påfyldning, with opfyldelse as a related concept in the sense of fulfilling duties or conditions. In practical Danish usage, the choice among these terms depends on whether the focus is on the action of filling, the result, or the broader notion of fulfillment.
