uppfylli

Uppfylli is a term found in several Nordic languages, primarily Icelandic and Norwegian, used to denote the act or state of fulfilling a requirement, obligation, or expectation. In legal, administrative, and organizational contexts, uppfylli describes the completion or satisfaction of conditions established in contracts, regulations, or project plans. The concept corresponds to common English terms such as fulfillment or compliance and is often expressed through related noun forms such as uppfylling, uppfyllelse, or uppfyllelse, depending on language.

Etymology and sense: The term shares roots with verbs meaning to fill or to satisfy and is built from elements meaning “up” or “towards completion” and “to fill.” In Nordic usage, uppfylli and its cognates connote meeting the terms of an agreement or the criteria of a standard, rather than merely starting work or making progress.

Usage: In official documents and technical writing, uppfylli is used to denote that conditions have been met. It appears in discussions of contract fulfillment, regulatory compliance, and the achievement of project milestones. The exact form and preferred usage vary by language and jurisdiction, and speakers may use corresponding cognates or compounds to convey the same idea.
