uppfyllir

Uppfyllir is an Icelandic verb form meaning "fulfills" or "meets" and is the third-person singular present indicative form of uppfylla, the verb "to fulfill" or "to satisfy." It is used to indicate that a person, action, or process meets a stated requirement, condition, or expectation.

Etymology: The word combines upp- ("up" or "up to") with fylla ("to fill"), conveying the sense of bringing something up to a standard or requirement.

Usage: Uppfyllir governs a direct object that names what is being fulfilled, such as kröfur (requirements), skilyrði (conditions), or væntingar (expectations). The related noun uppfylling refers to the act or state of fulfillment, and the adjective uppfylltur describes something that has been fulfilled in some contexts.

Examples: "Hún uppfyllir öll skilyrði samningsins" means "She meets all the terms of the contract." The phrase "uppfylla kröfur" is common, as in "að uppfylla kröfur" (to meet the requirements).
