vigtige

Vigtige is the Danish form used to express the sense of “important” in plural or as the definite neuter singular form of the adjective vigtig. In Norwegian Bokmål the cognate form is viktige, serving the same grammatical functions in plural and definite contexts. In both languages these forms modify nouns to indicate significance or necessity and can appear in attributive and predicative positions, though exact inflection varies by language.

In Danish, vigtighed follows a predictable pattern: the base form vigtig is used for indefinite singular common gender; vigtige is used for plural nouns and for the definite neuter singular (det vigtige). Examples include De vigtige ting kræver opmærksomhed (The important things require attention) and Det vigtige er at være forberedt (The important thing is to be prepared).

In Norwegian, the corresponding form is viktige. It is used for plural nouns and for the definite neuter singular (det viktige). Examples include De viktige spørsmålene må besvares (The important questions must be answered) and Det viktige er at vi gjør vårt beste (The important thing is that we do our best).

Overview notes: Vigtige, as a word, is primarily a grammatical form within Danish (and its Norwegian cognate viktige) meaning “important” in plural or definite contexts. It is not typically used as a standalone proper noun, though individual names or place names may occasionally adopt similar spellings in specific contexts. Related forms in other Nordic languages include the Swedish viktig and its plural viktiga.
