Ónákvæmra

Ónákvæmra is an Icelandic word that translates to "inaccurate" or "imprecise" in English. It is used to describe something that is not exact, true, or correct. This can apply to a wide range of contexts, from factual statements to measurements and descriptions. For example, one might say that a report contained ónákvæmra data if the figures presented were not entirely correct. Similarly, a description of an event could be considered ónákvæm if it omitted key details or presented them in a misleading way.

The word is formed from the prefix "ón-" meaning "un-" or "not," and the adjective "nákvæm," which means "accurate" or "precise." Therefore, ónákvæmra literally signifies a lack of accuracy or precision. It is a common term in everyday Icelandic conversation and writing when discussing the reliability or correctness of information. Its usage highlights the importance of precision and truthfulness in communication.
