íslenzkir

Íslenzkir is the genitive plural form of the Icelandic word "íslenskur," which translates to "Icelandic." This grammatical form is used to indicate possession or belonging related to Iceland or its people. For example, "íslenzkir rithöfundar" would mean "Icelandic authors." The adjective "íslenskur" itself is derived from the word "Ísland," meaning Iceland. The use of the genitive plural "íslenzkir" is common in various contexts when referring to multiple Icelandic entities or individuals. It is an integral part of Icelandic grammar, functioning similarly to how possessive plural adjectives or phrases are used in other languages. The spelling "íslenzkir" reflects an older orthography; the modern spelling is "íslenskir," though both are understood and sometimes seen. The adjective describes anything originating from, relating to, or characteristic of Iceland.
