ótrafært

Ótrafært is an Icelandic adjective that translates to "unbelievable," "incredible," or "extraordinary" in English. It is often used to describe something that is so surprising, impressive, or unusual that it seems hard to believe. The word is a compound of "ó-" (un-), "trú" (belief), and "fært" (possible or passable), literally suggesting something that is not believable or possible to believe.

The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from astonishing achievements and remarkable events to astonishing natural phenomena or even exceptionally fortunate circumstances. For example, one might describe a stunning sunset as ótrafært, or an athlete's incredible performance as ótrafært. It carries a sense of wonder and amazement, highlighting the exceptional nature of the subject.

While "unbelievable" and "incredible" are common English equivalents, ótrafært often carries a slightly more positive or awe-inspired connotation, emphasizing the astonishing and awe-inspiring aspect rather than mere disbelief. It implies a positive reaction to something beyond the ordinary.
