óvelkomnum

The word "óvelkomnum" is an Icelandic adjective. It is the dative plural masculine/neuter form of the adjective "óvelkominn." "Óvelkominn" translates to "unwelcome" or "not welcome" in English. The prefix "ó-" is a negative prefix in Icelandic, similar to "un-" in English. Therefore, "óvelkominn" literally means "not welcome."

The grammatical form "óvelkomnum" specifically indicates that the adjective is being used in a dative case, plural number, and masculine or neuter gender. This means it would modify a noun that is plural, masculine or neuter, and is in the dative case. For example, it could be used in a sentence like "Þeir voru óvelkomnum gestum" which translates to "They were unwelcome guests." Here, "gestum" (guests) is in the dative plural masculine case, and "óvelkomnum" agrees with it.

The concept of being "unwelcome" can apply to various situations, such as people arriving at a place where their presence is not desired, or events or circumstances that are not favorably received. The specific grammatical inflection in Icelandic provides precise information about the noun it modifies within a sentence.
