öflugri

öflugri is an Icelandic comparative adjective meaning “more powerful” or “more influential.” It is formed from the base adjective öflugr (powerful) with the comparative suffix -ri. The form öflugri is used to modify nouns and agrees with the gender and number of the noun in accordance with standard Icelandic adjective inflection.

Etymology and forms: öflugr comes from the same root that yields a family of words related to power and capability. The comparative öflugri is the common form in masculine and feminine singular contexts; other inflections follow regular Icelandic grammar rules for adjectives and can differ for neuter, plural, and definite constructions.

Usage and nuance: öflugri is used when comparing levels of power, capacity, or influence. It is common in discussions of technology (computers, systems, or tools), politics, business, or strategy. It conveys not just strength but the potential or effectiveness of something. Examples include: “Tölvan er öflugri en fyrri útgáfa” (The computer is more powerful than the previous version) and “Kerfið hefur verið öflugri í nýrri uppfærslu” (The system has been more powerful in the new update).

As a term, öflugri is primarily a descriptive adjective in ordinary Icelandic. It is not typically used as a proper noun, and there is no widely known entity universally identified simply as “Öflugri.” See also related forms öflugr, öflugasti, and other comparative adjectives in Icelandic grammar.
