Aðgengilegum

Aðgengilegum is the dative plural form of the Icelandic adjective aðgengilegur, which means accessible, available, or easy to reach. The form is used when the noun it describes is in the dative case and appears in plural. In practice, aðgengilegum is found in phrases that refer to accessible things in contexts such as physical infrastructure, digital media, or information; for example, með aðgengilegum gögnum (with accessible data/documents) or aðgengilegum lausnum (accessible solutions).

Grammatical notes: Icelandic adjectives decline to agree with the noun in case, number, and gender. Aðgengilegum is the common dative plural ending for the adjective when describing plural nouns in the dative case. It commonly accompanies nouns in phrases related to accessibility, usability, or availability, especially in formal or policy-related language. Other inflected forms of the same adjective include aðgengilegur (masculine nominative singular), aðgengileg (feminine nominative singular), and aðgengilegt (neuter nominative singular).

Usage and context: The concept of accessibility (aðgengi) is widely applied in public planning, design, and information technology. Icelandic discourse on aðgengi often appears in discussions of universal design, digital accessibility standards, and inclusive information dissemination. Phrases using aðgengilegum typically describe plural, dative-bearing nouns such as gögnum (data), lausnum (solutions), tækjum (devices), or leiðbeiningum (guidance) when those nouns are part of a longer prepositional or adjunct phrase.
