Alþjóðlegi

Alþjóðlegi is an Icelandic adjective meaning international or global and is used to describe things relating to multiple nations or cross-border contexts. In Icelandic, the root alþjóð- denotes the concept of nations or the international community, and the suffix -legur yields the adjective forms. The standard inflections include alþjóðlegur (masculine singular), alþjóðleg (feminine singular), and alþjóðlegt (neuter singular); the adverbial form is typically alþjóðlega.

Common usage includes alþjóðleg fyrirtæki (international companies), alþjóðleg samstarf (international cooperation), and alþjóðleg stofnun (international organization). The term appears in policy language, business discourse, education, and cultural contexts to indicate involvement beyond Iceland itself.

Although it is primarily a descriptive term, capitalized forms like Alþjóðlegi can occur in proper names or titles where the word is used as a name, but there is no single, universally recognized entity by that name in an international sense. If used as a place, organization, or brand, it would be a specific proper noun with added contextual qualifiers.
