Alþjóðlegur

Alþjóðlegur is an Icelandic adjective meaning international or multinational, describing things that involve or relate to more than one nation or to the wider world. It is commonly used for organizations, agreements, events, and processes with international scope.

The term is formed from alþjóð, meaning the world or international community, plus the suffix -legur. It has masculine singular form alþjóðlegur, feminine alþjóðleg, and neuter alþjóðlegt, and it is declined like other Icelandic adjectives to agree with gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Common usages include alþjóðlegur samningur (international agreement), alþjóðleg stofnun (international organization), alþjóðlegt samstarf (international cooperation), and alþjóðlegt fyrirtæki (international company). In legal contexts, alþjóðarréttur is a standard term referring to international law. The word appears across politics, business, academia, and media, and is often found in official terminology such as government reports, NGO materials, and coverage of global affairs.
