Auðveldara

Auðveldara is an Icelandic word meaning “easier” or “more convenient.” It is the comparative form of auðvelt (easy) and is used to indicate that one option or action is easier than another. In everyday Icelandic, auðveldara can function as either an adjective in the comparative degree or as an adverb in comparative constructions.

Grammatical usage follows the standard Icelandic comparative pattern. It is employed in sentences that compare two possibilities, often with the conjunction eða or with the word en meaning “than.” The common construction is er auðveldara than or en auðveldara. For example, þú kannt að gera verkefnið auðveldara en hitt verkefnið, translated as “you can do the task more easily than the other one.”

Common meanings and contexts include practical ease, efficiency, and convenience. The form is widely used in education, work, technology, and daily life when contrasting options, methods, or approaches. Because Icelandic adjectives and adverbs share the same comparative form in many contexts, auðveldara frequently appears before an infinitive to describe how an action can be performed more easily, as in it is easier to study with videos or to learn for a test when practicing regularly.

Related terms include auðvelt, the base form meaning easy, and auðveldastur as the superlative form meaning “easiest.” See also phrases built around comparison and ease in Icelandic usage.
