Fordómafullri

Fordómafullri is an Icelandic adjective used to describe attitudes, statements, or policies that are characterized by prejudice. Roughly translated as "full of prejudice" or "prejudiced," it is commonly employed to criticize biased views toward individuals or groups on grounds such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or nationality.

Etymology and form: The word combines fordómar (prejudices) with fullur (full). In Icelandic, adjectives decline with gender, number, and case, and fordómafullri is the form that appears in contexts involving a feminine noun in certain cases (for example, in the dative or genitive). The term thus adapts to grammatical context but retains the same core meaning.

Usage examples: The term is used in academic writing, journalism, and public debate to label biased or hostile rhetoric. Examples: "Skoðun hennar var fordómafull." "Afstaða þeirra var fordómafull gagnvart minnihlutahópum." These sentences illustrate the negative evaluation conveyed by the term.

Nuance and considerations: Fordómafullri carries a strong negative charge and can color the interpretation of a speaker or argument. While it is useful for calling out prejudice, it can also be perceived as a pejorative label; in some cases more precise descriptions of bias or prejudice may be appropriate.
