Grænar

Grænar is the feminine plural form of the Icelandic adjective grænn, meaning green. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns in the language.

In Icelandic, adjectives decline to reflect the gender and number of the nouns they modify. Grænar corresponds to feminine plural nouns in everyday use, and it appears in both indefinite and definite noun phrases in standard syntax.

Examples of usage include grænar plöntur (green plants) and grænar hendur (green hands). Another common pairing is grænar tölvur (green computers), since tölva is a feminine noun and tölvur is its feminine plural form.

Grænar is not a separate noun or entity; it is an inflected form of the adjective grænn. Its meaning is determined by the noun it modifies, and it can describe color in literal or figurative contexts, such as describing vegetation, objects, or metaphorical green-related concepts.

Etymology traces grænar to grænn, the Icelandic word for green, with the feminine plural ending attached to agree with the noun. The form is part of standard Icelandic grammar and is commonly encountered in descriptive writing and everyday speech. See also grænn for the masculine singular form and grænt for the neuter singular form.
