Mögulegri

Mögulegri is a grammatical form in Icelandic. It is the feminine singular dative form of the adjective mögulegur, which means “possible” or “feasible.” Icelandic adjectives decline for gender, number and case, and the ending -ri is typical of the feminine singular dative in many adjectives of the strong declension. Therefore mögulegri appears when the noun it modifies is feminine and in the dative case, such as in phrases where the noun is the indirect object or follows a preposition that governs the dative.

In ordinary modern usage, this form occurs in contexts where a feminine noun is in the dative singular. It is one member of the broader Icelandic adjective paradigm and will align with other cases and numbers of mögulegur as the noun changes.
