Nýbreytingar

nýbreytingar is Icelandic for new changes, amendments, or revisions to something that existed previously. The word is the plural form of nýbreyting, itself a compound of ný- meaning "new" and breyting meaning "change." It is a formal term often used in politics, law, administration, and public discourse to describe alterations to laws, regulations, constitutions, or official documents, as well as updates to policies or procedures.

In use, nýbreytingar denote changes introduced to legal or regulatory frameworks, sometimes through legislative processes in parliament or government bodies. They can also refer to revisions in organizational rules, contracts, or public programs. The term carries a sense of formal approval or codification, rather than casual edits.

- Nýjar breytingar á skattalögum voru samþykktar af Alþingi.

- Í hugbúnaðarútgáfu 2.1 voru gerðar nýjar breytingar.
