Pólitískri

Pólitískri is the feminine singular dative form of the Icelandic adjective pólitískur, meaning political. It is used to modify a feminine singular noun in the dative case.

In Icelandic, adjectives inflect for gender, number, and case. The form pólitískri appears before feminine singular nouns when the noun is in the dative case or when a preposition governs the dative. This pattern is common for strong adjectives in this grammatical slot.

Examples of usage include phrases such as í pólitískri ræðu, meaning "in a political speech," and við pólitískri umræðu, meaning "in regard to a political discussion" or "with a political discussion," depending on the preposition and context. These constructions illustrate how the ending -ri marks the feminine singular dative form of the adjective.

The related base form pólitískur is used for masculine singular nouns, and pólitískt for neuter singular nouns. The adjective shares its meaning with the English word political and is derived from the noun politika through Icelandic adjective formation and declension.
