Spöruðum

Spöruðum is an Icelandic word that translates to "we threaded" or "we sewed" in English. It is the past tense, plural form of the verb "að spyrra," which means to thread or to sew. The verb "að spyrra" itself is derived from the noun "spori," meaning a thread or a stitch.

The word spöruðum would be used in sentences describing an action performed by a group of people in the past. For example, one might say "Við spöruðum saman tölurnar á blússunni," which means "We sewed the buttons onto the blouse together." Similarly, "Þau spöruðum garnið í gegnum nálaraugu," translates to "They threaded the yarn through the needle's eye."

The concept of threading and sewing is fundamental to many crafts and industries, and the Icelandic language reflects this with specific verbs and their conjugations. Spöruðum, therefore, represents a specific instance of this action carried out by multiple individuals at a past time. The word's usage is straightforward within the grammatical structure of Icelandic, indicating a completed action by a plural subject.
