Talsverður

Talsverður is an Icelandic word that translates to considerable, significant, or substantial in English. It is an adjective used to describe something of a noteworthy amount, degree, or importance. The word can be applied to a wide range of contexts, indicating a magnitude that is not negligible.

For example, one might say that a person has made "talsverður framlag" which means a considerable contribution. Similarly, a company might report "talsverður vöxtur" indicating substantial growth. The term is often used to express that something is more than just a little, but not necessarily the largest or most extreme example. It suggests a level that warrants attention or recognition.

In terms of grammatical usage, "talsverður" is an adjective and thus agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies. Its common usage in everyday Icelandic conversation and formal writing underscores its utility in conveying a sense of significant scale or impact without requiring more specific quantification.
