Tæknilegra

Tæknilegra is the Icelandic comparative form of the adjective tæknilegur, meaning more technical or more technologically oriented. It is used when comparing the degree of technical content, sophistication, or reliance on technology between two or more things, such as explanations, systems, methods, or products.

Etymology and form: The base tæknilegur is built from tækn-i (technology) with the adjectival suffix -legur, giving a meaning of related to technique or technology. The comparative form tæknilegra is used to indicate that one thing is more technical than another. In practice, the word appears in technical writing and discussion where a higher level of detail or complexity is being contrasted.

Usage: Tæknilegra typically describes documents, explanations, interfaces, or processes that involve greater technical content. For example, Þessi útskýring er tæknilegra en sú fyrri translates to “This explanation is more technical than the previous one.” The term is common in academic, engineering, and IT contexts, where precise language about complexity or technological depth is important, but it remains understandable in ordinary discourse when comparing technicality.
