This can range from popular songs and movies to popular tourist destinations and trends. The adjective vinsælla is typically used in the nominative case when describing a singular feminine noun. Its masculine counterpart is vinsæll, and the neuter form is vinsælt. The plural forms are vinsælir (masculine), vinsælar (feminine), and vinsæl (neuter).

For example, one might say a particular band is "vinsæll" (popular), referring to a male musician, or a movie is "vinsælt" if it is a neuter noun.
