Vörurnar

Vörurnar is Icelandic for the definite plural form of the noun vara, meaning goods, products, or commodities. It is used when referring to specific items that are known in the context, such as those available in a shop, listed in a catalog, or discussed in economic or legal texts. The indefinite plural form is vörur, while the definite plural form, vörurnar, signals that the goods in question are identifiable or previously mentioned.

In everyday usage, vörurnar can refer to items for sale, inventory, or items under discussion. Examples include phrases like vörurnar í versluninni (the goods in the store), verðlag vörunnar (the price of the product), or vörurnar sem við höfum til sölu (the goods we have for sale). In economic, retail, or regulatory contexts, the term often appears in discussions about inventory, pricing, consumer rights, and trade.

Linguistically, vörurnar is formed as the definite plural of the noun vara. Vara originates from Icelandic and shares cognates with related Nordic languages. Related forms include vörur (indefinite plural) and varan (singular definite). The definite form is a common feature in Icelandic grammar, used to indicate specificity and to link referenced goods to a known set or prior mention.
