augljósar

Augljósar is a grammatical form of the Icelandic adjective augljós, meaning obvious or self-evident. It is the feminine plural nominative and accusative form, used to modify feminine plural nouns. For example, augljósar staðreyndir means obvious facts, and augljósar aðstæður means obvious circumstances. The form reflects Icelandic agreement rules, where adjectives take different endings to match the gender, number, and case of the noun they describe.

Etymology and sense: The base augljós is widely used in modern Icelandic to describe statements, conclusions, or observations that are readily perceived or accepted as true. The word’s sense is extended metaphorically from seeing with the eye to clear reasoning, making augljós a common descriptor in everyday language, media, and scholarly writing.

Usage: In educational, journalistic, and philosophical contexts, augljósar is used to indicate statements or premises that do not require extensive argument to be considered evident. Writers may pair it with qualifying phrases when the obviousness is subject to interpretation or debate, in order to reinforce or critique the claim.
