aðgerðirnar

Aðgerðirnar is the definite plural form of the Icelandic noun aðgerð, meaning operation, procedure, or action. It is used to refer to a set of actions or processes, and its precise sense depends on context.

In medicine, aðgerð denotes a surgical operation, so aðgerðirnar refers to the surgical procedures or operations being considered or carried out. In mathematics and computing, aðgerð means an operation or function, such as addition or a routine in a program; aðgerðirnar can denote the collection of such operations described in a text or used by a system. In everyday language, the term can simply mean actions or activities undertaken by people or organizations. In military, intelligence, or public safety contexts, aðgerð can describe a planned operation or mission, and aðgerðirnar would refer to the set of actions comprising that operation.

Morphology: aðgerð is a feminine noun; its plural is aðgerðir, and the definite plural form is aðgerðirnar. This form is used when both speaker and listener refer to a specific, known group of actions.
