In usage, bókaður can be used attributively before a noun or predicatively after a linking verb (such as er). The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, following standard Icelandic adjective agreement rules.

Etymology: The verb bóka comes from Icelandic, with the participle forming bókaður by adding the standard masculine singular suffix. The word shares cognates with related forms in other Scandinavian languages where similar verbs exist.

Grammatical notes: As a past participle functioning as an adjective, bókaður inflects for case, number, and gender in accordance with Icelandic inflection patterns. It can appear in compounds with nouns to convey a sense of reservation. The masculine singular form is bókaður; it is distinct from bóka, the bare infinitive, and from bókun, a noun meaning "booking" or "reservation."
