Fljótlegastan is an Icelandic word. It is the superlative form of the adjective fljótur, meaning fast or quick. Therefore, fljótlegastan translates to "the fastest" or "the quickest".

The word is used to describe something that possesses the highest degree of speed or rapidity when compared to all other things in a given context. For example, one might refer to the fljótlegastan fugl (the fastest bird) or the fljótlegastan leið (the quickest way).

When used as the superlative of other adjectives, the typical pattern for Icelandic adjectives is followed, with the addition of the definite article and the appropriate superlative ending.

The concept of "fastest" is relative and depends on the frame of reference. In physics, speed is measured as distance over time, and the concept of fastest is often discussed in relation to the speed of light, which is considered the ultimate speed limit in the universe. In everyday language, however, "fastest" refers to comparative speeds in common scenarios, such as the fastest car, the fastest runner, or the fastest internet connection.
