fyrirhugaðar

Fyrirhugaðar is an Icelandic adjective meaning planned or intended. It is the feminine plural form of the past participle used with nouns that are in the planning stage or are intended but not yet carried out. The base form comes from fyrirhugaður, combining fyrir- meaning before or in advance with huga, a verb related to thinking or considering. Thus, fyrrihugaður conveys something considered beforehand.

The term is common in official, administrative and planning contexts. It appears in government reports, policy papers and legal or regulatory language to describe actions, measures or changes that are proposed but not yet implemented. Examples include phrases such as "fyrirhugaðar aðgerðir" (planned actions), "fyrirhugaðar breytingar" (planned changes) and "fyrirhugaðar ráðstafanir" (planned measures). In English, it corresponds to “proposed” or “planned,” depending on the nuance.

Usage notes: Icelandic adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in gender, number and case. Therefore, "fyrirhugaðar" is used with feminine plural nouns (for example, ráðstafanir, aðgerðir). The masculine and neuter forms are different (masculine singular gæti verið fyrirhugaður; neuter singular fyrirhugað), as part of standard Icelandic agreement rules. In context, the word signals that something is in the planning stage rather than final or enacted.
