hagfræðilegrar

Hagfræðilegrar is the genitive singular feminine form of the Icelandic adjective hagfræðilegur, meaning economic or pertaining to economics. It is used to describe a feminine singular noun in the genitive case, for example in phrases such as áhrif hagfræðilegrar stefnu (“the effects of an economic policy”) or gildi hagfræðilegrar rannsóknar (“the value of an economic study”).

In Icelandic, adjectives decline for gender, number, and case. The ending hagfræðilegrar signals that the noun it modifies is feminine and in the genitive case. This contrasts with hagfræðilegur (nominative singular masculine), hagfræðileg (neuter), or hagfræðilegar (feminine/plural nominative or other cases), depending on the noun and syntactic role.

Etymology and usage: hagfræðilegur is formed from hagfræði (economics) with the adjective suffix -ilegur, which creates descriptors meaning “pertaining to” or “economic.” The genitive form hagfræðilegrar thus appears in contexts where ownership, relationship, or specification is expressed in Icelandic grammar, such as in constructs involving possession, specification, or measurement related to economic topics.
