heimsóttum

Heimsóttum is an Icelandic word that translates to "visited" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "heimsækja," which means "to visit." This word can be used in various contexts to describe the act of having been visited by someone or something, or having visited a place.

For example, one might say "Ég heimsóttum vin minn" which translates to "I visited my friend." Similarly, "Bærinn var heimsóttum af ferðamönnum" means "The town was visited by tourists." The word indicates a completed action of visiting.

In a more abstract sense, "heimsóttum" can also refer to being afflicted by something, such as an illness. For instance, "Hann var heimsóttum af flensu" would mean "He was visited by the flu." This usage implies an unwelcome or unexpected arrival, similar to how one might speak of being "afflicted with" or "stricken by" an illness in English. The specific meaning is often inferred from the surrounding context.
