jákvæðari

jákvæðari is an Icelandic word that translates to "more positive" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective jákvæður, meaning "positive." This word is used in various contexts to indicate an increase in positivity, whether referring to an emotional state, an outlook, or a general situation.

For example, someone might say "Ég er jákvæðari í dag" which means "I am more positive today." This suggests a shift from a previous state of less positivity to a current one that is improved. The word can also be applied to abstract concepts. If a new development is described as having a "jákvæðari áhrif" (more positive effect), it implies that the outcome of this development is better or more beneficial than a previous or alternative outcome.

In discussions about attitudes or perspectives, using "jákvæðari" signifies a move towards optimism or a more hopeful viewpoint. It's a common term in everyday Icelandic conversation and writing, allowing speakers to express nuanced degrees of positivity.
