kortar

Kortar is an Icelandic verb form used in present tense. It is the third-person singular form of the verb korta, which means to shorten. As a conjugation, kortar indicates that he, she, or it shortens something in the present moment.

In Icelandic, verbs are conjugated for person and number, and kortar follows the standard pattern for present-tense endings. The form can occur with various direct objects, and the noun may appear in definite or indefinite form depending on the sentence structure. This makes kortar a common form in everyday language when describing edits, reductions, or trimming actions.

A typical example would be a sentence where someone shortens a text or a plan, such as a hypothetical construction meaning “he shortens the text.” The exact translation depends on context and the definiteness of the object, which affects Icelandic noun endings and article usage.

Beyond its grammatical role, kortar does not function as a separate lexical entry in English-language contexts. It is primarily of interest to learners, translators, and linguists studying Icelandic verb conjugation. In other languages or specialized writings, the string may appear only as part of a longer word or as a transcription of Icelandic text.
