leyfðum

Leyfðum is an Icelandic word. It is the past tense plural form of the verb "leyfa," which translates to "to allow" or "to permit" in English. Therefore, "leyfðum" signifies that a group of people or entities permitted or allowed something to happen.

In context, "leyfðum" would be used in sentences describing actions where a collective body granted permission. For example, one might say "Við leyfðum börnunum að fara út" which translates to "We allowed the children to go out." Here, "við" (we) is the subject performing the action of allowing, and "leyfðum" is the verb indicating the past tense and plural subject.

The grammatical structure of Icelandic verbs involves conjugation based on tense, mood, number, and person. "Leyfðum" specifically reflects a past tense, indicative mood, plural number, and first or third person. Understanding this inflection is key to correctly interpreting its meaning within an Icelandic sentence.
