milljóni

Milljóni is the Icelandic term used to denote the number one million. The base form is milljón, and milljóni is one of its inflected forms used in specific grammatical cases. In everyday Icelandic, milljón is used to express large quantities in finance, statistics, and general counting, just as “million” is used in English. When referring to multiple millions or to the magnitude of a quantity, the language employs appropriate declensions of milljón depending on case, number, and definiteness. The word commonly appears in contexts such as salaries, budgets, population figures, and market sizes, and is often combined with currency names like króna to denote sums in millions. In Icelandic, large numbers are typically written with a space as a thousands separator, so 1,000,000 is written as 1 000 000 and spoken as one milljón. The system for forming numbers in Icelandic is regular, with milljón standing as a core unit for 10^6. While milljóni is not a separate numeric unit, it serves as a flexibly inflected form of milljón in sentences requiring a particular grammatical case. Understanding its use requires some familiarity with Icelandic noun declension and how numerals interact with nouns in the language.
