mörkuðu

Mörkuðu is an Icelandic word that translates to "marked" or "designated" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "merkja," which means to mark, to sign, or to denote. The word can be used in various contexts to indicate that something has been given a specific mark, label, or designation.

For instance, "mörkuðu svæði" would refer to marked areas, such as those in a park or a nature reserve that are designated for specific activities or prohibited from entry. In a more abstract sense, "mörkuðu takmörk" could mean marked boundaries or limits, implying a clear delineation of what is acceptable or not. The term can also apply to physical objects, such as "mörkuðu fatnaður" which would mean marked clothing, perhaps indicating ownership or a specific size.

The grammatical form "mörkuðu" specifically refers to a plural or definite singular subject that has been marked. For example, "Bækurnar voru mörkuðu" translates to "The books were marked." The singular, indefinite form would be "mörkuð." Understanding "mörkuðu" is key to comprehending descriptions of things that have been identified or set apart through a marking process in the Icelandic language.
