nákvæmlegir is an Icelandic word that translates to "accurate" or "precise" in English. It is used to describe something that is exact, free from error, or conforms strictly to a standard or rule. The word can be applied to a variety of contexts, from measurements and calculations to statements and actions.

For example, one might refer to nákvæmlegir mælingar (accurate measurements) in a scientific experiment, or a nákvæmleg athugasemd (precise remark) in a discussion. The concept of nákvæmni (accuracy/precision) is often valued in fields where exactness is crucial, such as engineering, mathematics, and law.

The word is derived from the root "nákvæmur," which also means accurate or precise. The "-legir" suffix in Icelandic often indicates an adjective form.
