nýttir

nýttir is an Icelandic adjective form meaning "new" that appears as the masculine plural nominative and accusative in indefinite noun phrases. It is used to describe objects, ideas, or people that are newly produced, acquired, or introduced, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. In Icelandic, adjectives decline for gender, number and definiteness, so nýttir is one of several plural endings; the form changes for feminine and neuter nouns and in definite noun phrases according to standard declension rules.

The base adjective is nýr for masculine singular, nýtt for neuter singular, and the feminine form is typically different; nýttir is the masculine plural form. The word is etymologically derived from Old Norse nyrr or nýr, related to cognates in other Germanic languages that mean "new."

Common usage appears in descriptive writing, product descriptions, and historical or journalistic texts when referring to items or people that are newly introduced or acquired. For example, nýttir hlutir can be used to say "new things" or "new items." It is not a proper noun and has no widely recognized meaning beyond its role as a grammatical form.
