raunverulegrar

Raunverulegrar is an inflected form of the Icelandic adjective raunverulegur, which means real, actual, or realistic. In Icelandic, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, producing a range of inflected forms. Raunverulegrar represents one of these feminine forms and is used in contexts where the modifying noun is feminine and appears in a case where this particular ending is required.

The adjective raunverulegur itself is built from the roots raun (truth) and verulegur (great, significant), giving a sense of something that is believable or plausible. The form raunverulegrar illustrates how Icelandic handles agreement by altering the ending to match grammatical features beyond mere gender, reflecting case and syntactic role as well.

In practice, raunverulegrar appears in linguistic descriptions, dictionaries, and texts that illustrate Icelandic grammar, rather than as a standalone vocabulary item. Its primary function is to demonstrate the distribution of feminine inflections for this adjective, rather than to convey a separate lexical concept distinct from raunverulegur.
