seðlunum

Seðlunum is the Icelandic dative plural definite form of the noun seðill, which means receipt, bill, or voucher. The seðill is a written record of a transaction, proof of payment, or a document issued in exchange for goods or services. In grammar, seðlunum appears when multiple receipts are discussed in contexts that require the dative case with a definite plural, such as indications of to/for the receipts or when the receipts are the indirect object in a sentence.

Morphology and forms

Seðill is a masculine noun. The definite dative plural form is seðlunum. Other related forms include the nominative singular seðill, the definite nominative singular seðillinn, the nominative plural seðlar, and the definite nominative plural seðlarnir. Icelandic nouns decline by case and number, and seðlunum is one of the standard inflected forms used in everyday language, administration, and written texts when referring to multiple receipts in a definite, indirect-object context.

Usage and context

In Icelandic, seðill denotes a receipt or invoice and is widely used in commerce, accounting, and tax documentation. While many transactions are now conducted electronically and yield digital receipts, the term persists in formal writing and legal or archival contexts. Seðlunum will appear in sentences describing actions involving multiple receipts in a dative sense, or in lists and references within documents that intentionally specify these items in a definite plural form.
