siðfræðilegri

siðfræðilegri is the dative singular feminine form of the Icelandic adjective "siðfræðilegur." This adjective translates to "ethical" or "moral" in English. Therefore, "siðfræðilegri" indicates something that is related to ethics or morality, in a way that requires the dative case. The dative case in Icelandic is used for various grammatical functions, often indicating an indirect object, the object of certain prepositions, or the recipient of an action. When "siðfræðilegri" is used, it is modifying a feminine noun in the dative singular. For example, one might speak of "að standa siðfræðilegri ábyrgð" which translates to "to bear ethical responsibility." In this context, "ábyrgð" (responsibility) is a feminine noun in the dative singular, and "siðfræðilegri" agrees with it in case, number, and gender. The concept of ethics, as represented by the root "siðfræði," deals with principles of right and wrong conduct and the study of moral values. Thus, "siðfræðilegri" points to a feminine entity that is characterized by or pertaining to these ethical principles.
