skráðir

Skáðir seems to be a misspelling; the Icelandic term most commonly used is skráðir, which is the masculine plural nominative form of the adjective skráður, meaning registered, enrolled, or listed. It can function as an adjective or as a substantive referring to the set of individuals or entities that have been officially recorded in a registry.

In practical use, skráðir appears in administrative and legal language to describe people or organizations that are registered with an authority. For example, skráðir kjósendur refers to registered voters, and skráðir aðilar can refer to registered parties or participants in a program. The term is common in contexts such as population registers, tax registries, electoral rolls, and company registries, where being listed is a prerequisite for rights or duties.

Etymology-wise, skráðir derives from the verb skrá, meaning to write down or register. The participle form skráður yields the plural skráðir in masculine form; feminine and neuter forms differ (skráðar, skráð). This pattern follows standard Icelandic adjective declension, allowing skráðir to modify masculine plural nouns and, in certain constructions, to function as a noun phrase meaning “the registered.”

Related terms include skráning (registration) and skrásetning (record-keeping). In official documents, the phrase “skráðir” helps distinguish those included in a registry from those who are not.
