stjórnarleg

Stjórnarleg is an Icelandic adjective that translates to "administrative" or "governmental" in English. It is derived from the noun "stjórn," which means "administration" or "government." The term is used to describe something that pertains to the management or control of an organization, institution, or government. For example, a stjórnarleg ráðgjöf (administrative advice) is advice given by a government or administrative body.

In Icelandic, the term is often used in the context of public administration, governance, and the functioning of governmental institutions. It can also be used to describe processes, decisions, or actions that are carried out by or under the authority of a government or administrative body. For instance, stjórnarleg breytingar (administrative changes) refer to changes made by a government or administrative body.

The term is not to be confused with "stjórnmál" (politics), which refers to the activities and processes involved in the governance of a country or area. While stjórnarleg and stjórnmál are related, they are distinct concepts. Stjórnarleg pertains to the day-to-day management and operation of government and administrative bodies, while stjórnmál involves the broader political processes and decisions that shape policy and governance.
