verulegri

Verulegri is the Icelandic comparative form of the adjective verulegur, meaning real, substantial, or significant. It is used to indicate that one thing has a greater degree of that quality than another. Like other Icelandic adjectives, verulegri inflects for gender, number, and definiteness, so its precise ending changes with the noun it modifies and the grammatical case.

In practice, verulegri appears in phrases describing greater impact or importance. For example, verulegri breyting can be translated as “a more substantial change,” and verulegri áhrif as “more significant effects.” The form is common in formal writing, journalism, and analyses where comparative emphasis is needed.

Etymology and relationship: verulegur and its comparative verulegri derive from the Icelandic word meaning real or true, with the comparative suffix functioning as in other Germanic languages. The pair is part of a broader set of adjectives that describe degree and intensity.

Usage notes: As with other Icelandic adjectives, the endings of verulegri align with the noun’s gender, number, and definiteness. The comparative form is a standard tool for ranking or contrasting the magnitude of qualities across items, events, or outcomes.
