verðsins

Verðsins is the genitive singular form of the Icelandic noun verð, meaning price or value. It is used to indicate possession or association with price in phrases that describe price movements, price levels, or effects linked to price. In Icelandic, the genitive form conveys both case and definiteness when combined with the definite article, and verðsins functions as the definite genitive form of verð.

Morphology and usage context: The base genitive singular of verð is verðs, and the definite genitive form in standard Icelandic is verðsins. This form appears primarily in written Icelandic, especially in economic, statistical, and formal prose, where one may discuss a specific price and its changes or characteristics.

Economic and linguistic notes: Verðsins is not a technical concept by itself but a grammatical construction used to refer to a price in a definite sense. It commonly occurs in discussions of price changes, inflation, and other price-related topics, alongside related terms such as verðlag (price level), verðbólga (inflation), and verðmæti (value).
