viðráðanleg

viðráðanleg is an Icelandic adjective that translates to "affordable" or "manageable" in English. It is derived from the verb viðráða, meaning "to manage" or "to cope with". The adjective describes something that is within one's means or capacity to handle, whether financially or in terms of effort or difficulty.

When used in a financial context, viðráðanleg refers to the cost of goods or services. For instance, a product might be described as viðráðanleg if its price is considered reasonable and accessible to the average consumer. This can apply to a wide range of items, from everyday necessities to larger purchases. The term implies that a person can afford something without undue financial strain.

Beyond financial implications, viðráðanleg can also describe situations or tasks that are manageable. For example, a project might be considered viðráðanleg if it is achievable within a given timeframe and with available resources. Similarly, a problem could be described as viðráðanleg if it is not overwhelming and can be addressed effectively. The core meaning remains consistent: something that can be dealt with successfully. The antonym of viðráðanleg is often óviðráðanleg, meaning "unmanageable" or "unaffordable".
