yfirþröngum

Yfirþröngum is an Icelandic word that translates to "overcrowded" or "too crowded" in English. It is a compound word formed from "yfir" meaning "over" or "above," and "þröngum," the dative plural form of "þröngur," meaning "narrow" or "tight." Therefore, yfirþröngum literally signifies being in a state of being overly narrow or tight, which in common usage refers to a situation where there are too many people or things in a given space.

The term can be applied to various contexts. For instance, a bus might be described as yfirþröngum if it is filled beyond its comfortable capacity. Similarly, a city or a venue could be considered yfirþröngum during peak hours or special events. The feeling associated with yfirþröngum often implies a lack of personal space, discomfort, and potential difficulty in movement. It suggests a situation that has exceeded a comfortable or manageable limit.
