Óhóflegar

Óhóflegar is an Icelandic adjective that translates to immoderate, excessive, or extravagant. It is the feminine or plural form of the adjective óhóflegur. The word is derived from the prefix "ó-" meaning "not" or "un-" and "hóflegur" meaning "moderate" or "fitting." Therefore, óhóflegar literally means "not moderate" or "unfittingly."

This adjective is used to describe things that are done or possessed in excess, lacking restraint or measure. For example, one might describe óhóflegar útgjöld as extravagant expenditures, or óhóflegar kröfur as excessive demands. The term can also apply to behavior, such as óhóflegar athafnir, meaning immoderate actions or conduct. In essence, óhóflegar points to a departure from a sensible or appropriate level. The antonym of óhóflegar would be hóflegar, meaning moderate or reasonable. The masculine singular form is óhóflegur and the neuter singular is óhóflegt.
