ákvarðuð

Ákvarðuð is an Icelandic word that translates to "decided" or "determined" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "ákvarða," which means "to decide" or "to determine." The word can be used in various contexts to indicate a resolution, a choice made, or a firm stance taken.

For example, one might say "Ég hef ákvarðað að læra íslensku," which means "I have decided to learn Icelandic." This signifies a personal choice and commitment. In a different scenario, a statement like "Málið var ákvarðað af dómstólnum" translates to "The case was decided by the court." Here, it refers to a formal conclusion reached by an authority.
