ánægður

ánægður is an Icelandic adjective meaning pleased or content, used to describe a person who feels satisfaction with a person, object, or outcome. It is commonly translated as "pleased" or "satisfied" in English, and can express a mild sense of happiness or approval.

The word derives from the noun ánægja, which means pleasure or satisfaction. In Icelandic, adjectives related to mood or appraisal are formed from such nouns and inflect for gender, number, and definiteness.

Usage and examples: ánægður is typically used with the preposition með to indicate what one is pleased with. For example, Ég er ánægður með verkefnið means "I am pleased with the project." The feminine form is ánægð (e.g., Hún er ánægð). There is also a neuter form, commonly given as ánægt, used with neuter nouns or when describing a situation rather than a person.

Grammar notes: Like most Icelandic adjectives, ánægður declines for gender, number, and definiteness. The base form shown is the masculine singular nominative; other forms appear in feminine, neuter, plural, and in definite constructions. It is closely related to ánægja, the noun for pleasure or satisfaction.

In summary, ánægður is a standard Icelandic term for describing positive emotional evaluation, most often translated as “pleased” or “content,” and used in everyday speech to express satisfaction with people, things, or outcomes.
