óbærilegur

Óbærilegur is an Icelandic adjective that translates to "unbearable" or "intolerable" in English. It is used to describe something that is so extreme in its negative qualities that it cannot be endured or tolerated. This can apply to a wide range of situations, from physical discomfort to emotional distress or even abstract concepts.

For instance, one might describe a severe pain as óbærilegur. Similarly, a situation causing profound sadness or anger could be deemed óbærilegur. The adjective conveys a strong sense of suffering or extreme unpleasantness. It implies that a limit has been reached and that continuation of the condition or situation is simply not possible to withstand.

The word is formed by the prefix "ó-" which signifies negation, and the word "bærilegur" meaning "bearable" or "tolerable." Thus, óbærilegur literally means "not bearable." It is a common adjective in the Icelandic language and is often used to express intense negative feelings or experiences.
