ónýnilegur

ónýnilegur is an Icelandic adjective. It translates to "unbearable" or "intolerable" in English. The word is formed by combining the prefix "ónýtur" which means "ruined" or "useless" with the suffix "-legur" which forms adjectives. Therefore, ónýnilegur literally suggests something that has become so ruined or useless that it cannot be borne.

It is used to describe situations, conditions, or experiences that are extremely difficult to endure or put up with. For example, one might describe extreme pain as ónýnilegur, or a very unpleasant living situation as ónýnilegur. The word carries a strong sense of suffering or hardship, indicating a level of discomfort that is beyond what a person can reasonably tolerate. Its usage is common in everyday Icelandic conversation when expressing strong negative feelings about a particular circumstance.
