óþægilegum

The Icelandic word "óþægilegum" is the dative plural masculine/neuter form of the adjective "óþægilegur". This adjective translates to "unpleasant", "uncomfortable", or "inconvenient" in English. It is used to describe a situation, a feeling, or an object that causes discomfort or distress.

When referring to multiple male or neuter nouns in the dative case, "óþægilegum" would be the appropriate form. For example, one might say "þetta var óþægilegum aðstæðum" which could be translated as "this was in unpleasant circumstances". The dative case in Icelandic is often used to indicate the indirect object or the object of certain prepositions, and in this instance, it modifies the noun "aðstæðum" (circumstances).

The root of the word "óþægilegur" comes from "þægilegur", meaning "pleasant" or "comfortable", with the prefix "ó-" negating it, thus creating the opposite meaning. Therefore, "óþægilegum" inherently carries a negative connotation, signifying a lack of ease or agreeableness.
