þekktastar

þekktastar is an Icelandic word. It is the feminine superlative form of the adjective þekktur, meaning "known" or "famous." Therefore, þekktastar translates to "most known" or "most famous" when referring to multiple females or feminine nouns. The masculine superlative form is þekktastur, and the neuter superlative form is þekktast. This grammatical feature, where adjectives change form based on gender and number, is characteristic of the Icelandic language. The word itself is not a standalone concept but rather a grammatical inflection used within sentences to denote the highest degree of familiarity or renown among a group of feminine subjects. For example, one might say "Þær eru þekktastar í landinu" which translates to "They (feminine plural) are the most famous in the country." Understanding the superlative forms of adjectives like þekktur is crucial for comprehending Icelandic grammar.
