þekkttum

Þekkttum is an Icelandic word that translates to "known" or "famous." It is the dative plural form of the adjective "þekktur," meaning known, recognized, or famous. In Icelandic grammar, the dative case is used for various grammatical functions, including indirect objects, the object of certain prepositions, and in idiomatic expressions. Therefore, "þekkttum" would appear in a sentence where "known" or "famous" refers to a group of people or things in a context requiring the dative plural.

For example, one might encounter "þekkttum söngvum" which would translate to "to known songs" or "among famous songs." The specific context within a sentence determines the precise nuance of "þekkttum." It signifies a collective familiarity or renown associated with a plural subject or object. The word itself does not refer to a specific entity or concept but rather functions as a grammatical form describing a state of being known by multiple entities. Understanding its grammatical role is key to interpreting its meaning in Icelandic texts.
