dauður

Icelandic

Etymology

From Old Norse dauðr, from Proto-Germanic *daudaz.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈtøyːðʏr/
    Rhymes: -øyːðʏr

Adjective

dauður (comparative dauðari, superlative dauðastur)

  1. dead

Usage notes
  • Dauður can sound heartless in modern Icelandic when used for someone the speaker, or the people he is speaking to, knew. When referring to a specific person, use dáinn or látinn instead, unless you are talking about a historical figure or someone otherwise unconnected to you.
