Anagrams

Icelandic

Etymology

From Old Norse vér, from Proto-Germanic *wīz, from Proto-Indo-European *wéy, plural of *éǵh₂.

Pronunciation

Pronoun

vér

  1. (archaic, formal) First person plural pronoun; we (singular ég, eg).
  2. (archaic, formal) A formal term of self-reference used by a royal person; we.
    Vér teljum þetta mál hið alvarlegasta. Kallið saman ríkisráðið undir eins.
    We deem this matter most grave. Assemble the privy council immediately.

Usage notes

This pronoun has mostly fallen out of use in favour of við, but lingers in biblical language in the raw plural sense, and finds occasional use elsewhere. As a majestic self-reference, it was used in royal decrees, and may find modern use e.g. in literature dealing with persons who refer to themselves in such a way.
