Pronoun

[edit ]

vér

  1. (archaic , formal ) first person plural pronoun; we
  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

[edit ]

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.
