langan
"Langan" is not an independent word in Icelandic but can relate to "langan" as a verb form, meaning "to long for" or "to desire."
In this sentence, 'langar' is used in its infinitive form to denote 'to want,' indicating a desire or wish in the first person singular.
Mig langar að borða ís.
I want to eat ice cream.
In this example, 'langar' is employed to express a strong internal desire, synonymously akin to 'craving' or 'yearning,' tailored to the subject of the sentence.
Hún langar eftir ævintýri.
She yearns for adventure.
Here, 'langað' appears in the past participle form, expressing a feeling of ongoing or long-held desire in the third person singular.
