sést

This is the 595th most frequent Icelandic word.


sést

"Is seen" or "visible."


The word 'sést' here is used in a passive construction, indicating that something is visible or observable.

Fjallið sést í fjarska.

The mountain can be seen in the distance.


Here, 'sést' is used metaphorically to refer to availability rather than literal visibility.

Nýja myndin sést ekki almennt enn.

The new movie is not generally available to see yet.


The word 'sést' again demonstrates visibility, emphasizing that the light contrasts with the surrounding darkness.

Ljósið sést í myrkrinu.

The light is visible in the darkness.
