From Lesson 483:State of completion (vera orðinn)·Icelandic

Questions & Answers about Liturinn er orðinn mjög fallegur.

Why does this sentence use er orðinn instead of hefur orðið for "has become"?
While both translate to "has become", using vera (here as er) + orðinn focuses on the resulting state rather than the action itself. When you pair this with an adjective like fallegur, Icelandic heavily prefers vera orðinn to emphasize that the color is currently resting in this new, beautiful state.
Why do both the verb form orðinn and the adjective fallegur change their endings here?
Because they must both agree with the subject of the sentence, liturinn (the color). Litur is a masculine singular noun in the nominative case, so both the past participle orðinn and the adjective fallegur take their masculine singular nominative forms to match it.
Does adding orðinn significantly change the meaning compared to just saying Liturinn er mjög fallegur?
Yes. Liturinn er mjög fallegur simply means "The color is very beautiful" as a static fact. Inserting orðinn adds the aspect of a completed change—it implies the color wasn't this beautiful before, but perhaps after the paint dried or a filter was applied, it has turned beautiful.
Why does mjög come exactly where it does in the sentence?
mjög (very) is an adverb modifying the adjective fallegur, so it must sit directly in front of the word it describes. The two-part verb phrase er orðinn stays together before it.
