Correct, but be aware of another similar verb 'bregða' which turns to 'brá' in past tense. It's also impersonal.

Thank you so much for your help, Magda! Brá was the word I was looking for, that settled it. You Slavic people are experts when it comes to grammar. :)

Hi :) I'm not a native speaker, so I might be wrong, but as far as I know, it's an impersonal form of the verb brá as you can see here:

In any case, if you need to find a basic form of a word, just use BÍN and remember to tick the box marked with "Leita að beygingarmynd" (inflected forms).
I think it means to recover, get better.
