Lesson 4: Simple Grammar and Sentence Building
Objective: Understand Icelandic sentence structure and basic grammar.
Subject-Verb-Object Order:
Icelandic generally follows the SVO order, but word order can shift for emphasis.
Articles:
Definite articles are suffixes (e.g., bók = book, bókin = the book).
Indefinite articles are implied (no equivalent of a/an).
Basic Sentence Examples:
The cat is black. Kötturinn er svartur.
I like Iceland. Mér líkar Ísland.
