Definite Nouns Exercises For Icelandic Grammar

Exercise 1: Fill in the blank with the correct form of the definite noun (Definite Nouns – Singular)

Definite Nouns in Icelandic grammar (greinisetning) are indicated by a suffix attached to the noun. Unlike English where ‘the’ is used before the noun to show definiteness, in Icelandic, a definite article is added at the end of the noun. The definite article changes depending on the gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), the number (singular or plural), and the case (nominative, accusative, dative, or genitive).
