Negative Sentences Exercises For Icelandic Grammar

Negative sentences in Icelandic grammar are generally formed by placing the negation ‘ekki’ (not) after the verb. It’s important to remember that in Icelandic, verbs usually don’t change in negative sentences. The negation becomes ‘ekkert’ (nothing) if it refers to an undetermined object and ‘neinn’ (no/none) if it refers to a determined object. Let’s explore this further with some exercises.
