Indefinite pronouns in Icelandic grammar are words that replace nouns without specifying which noun they replace. They come in handy when it is not necessary to identify a person or thing specifically. Examples of such words in Icelandic include: “einhver” (someone), “eitthvað” (something), “nokkur” (some), “allir” (all), and “margar” (many).
