Quantitative adjectives Exercises in Islandic language
Quantitative adjectives in Icelandic play a crucial role in describing the amount or quantity of nouns, providing essential information that can change the meaning of a sentence. These adjectives can be used to indicate exact numbers, such as "tveir" (two) or "fjórir" (four), as well as more general quantities, like "nokkrir" (several) or "margir" (many). Understanding how to use these adjectives correctly is vital for anyone looking to achieve fluency in Icelandic, as they help in constructing clear and precise sentences.
