Adjectives & Nouns - Adverbs & Verbs

We managed to learn a bit about by taking a test
  • Adjectives describing nouns (Adjectiv eru eitt slag av lýsingarorðum, ið lýsa navnorð)
  • I am a quick runner - Runner is a noun, quick is the noun's adjective
  • Adverbs describing verbs  (Adverb eru eitt slag av hjáorðum, ið lýsa sagnorð)
  • I run quickly - run is a verb, quickly is the verb's adverb


skjóti      rennarin      rennur     skjótt
Adjective   Noun          Verb       Adverb
