Spurningarfornöfnin

Spurningarfornöfnin, also known as interrogative pronouns, are a category of pronouns used in Icelandic to ask questions. They are essential for forming questions in the language and are used to inquire about various types of information. The most common spurningarfornöfnin include "hver" (who), "hvað" (what), "hvaða" (which), "hvar" (where), "hvenær" (when), "hví" (why), and "hversu" (how much/how many). These pronouns can be used independently or in combination with other words to form questions. For example, "Hver er þessi maður?" translates to "Who is this man?" and "Hvað gerir þú?" translates to "What are you doing?" Spurningarfornöfnin are fundamental to the structure of Icelandic questions and play a crucial role in communication. They help to clarify the subject, object, or other details of a question, making them indispensable in both spoken and written Icelandic.
