útskýringuna

útskýringuna is the accusative singular form of the Icelandic word "útskýring." "Útskýring" translates to "explanation" or "clarification" in English. Therefore, "útskýringuna" literally means "the explanation" when it is the direct object of a verb or the object of a preposition that takes the accusative case.

In Icelandic grammar, nouns change their form depending on their grammatical case, number, and gender. "Útskýring" is a feminine noun. The accusative case is used to mark the direct object of a transitive verb. For example, in the sentence "Ég vil fá útskýringuna," which means "I want to get the explanation," "útskýringuna" is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb "vil fá" (want to get). Similarly, it can be used after certain prepositions that govern the accusative. Understanding the accusative case is crucial for correct sentence construction in Icelandic.
