þekkjið

þekkjið is a verb in the Icelandic language. It is the past tense form of the verb þekkja, which means "to know" or "to recognize." Specifically, þekkjið is the second-person plural past indicative form of þekkja. This means it is used when speaking to more than one person in the past tense, referring to them as "you" (plural). For example, a sentence using þekkjið might translate to "You (all) knew him" or "You (all) recognized her." The verb þekkja itself is a common and fundamental verb in Icelandic, indicating familiarity with a person, place, or thing. The conjugation of verbs in Icelandic, including the distinction between singular and plural forms and different tenses, is a key feature of the language's grammar. The ending "-jið" is characteristic of the second-person plural past indicative in many Icelandic verbs. Therefore, þekkjið directly conveys the action of knowing or recognizing performed by a group of people addressed as "you" in a past context.
