It's important to note that prepositions in Icelandic are often combined with definite articles to create prepositional phrases. This is because Icelandic is a heavily inflected language, and the case of the preposition must match the case of the noun it governs. The table below shows some examples of prepositional phrases in Icelandic:
=== Án (Without) ===
 
The preposition "án" is used to indicate absence or lack of something. It governs the genitive case.
 
Examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Icelandic !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
! Icelandic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| á húsinu || au hʏsɪnʏ || on the house
| Ég fór í búðina án peninga. || [jɛːɣ ˈfouːr iː ˈpuːðɪna ˈauːn ˈpɛːnɪŋa] || I went to the store without money.
|-
|-

| Ég borðaði matinn án salts. || [jɛːɣ ˈpɔrðaːðɪ ˈmatɪn ˈauːn sals̥t] || I ate the food without salt.
|-
|-

| Ég get ekki lifað án þín. || [jɛːɣ kɛt ˈɛcɪ lɪˈfaːð ˈauːn θiːn] || I cannot live without you.
|}
 
=== Til (To) ===
 
The preposition "til" is used to indicate direction or purpose. It governs the accusative case.
 
Examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Icelandic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Ég fór til Reykjavíkur.  || [jɛːɣ ˈfouːr tɪl ˈreːicavˌiːkʏr] || I went to Reykjavik.
|-
| Ég skrifaði bréfið til míns föður.  || [jɛːɣ ˈskr̥ɪvaːðɪ ˈpraiːvɪð tɪl ˈmiːns ˈfœːðʏr̥] || I wrote the letter to my father.
|-
|-
| um það bil || ʏm θað ˈpɪl || approximately
| Ég keypti blómin til að gefa þeim. || [jɛːɣ ˈceɪptɪ ˈploumɪn tɪl aː ˈcɛːva ˈθeiːm] || I bought the flowers to give to them.
|}
|}


Remember that the case of the preposition must match the case of the noun in the prepositional phrase. For instance, if the noun is in the accusative case, the preposition must also be in the accusative case.
=== Eftir (After) ===
 
The preposition "eftir" is used to indicate time or order. It governs the dative case.
 
Examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Icelandic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Ég kem eftir þér.  || [jɛːɣ kɛm ˈɛcɪr̥ ˈθjɛːr̥] || I'll come after you.
|-
| Þú átt að fara heim eftir skólann.  || [θuː ˈauʰt ˈaː fava ˈhɛɪm ˈɛcɪr̥ ˈskouːlan] || You should go home after school.
|-
| Ég hlakka til að sjá þig eftir vinnuna.  || [jɛːɣ ˈl̥aʰka tɪl aː ˈsjaː θɪɣ ˈɛcɪr̥ ˈvɪnːʏna] || I look forward to seeing you after work.
|}


In Icelandic, the preposition "að" meaning "to" is often used in combination with infinitive verbs to indicate purpose. For example, "að læra" means "to learn."
== Cultural Insights ==


== Usage ==
Icelandic prepositions reflect the unique geography and culture of Iceland. The language is heavily influenced by the country's natural surroundings, with prepositions often used to describe locations, directions, and relationships with the land and sea. For example, the preposition "á" (on/at) is frequently used in Icelandic to describe the position of something on top of a natural feature, such as a mountain or a glacier. Similarly, the preposition "undir" (under) is commonly used to describe the position of something beneath a natural feature, like a waterfall or a cave. This close connection between the language and the landscape demonstrates how Icelandic culture and environment shape the linguistic expression of prepositions.


The local (spacial) prepositions "á" (on, at) and "í" (in, into) can be a bit tricky for learners, as their usage doesn't always align with English. For example, "á" is used for both "on" and "at" in Icelandic, while "í" is used for both "in" and "into."
Historically, Icelandic has also been influenced by Old Norse, the language of the Vikings. Many prepositions in Icelandic have their roots in Old Norse, and their usage has evolved over time. Studying Icelandic prepositions can provide insights into the rich history and cultural heritage of Iceland, as well as its linguistic ties to the Viking era.


The preposition "um" is one of the most versatile prepositions in Icelandic, as it can be used to express a variety of meanings, such as "about," "around," "for," and "at" (time). For example, "um klukkan sjö" means "around seven o'clock."
== Practice Exercises ==


The preposition "fyrir" is used to express both time and position. When used to express time, it means "before." When used to express position, it can mean "in front of" or "for (intended for)."
Now it's time to put your knowledge of Icelandic prepositions to the test! Try the following exercises to practice using the common prepositions covered in this lesson. Solutions and explanations will be provided afterward, so don't worry if you get stuck.


The preposition "undir" (under, below) is often used in combination with the genitive case to indicate ownership. For example, "undir hennar spýtur" means "under her bed."
Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the appropriate preposition.


== Grammar Tips ==
1. Ég fór ____ bókasafnið að læra.
2. Kattarnir eru ____ borðinu.
3. Ég keypti blómin ____ þig.
4. Ég borðaði kökuna ____ gafflinum.
5. Ég átti að fara heim ____ skólann.
6. Ég hlakka ____ að sjá þig eftir vinnuna.


When using prepositions in Icelandic, it's important to pay attention to the case of the noun that follows the preposition. For example, if the noun is in the accusative case, the preposition must also be in the accusative case.
Exercise 2: Translate the following sentences from English to Icelandic.


It's also important to remember that some prepositions in Icelandic are irregular and do not follow typical declension patterns. These prepositions include "eptir" (after), "á milli" (between, among), and "fyrir utan" (except for).
1. The book is on the table.
2. I went to the store without money.
3. I bought the flowers for you.
4. I ate the cake with the fork.
5. I'll come after you.
6. I look forward to seeing you after work.


Finally, prepositions in Icelandic can have different meanings depending on the context in which they are used. Therefore, it's important to practice using prepositions in different contexts to gain a better understanding of their meanings and usage.
