Questions & Answers about Pakkalímbandið er hér.
The ending -ið is the definite article attached to the noun. In Icelandic, the is usually added to the end of the word rather than written as a separate word.
So:
- pakkalímband = packing tape / parcel tape
- pakkalímbandið = the packing tape
For this noun, -ið shows that it is definite, singular, and neuter.
Because Icelandic usually uses a suffixed article. Instead of putting a separate word before the noun, Icelandic often adds the article directly onto the noun.
So English:
- the tape
but Icelandic:
- límbandið
This is completely normal in Icelandic. There is also a separate article in some contexts, but the attached form is the usual one in sentences like this.
