Questions & Answers about Við lesum flokkunarleiðbeiningarnar í hvert sinn sem við flokkum bylgjupappa.
Because the sentence has two clauses:
- Við lesum flokkunarleiðbeiningarnar = We read the sorting instructions
- sem við flokkum bylgjupappa = when/that we sort corrugated cardboard
Each clause has its own verb, so Icelandic normally states the subject again, just like English does in we read ... every time we sort ....
Lesa is the dictionary form, meaning to read.
Lesum is the present-tense form for we:
- ég les = I read
- þú lest = you read
- við lesum = we read
So Við lesum means we read.
