Questions & Answers about Áætlunin okkar breytist oft.

What does áætlunin mean, and how is it formed?

Áætlunin is the definite form of áætlun, meaning “the plan” or “the schedule.” In Icelandic, you form the definite article by adding a suffix to the noun: for feminine nouns like áætlun (a feminine noun ending in -un), you add -in, giving áætlunin.

Why is the possessive okkar placed after the noun instead of before it?

In Icelandic, possessive pronouns generally follow the noun they modify. So instead of saying “our plan” as okkar áætlun, you say áætlunin okkar (“the plan of ours”). The order is noun + definite suffix + possessive pronoun.

Does okkar change its form for gender, number, or case?

No, okkar is invariant. Unlike some other pronouns, okkar (our/ours) has only one form for all genders, numbers, and cases.

What is the verb breytist, and why is it used here?

Brey­tist is the 3rd-person singular present tense of the middle-voice verb að breytast, meaning “to change” (by itself). Because áætlunin (the plan) is a single entity, we use the singular breytist to say “it changes.”
