What does the verb form leysir correspond to, and how is að leysa conjugated?
Leysir is the 3rd person singular present indicative of að leysa (to solve).
- Infinitive: að leysa
- Present: ég leysi, þú leysir, hann/hún/það leysir, við leysum, þið leysið, þeir/þær/þau leysa
- Simple past: ég leysti, þú leystir, hann/hún/það leysti, við leystum, þið leystuð, þeir/þær/þau leystu
- Past participle: leyst (e.g., ég hef leyst mörg vandamál = I have solved many problems)
Why is it mörg vandamál and not margir/margar vandamál?
Because vandamál is a neuter noun. Adjectives and quantifiers must agree in gender, number, and case:
- many (masc. pl.): margir
- many (fem. pl.): margar
- many (neut. pl.): mörg ← required here to match neuter vandamál
