Questions & Answers about Við skoðum þetta nánar á morgun.
It uses the present tense (skoðum = we examine), but Icelandic often uses the present with a future time expression (á morgun = tomorrow) to talk about the future. You can also say:
- Við munum skoða þetta nánar á morgun. (we will)
- Við ætlum að skoða þetta nánar á morgun. (we intend/are going to)
Skoðum is 1st person plural present indicative of skoða (to examine/look over). Present:
- ég skoða
- þú skoðar
- hann/hún/það skoðar
- við skoðum
- þið skoðið
- þeir/þær/þau skoða
Past (just for contrast): við skoðuðum = we examined.
Both can be possible, but they feel a bit different:
- þetta = this/this thing (often the specific issue at hand, the thing we’re focused on now).
- það = it/that (more neutral or more distant). So Við skoðum þetta nánar á morgun sounds like “we’ll look at this (particular matter) more closely tomorrow.” Við skoðum það… is also fine if you just mean “it.”
