Questions & Answers about Við förum á fund í hádeginu.

What exactly does Við mean here, and is it always translated as we?

Við is the subject pronoun we in Icelandic.

• It is 1st person plural, nominative case, so it is used when we are the subject of the sentence.
• Other forms of the same pronoun are:
  • okkur – us (accusative and dative)
  • okkar – our / of us (genitive)

Examples:

• Við förum. – We go.
• Hann sér okkur. – He sees us.
• Þetta er bíllinn okkar. – This is our car.

In normal Icelandic, you do not drop the subject pronoun the way you sometimes can in other languages, so you pretty much always say við for we as a subject.
