Questions & Answers about Hótelið er fullt í kvöld.

What does the ending -ið in hótelið mean?

The ending -ið is the definite article attached to the noun.

• hótel = a hotel (indefinite)
• hótelið = the hotel (definite)

In Icelandic, the definite article (the) is usually added as a suffix to the noun instead of being a separate word like in English.

Because hótel is a neuter noun, its definite nominative singular form is hótelið (the hotel as the subject of the sentence).

Why is it fullt and not full or fullur?
