Questions & Answers about Uppskriftin er á síðunni.
Because Icelandic often attaches the definite article to the end of the noun as a suffix.
- uppskrift = a recipe
- uppskriftin = the recipe
Here the speaker is referring to a specific, known recipe, so the definite form is used.
uppskrift is feminine. In the nominative singular definite, many feminine nouns take the ending -in (or -in attached to the stem), giving uppskriftin.
The exact definite endings vary by gender and declension class, but gender is the reason you don’t see a masculine-style ending like -inn here.
Because uppskriftin is the grammatical subject of the sentence, and Icelandic subjects are typically in the nominative case.
The verb er (is) links the subject to a location phrase (á síðunni).
er is the present tense, 3rd person singular form of the verb að vera (to be).
It agrees with a singular subject like uppskriftin. There’s no separate word for am/are/is—it’s all forms of að vera.
