Usages of skúffan
Ég skrúfa handfangið á skúffuna, en ein skrúfa dettur á gólfið.
I screw the handle onto the drawer, but one screw falls onto the floor.
Handfangið á einni skúffu er ekki beint, svo ég skrúfa fjórar skrúfur aðeins fastar.
The handle on one drawer isn’t straight, so I tighten four screws a bit more.
Ég set vatn í ketilinn og tek skeið úr skúffunni.
I put water in the kettle and take a spoon out of the drawer.
Skærin eru á borðinu, en límbandið er í skúffunni við tölvuna.
The scissors are on the table, but the tape is in the drawer by the computer.
Test yourself: What does skúffan mean?
