Questions & Answers about Íslenskan verður auðveldari með æfingu.
Íslenskan is the definite form of the noun íslenska, meaning the Icelandic language / Icelandic.
- íslenska = Icelandic
- íslenskan = the Icelandic
In Icelandic, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.
Here, Íslenskan is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative singular definite form.
It is capitalized only because it is the first word of the sentence.
In Icelandic, language names are normally not capitalized in the middle of a sentence:
- Ég er að læra íslensku. = I am learning Icelandic.
So if this word appeared later in the sentence, it would normally be íslenskan, not Íslenskan.
