Questions & Answers about Við sættumst loksins eftir langan dag og borðuðum kvöldmat saman.
What does við mean here?
Here við means we.
That can be confusing for English speakers because it looks a bit like it might mean with, but Icelandic við is the pronoun we. The preposition with is usually með.
So:
- Við sættumst = We made up / We reconciled
- með vini mínum = with my friend
What verb is sættumst from?
Sættumst is the past tense, 1st person plural form of að sættast.
So the basic dictionary form is:
- að sættast = to reconcile, make up, become friends again
In this sentence:
- við sættumst = we reconciled / we made up
This is a very common kind of question because the form sættumst looks quite different from the dictionary form sættast.
Why does sættumst end in -st?
