Usages of textinn
Ef ég sé villu í textanum, skrifa ég athugasemd við textann.
If I see an error in the text, I write a comment on the text.
Fyrirsögnin á textanum segir ekki allt, svo ég les fyrsta kaflann líka.
The heading of the text does not say everything, so I read the first chapter too.
Við byrjum á stuttum texta og förum síðan skref fyrir skref í gegnum lengri kafla.
We start with a short text and then go step by step through a longer chapter.
Í lok tímans gefur kennarinn okkur upplýsingar um næsta texta og nýjan orðaforða.
At the end of the lesson the teacher gives us information about the next text and new vocabulary.
Ef fyrirsögnin er áhugaverð, les ég allan textann og skrifa síðan stutta þýðingu.
If the heading is interesting, I read the whole text and then write a short translation.
Ég skil textann betur þegar ég þýði hann ekki orð fyrir orð.
I understand the text better when I do not translate it word for word.
Ég les textann hægt, þannig að ég skil hann betur.
I read the text slowly, so that I understand it better.
Test yourself: What does textinn mean?
