Usages of hnéð
Eftir langan dag er öxlin mín þreytt og mér er illt í hnénu.
After a long day my shoulder is tired and my knee hurts.
Hún segir að öxlin sé ekki eins slæm og hnéð, svo hún getur samt gengið heim.
She says that the shoulder is not as bad as the knee, so she can still walk home.
Test yourself: What does hnéð mean?
