Questions & Answers about Ég þarf að hvíla mig eftir fundinn.
Because þurfa normally takes að + infinitive.
So:
- ég þarf = I need
- að hvíla = to rest
Together, ég þarf að hvíla means I need to rest.
You cannot normally leave out að here.
Hvíla is the infinitive, the basic dictionary form of the verb.
After að, Icelandic usually uses the infinitive:
- að hvíla = to rest
So this is similar to English to rest.
Because Icelandic often uses a reflexive idea here: literally, to rest myself.
So:
- hvíla mig = rest myself
- natural English translation: rest
English usually does not say I need to rest myself in this situation, but Icelandic commonly uses the object pronoun.
