Questions & Answers about Ég tek mína eigin glósubók með mér á fundinn.

What is tek? What is the dictionary form of the verb?

Tek is the 1st person singular present tense of taka, meaning to take.

So:

• ég tek = I take
• þú tekur = you take
• hann/hún/það tekur = he/she/it takes

It is an irregular verb, so the stem changes from tak- to tek- in the present singular.

Why is it mína and not mín?

Because glósubók is the direct object of tek, and direct objects after taka are normally in the accusative.

Also, glósubók is feminine singular, so the possessive adjective minn has to agree with it in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here that gives:

• mína = feminine, singular, accusative

Compare:

• mín glósubók = my notebook, nominative
• mína glósubók = my notebook, accusative
