Questions & Answers about Það er líklegt að hún komi samt, þó að það rigni.
Because both verbs are in the subjunctive.
In this sentence, Icelandic uses the subjunctive after:
- líklegt að = likely that
- þó að = although / even though
So:
- hún komi = that she come / that she will come
- það rigni = that it rain / that it is raining
The indicative forms would be:
- hún kemur
- það rignir
A learner should notice that certain expressions regularly trigger the subjunctive, and this sentence gives you two of them in one example.
There are actually two different uses of að here.
In líklegt að hún komi
- að introduces a content clause: that she may come / that she will come
In þó að það rigni
- þó að is a fixed conjunction meaning although / even though
So the first að is basically that, while the second is part of the conjunction þó að.
