Questions & Answers about Á launaseðlinum sé ég bæði útborgunina og launin mín.

Why is it Á launaseðlinum? What case is launaseðlinum?

Launaseðlinum is in the dative singular definite.

Here, á means on in the sense of location, not movement. With many Icelandic prepositions, including á, you use:

• dative for a fixed location
• accusative for movement toward/onto something

So:

• á launaseðlinum = on the payslip
• compare with a movement example: á launaseðilinn = onto the payslip

The base noun is launaseðill (payslip), and the definite dative singular form becomes launaseðlinum.
