Why is umsóknin one word, and where is the?

Umsóknin = umsókn + the definite ending -in.

So:

• umsókn = application
• umsóknin = the application

Icelandic usually puts the on the end of the noun instead of using a separate word the way English does.

In this sentence, umsóknin is the subject, so it is in the nominative singular. The noun umsókn is feminine.

• go through
• pass
• get approved
