Usages of hátíðin
Á sumrin förum við oft á litla hátíð í borginni.
In the summer we often go to a small festival in the city.
Á hátíðinni í fyrra vorum við úti allan tímann, en í ár fórum við inn.
At the festival last year we were outside the whole time, but this year we went inside.
Á þessari hátíð er sviðið stærra en sviðið sem við sáum í fyrra.
At this festival the stage is bigger than the stage that we saw last year.
Það hangir stórt plakat um hátíðina í glugganum á kaffihúsinu.
There is a big poster about the festival hanging in the café window.
Við fórum líka á svipaða hátíð í sumar, en þá var veðrið miklu betra.
We also went to a similar festival in the summer, but then the weather was much better.
Á næstu hátíð vil ég sitja nær sviðinu, því ég heyrði trommarann ekki vel þar sem við sátum í salnum.
At the next festival I want to sit nearer the stage, because I did not hear the drummer well where we were sitting in the hall.
Ef það verður aftur þrumuveður á næstu hátíð, vitum við allavega hvar skýlið er.
If there is a thunderstorm again at the next festival, at least we know where the shelter is.
