Skólinn veitir upplýsingar.

Because -inn is the definite article attached to the noun.

• skóli = a school / school
• skólinn = the school

In Icelandic, the word for the is usually added to the end of the noun instead of written as a separate word.

So:

• Skóli veitir upplýsingar would sound unnatural here
• Skólinn veitir upplýsingar = The school provides information

veitir is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb veita.

That means it matches a singular subject like skólinn.

A useful mini-pattern:

• ég veiti = I provide
• þú veitir = you provide
• hann / hún / það veitir = he / she / it provides

So in this sentence:

• skólinn = the subject
• veitir = provides

This is a very common thing learners notice.

In Icelandic, upplýsingar is usually used in the plural, even when English would simply say information.

So:

• upplýsingar = information / details

Even though it is grammatically plural in Icelandic, it is often translated by the singular-looking English word information.

This is normal and idiomatic Icelandic.

Here, upplýsingar is the direct object of veitir, so it is in the accusative.

The verb veita commonly takes an accusative object:

• veita upplýsingar = provide information
• veita hjálp = provide help

For this noun, the plural form upplýsingar looks the same in both nominative plural and accusative plural, so you do not see a visible change here.

There are two main clues:

1. Word order
   Icelandic usually puts the subject before the verb in a basic statement:

   • Skólinn veitir upplýsingar

2. Verb meaning and grammar
   The verb veita means to provide / give, so the thing doing the providing is the subject, and the thing being provided is the object.

So:

• Skólinn = the school = subject
• veitir = provides = verb
• upplýsingar = information = object

Usually, no, not in normal Icelandic for this meaning.

If you are talking about a specific school or about the school in a general institutional sense, skólinn is the natural form.

Using bare skóli here would usually sound incomplete or unnatural unless it appeared in a special context, such as a heading, dictionary example, or very unusual style.

So the normal sentence is:

• Skólinn veitir upplýsingar.

Yes, veita is a common verb, and it can mean several related things depending on context, such as:

• provide
• grant
• give
• offer

In this sentence, provide is the most natural meaning.

Common examples:

• veita upplýsingar = provide information
• veita aðstoð = provide assistance
• veita leyfi = grant permission

So it is a useful verb to learn.

This sentence uses the most basic Icelandic statement order:

• Subject + Verb + Object

So:

• Skólinn
  • veitir
    • upplýsingar

Yes, Icelandic can also place the verb earlier in some contexts, especially after another element is put first:

• Í dag veitir skólinn upplýsingar. = Today the school provides information.

But in a simple neutral sentence, the order you see here is the standard one.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

• skólinn ≈ SKOH-lin
• veitir ≈ VAY-tir
• upplýsingar ≈ UHP-lee-sing-ar

A few useful notes:

• ó is a long vowel, somewhat like o in go, but not exactly the same.
• ei in veitir sounds like ay in say.
• Icelandic pronunciation is not always obvious from spelling, so listening to native audio is very helpful.

Usually, dictionaries list the singular form upplýsing as the base form, but in real usage learners very often meet upplýsingar because that is the common way to say information.

So you may see:

• dictionary form: upplýsing
• very common actual usage: upplýsingar

This is a good example of a word where the form most useful in everyday reading is not always the singular dictionary headword.

Yes. The exact English translation can vary a little depending on context.

Skólinn veitir upplýsingar could be translated as:

• The school provides information
• The school gives information
• The school supplies information
• The school provides details

The Icelandic sentence itself is straightforward; the best English wording depends on style and context.
