### Hosting
**matarboðið** is the dinner party — boð is an invitation, so a matarboð is literally a food-invitation. **partýið** is its informal twin for the louder kind. {{item:1065840}}

### On the table
| word | meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **hrísgrjónin** | the rice (plural) |
| **kjúklingurinn** | the chicken |
| **baunin** | the bean |
| **laxinn** | the salmon |
| **bollan** | the bun |

Note **hrísgrjónin** is grammatically plural — the rice ARE. **bollan** (the bun, feminine) is not bollinn (the cup, masculine) from lesson 28 — bolludagur, bun day in February, is named after her.

### Mixing and giving
**blanda** (+ dative) is to mix: {{item:1065861}} With the double-object pattern from the last lesson: gefðu gestunum laxinn.

### The occasion
**stundin** is the moment, the while — eiga góða stund saman is to have a good time together. **afmælisgjöfin** is the birthday present you bring.
