Unlike singular possessives, the plural possessive pronouns okkar (our) and ykkar (your, plural) never change form. They do not decline for gender, number, or grammatical case.
To express shared ownership, simply place okkar or ykkar immediately after the noun. As with most Icelandic possessives, the noun itself must take the definite article (the attached "the").
Our (okkar)
Use okkar to describe things belonging to us.
| Our roommate is always very tidy. | Meðleigjandinn okkar er alltaf mjög snyrtilegur. |
| Our cat often sleeps under the sofa. | Kötturinn okkar sefur oft undir sófanum. |
Your (ykkar)
Use ykkar when speaking to two or more people about something they share.
| Who is your roommate? | Hver er meðleigjandinn ykkar? |
| Is your shared home always this quiet? | Er sambýlið ykkar alltaf svona rólegt? |
Shared living
Because okkar and ykkar are invariable, they remain exactly the same whether you are talking about singular costs, plural objects, or items in a different grammatical case.
| Our cost is shared. | Kostnaðurinn okkar er sameiginlegur. |
| Are your things shared? | Eru hlutirnir ykkar sameiginlegir? |
| Our agreement is very good. | Samkomulagið okkar er mjög gott. |
| She pays half of our rent. | Hún borgar helminginn af leigunni okkar. |
