The verb sleppa means "to skip," "leave out," or "omit." The activity or item being skipped takes the dative case (þágufall).
Notice the dative definite endings in these examples, such as -num (masculine), -nni (feminine), and -nu (neuter):
| I want to skip the introduction. | Mig langar að sleppa innganginum. |
| Are you skipping the choir practice today? | Ætlar þú að sleppa kóræfingunni í dag? |
| Let's skip the final act. | Við skulum sleppa lokaatriðinu. |
When omitting multiple things, all items take the dative case:
| We are going to skip the preface and the introduction. | Við ætlum að sleppa formálanum og innganginum. |
| The boys are skipping the warm-up and the coffee break. | Strákarnir ætla að sleppa upphituninni og kaffihléinu. |
You can also use dative pronouns, such as þessum (this), with the skipped item:
| The teacher told me to skip this agenda item. | Kennarinn sagði mér að sleppa þessum dagskrárlið. |
