Questions & Answers about Núna ert þú með augabindið og sérð ekkert.
Why do we use ekkert here instead of another word for "no" or "none"?
Ekkert is the neuter singular form of the pronoun for "no" or "none". When used completely on its own (as an independent or substantive pronoun) to mean the general, abstract concept of "nothing", Icelandic always uses this neuter form. Here, it is the direct object of the verb sjá (to see).
Why does the sentence say ert ... með to mean "are wearing"?
The phrase vera með (literally "to be with") is the standard Icelandic way to talk about wearing accessories, holding things, or having something on your person. You use it for items like glasses, hats, backpacks, and blindfolds, rather than a direct verb for "wear".
What case is augabindið in after the preposition með?
It is in the accusative case. The preposition með triggers the accusative when it indicates carrying, holding, or wearing something. Because augabindi (blindfold) is a neuter noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its nominative form, and the -ð at the end is the attached definite article meaning "the".
Sérð looks very different from its dictionary form. What verb is this?
