Questions & Answers about Hvað bragðast svona illa?
Why does the verb bragðast end in -st?
This is the middle voice. While the regular verb bragða means to actively taste something (like tasting soup to check the seasoning), adding -st creates bragðast, which means to possess a taste or "to taste" from the perspective of the food itself.
Why is the word for "bad" here illa instead of the neuter adjective illt?
The current lesson is about the pronouns eitthvað (something) and ekkert (nothing). How do they compare to hvað in this sentence?
Could I use svo instead of svona here?
