Questions & Answers about Á morgun verður heiðskírt og mjög milt veður.
Why is verður used here instead of the future tense of the verb "to be"?
Icelandic doesn't have a distinct future tense for the verb vera (to be). Instead, the verb verða (to become) is heavily used to express "will be". When talking about what the weather will be like later on, you will almost always see verður.
Why do the adjectives heiðskírt and milt both end in -t?
They are describing the noun veður (weather). Because veður is a neuter noun, any adjectives modifying it must take the neuter suffix -t. Their base dictionary forms (which are masculine) are heiðskír and mildur.
Why is the neuter form milt spelled without a "d" when its base form is mildur?
When adding the neuter -t ending to adjectives that have -ld or -nd in their root, the d is dropped to make the word easier to pronounce. If we kept the d, it would be spelled mildt, which is awkward to say, so it simplifies to milt.
Why does á morgun mean "tomorrow"? Doesn't it mean "in the morning"?
While it literally translates to "on morning", the fixed phrase á morgun is the standard Icelandic way to say "tomorrow". If you want to talk about "this morning" (referring to the past), you use the phrase í morgun. If you specifically mean "tomorrow morning", you would generally say í fyrramálið.
