Questions & Answers about Ég þoli ekki hávaða á morgnana.
Why is the word for noise hávaða here instead of its dictionary form hávaði?
The verb þola (to tolerate or to stand) requires the object to be in the accusative case. Hávaði is a weak masculine noun, and these nouns always change their -i ending to -a in the accusative case.
Can I say í morgun instead of á morgnana?
No, because they mean different things. Í morgun specifically means "this morning" and is used when talking about a completed action in the past. To talk about something that happens habitually "in the mornings", you must use á plus the plural definite noun, giving us á morgnana.
Why does morgunn look so different in the word morgnana?
Morgnana is the plural accusative form of morgunn with the definite article attached (literally "the mornings"). When morgunn becomes plural, the second u drops out, giving us the accusative plural morgna. Add the masculine plural definite article -na, and you get morgnana.
Why does ekki come after the verb þoli?
