Questions & Answers about Alþjóðavæðir netið fjölmiðlana?

How does the suffix -væða work in the verb alþjóðavæðir?
The suffix -væða is added to nouns or adjectives to mean 'to -ize' or 'to -ify'. Here, it attaches to alþjóð (international community) to create alþjóðavæða (to globalize). In this sentence, it takes the third-person singular present ending -ir to match the subject netið.
Since alþjóðavæða is a weak verb, how would it look in the past tense?
Verbs ending in -væða are weak verbs that take a dental suffix in the past tense. The past tense of this verb is alþjóðavæddi (globalized). This reliable pattern applies to all -væða derivations, meaning they all conjugate exactly like einkavæddi (privatized) or tölvuvæddi (computerized).
What are the component parts of the word fjölmiðlana?
It is a compound of the prefix fjöl- (multi- or mass) and the noun miðill (medium or channel). Together they form fjölmiðill (mass media).
Why does fjölmiðlana end in -ana in this sentence?
Fjölmiðill is a strong masculine noun. As the direct object of the sentence, it must be in the accusative case. The indefinite plural accusative is fjölmiðla, and adding the definite masculine plural accusative suffix -na gives us fjölmiðlana (the media).
