Questions & Answers about Sérð þú mig?
Why is the word for "me" mig instead of ég?
Just like in English, pronouns change when they are the object of an action. Ég means "I", but because you are the one being seen, you need the accusative form mig ("me"). The verb sjá (to see) always takes the accusative case for its direct object.
Why is there no word for "do" in this question?
Icelandic doesn't use helper words like "do" to form questions. Instead, you just flip the normal order of the subject and the verb. Þú sérð means "You see", so swapping them to Sérð þú turns it into the question "Do you see?".
What is the dictionary form of the verb sérð?
The base form (infinitive) is sjá (to see). It is an irregular verb, which is why it looks so different when it changes to match þú (you).
