Questions & Answers about Hún er með níutíu og fjóra pakka.
Why is there an og between níutíu and fjóra?
In Icelandic, when you combine tens and units to make numbers like 94, you must put og (and) between them. So 94 is literally 'ninety and four'.
Does the number níutíu change its ending to match the noun?
No, the tens from 30 to 100 (like níutíu) are invariable. This means they never change their shape, regardless of the gender, case, or number of the noun they describe.
If níutíu doesn't change, why is the word for 'four' written as fjóra instead of just fjórir?
Even though the 'ninety' part doesn't change, the units part (numbers 1 to 4) still has to agree with the noun! Because the noun pakka is masculine and in the accusative case, the number four must also be in the masculine accusative form, which is fjóra.
Why are the packages in the accusative case here?
The phrase vera með (literally 'to be with') is very commonly used in Icelandic to mean 'to have'. The item that you have in this construction must always take the accusative case.
Is pakka singular or plural here? It looks just like the singular accusative form.
