Questions & Answers about Við sjáum að þeir fresta ekki fluginu.

Does the word order change because this is a subordinate clause starting with að?
No, and that is a helpful feature of Icelandic! While some languages shift the negative word around in subordinate clauses, Icelandic keeps the same Subject-Verb-ekki order. You say þeir fresta ekki (they do not postpone) in both a standalone sentence and after að (that).
Why is the word for flight in the dative case (fluginu) instead of the accusative?
This is because the verb fresta (to postpone) is a dative-taking verb. It forces its object to be in the dative case. Fluginu is the dative, definite (the) form of the neuter noun flug.
How is the ending built on fluginu?
The base noun is flug (flight). In the dative case, it takes an -i ending, becoming flugi. To say the flight, you attach the neuter dative definite article -nu, giving you fluginu.
Why does the sentence use þeir for they instead of þau?
Þeir is the masculine plural pronoun, so we know this group of people doing the postponing consists only of men. If it were a mixed-gender group, you would use the neuter plural þau.
