Questions & Answers about Við æfum oftar núna.
How do we get the word oftar?
Oftar means "more often" and is the comparative form of the adverb oft (often). In Icelandic, you typically add "-ar" to the base adverb to make the comparison, similar to adding "-er" in English.
Does the ending of oftar change depending on who is practicing?
No. Because oftar is an adverb describing the verb æfum, it never changes its ending to match gender or number. It will always be oftar whether "he", "she", or "we" are doing the action.
Why does the verb æfa become æfum in this sentence?
Verbs in Icelandic change their endings based on who is doing the action. Because the subject is við (we), the verb takes the standard first-person plural present tense ending "-um" to become æfum.
What is the difference between núna and nú?
Both mean "now", but núna is a bit stronger and emphasizes "at this current time" in contrast to the past. Nú is often used more broadly or as a filler word. Using núna here highlights the change in the routine.
