Icelandic Questions

How to say what, where, when, why, how, etc. in Icelandic

Most Icelandic question words start with hv:

Where = hvar

Where from = hvaðan

When = hvenær

What = hvað

Why = hvers vegna

How = hvernig

Who = hver

However, hver can be declined as follows:

To construct questions, simply invert the verb. For example:

Ég er = I am

Er ég? = am I?

When this happens with Þú, it becomes attached to the verb. The þ is either lost or changes:

Þú ert = You are

Ertu? = Are you

Hvað segjrðu? = What do you say?
