Which description fits the word Konurnar in the sentence Konurnar eru hér (The women are here)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Konurnar is the nominative plural with the article attached
- Step 1: The verb eru (are) is plural, so its subject is plural and in the nominative. Step 2. Kona is woman, konur is the nominative plural, and konurnar adds the article. Answer: Konurnar is the nominative plural with the article attached. Why not the others: Subjects of eru are not in the accusative, dative or genitive here, and a singular noun would take er instead.
