er

er

"Er" in Icelandic means "is" (third-person singular present form of "to be").

Here, 'er' is used as a verb meaning 'am', part of the verb 'vera' (to be) in its present tense.

Ég er kennari.

I am a teacher.

Here, 'er' is used as a verb meaning 'is', again from the verb 'vera' (to be) in its present tense.

Hvar er bókin?

Where is the book?

In this sentence, 'er' is used twice, each time representing 'is' from the verb 'vera' in the present tense, emphasizing its versatility in being used in complex statements.

Það sem er sagt er satt.

What is said is true.
