mínútu

The Icelandic word "mínútu" means "minute" in English.


'Einu mínútu' utilizes the feminine singular accusative form to specify a time period negatively (not even one minute).

Hann stoppaði aðeins í augnablik, ekki einu sinni í eina mínútu.

He stopped only for a moment, not even for one minute.


Here, 'mínútu' changes to the plural form 'mínútur' in the accusative case because it refers to multiple minutes.

Við töluðum saman í tíu mínútur.

We talked together for ten minutes.


'Mínútu' is used here in the accusative singular form to express a duration of time (one minute).

Ég kem aftur eftir eina mínútu.

I will be back in one minute.
