nú

The Icelandic word "nú" means "now" in English.

Here, 'nú' is used as an adverb to signify the current moment, similar to 'now' in English.

Nú er komið að veislu.

Now it's time for the feast.

In this sentence, 'nú' conveys emphasis or confirmation, akin to saying 'indeed' or 'really' for stress.

Það er nú skrítið hvernig þetta gerðist.

It is indeed strange how this happened.

Used here, 'nú' indicates a realization or a shift in understanding, equivalent to saying 'now' to denote comprehension or realization in the present.

Ég skil nú hvað þú meinar.

Now I understand what you mean.
