Rei\u00f0i reidma\u00f0urinn er rei\u00f0ub\u00fainn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I constructed this silly sentence after having to look up rei\u00f0ub\u00fainn<\/strong> and becoming fixated on all the words that started with rei\u00f0-<\/strong>, and the fact that there are three different meanings it could impart depending on which root it came from – anger<\/em>, riding<\/em> and readiness<\/em>. Here’s a little bit of what I learned \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

ANGER<\/span>

READINESS<\/span>
\nrei\u00f0u\u00b7b\u00fainn<\/strong> adj<\/em> – ready, prepared<\/p>\n

There are a lot of -b\u00fainn<\/strong> words that show up as meaning ready<\/em>, and I can’t say I know exactly how they differ, but I imagine there are differences in nuance. Some others you may see:<\/p>\n

al\u00b7b\u00fainn<\/strong>
\nfull\u00b7b\u00fainn<\/strong>
\ntil\u00b7b\u00fainn<\/strong> (probably the most familiar one)
\nvi\u00f0\u00b7b\u00fainn<\/strong><\/p>\n

…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Now I’m not completely certain, but I think the roots of the words for ride<\/em> and ready<\/em> might be related, with ready<\/em> having to do with being prepared to ride or be transported (on horseback). The rei\u00f0<\/strong> root related to anger comes from the same place as the English wrath<\/em>. <\/p>\n

As a grammatical side note on my little sentence, I also got caught up on the form of the adjective. I used the weak form of rei\u00f0ur<\/strong> since it was modifying a definite noun, but then I wasn’t sure about rei\u00f0ub\u00fainn<\/strong>. I think the strong form is correct here, as it should be used when the adjective is in a predicate position (which just means it follows the verb and is modifying the subject of the sentence). But please correct me if I’m I’m wrong \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
