Verb[edit]
langa (weak verb, third-person singular past indicative langaði, supine langað)
- (impersonal) to want
- Hvað langar þig í? — Mig langar í nammi og ís!
- What do you want? — I want candy and ice cream!
- Mig langar heim. ― I want to go home.
- Hana langaði að hitta foreldra mína. ― She wanted to meet my parents.
Usage notes[edit]
- The person who wants to do something is in the accusative case and the verb is conjugated in the third-person singular. When you are referring to an object you want, langa í (“to want, to have an appetite for something”) is used. When you want to perform a verb, the verb langa is used.
