Just imagine snow and ice all around, your nose being tickled by frost and yourself sleeping tight. Surprisingly, this is not a scene of movies similar to „Eight Below“(2006). This version is way more endearing and romantic. That is what we know as Ice Hotels.

You will learn personal pronouns, the infinitive and the present tense of a verb. Isn’t it great? Let’s start our lesson.
ENTALL – SINGULAR:
DEN – it (with nouns of masculine and feminine genders)
DET – it (with nouns of neuter gender)
FLERTALL – PLURAL:
We write an infinitive particle „å“ before the infinitive, for instance:
Usually the present tense (presens) is made by adding an ending -r to the infinitive.
Verbs are not inflected by pronouns or numbers. When saying either “I speak” or “you speak” and so on, we will always use the same verb form, only the pronoun will differ (I, you, etc)
Exercise 1. After mastering the grammar rules, choose a correct form of a pronoun (pronomen).
Excersize 2. After mastering the grammar rules, write in a present tense of a verb.
