vera fyrir

Icelandic

Etymology

From vera (meaning "to be") + fyrir (meaning "in the way").

Verb

vera fyrir

  1. to be in the way
    Þú ert fyrir.
    You are in the way.

    You are in my way.
    Er ég fyrir þér?

Usage notes
  • This verb phrase is a little difficult, as the basic phrase vera fyrir ("be in the way") can split up throughout the sentence, e.g example er ég fyrir þér? (am I in your way?).
  • Saying er ég þér fyrir (am I [to] you in the way) meaning "am I in your way" can be said, though it sounds archaic.
