Usage notesEdit

• One peculiar property of the verb [að] fara ("[to] go") is that it can be repeated ad infinitum, as að fara also means "to be about to [be going to]...". For example:

  Ég er að fara að fara.

  I'm about to go.

  Ég er að fara að fara að fara.

  I'm about to be going to go.

  Ég er að fara að fara að fara að fara.

  I'm about to be going to be going to go.

  and it can be repeated ad nauseam. This is comparable to the English word that.
