Final clauses
If an imperative sentence is placed into another clause in Islandish, it turns into a clause of purpose (final clause). This grammatical construction is therefore called "purposive". The purpose in the final clause always takes place after the action in the main clause (imperative only has one tense).
Crpľabek znaknet prklopletek. The student should understand finance. (imperative)
Mňerčem crpľabka znaknet prklopletek. I help the student so that he understands finance. (purposive)
Nirem de rukňiti usprhne. I will punish you so that you stop lying.
To nám jaroščedl riknet gradňu. I took him here so that he sees the truth.
Puka nám jaroščedl mama to riknet. I took the boy here so that mom can see him.
It is also used to express polite orders:
Jabre vzi rabcu. Come to the office! (imperative)
Pečem jabre vzi rabcu. Please come to the office. / I ask you to come to the office. (causative)
Near future
A purposive with the verb breti (to go) and the same subject in the main and subordinate clause expresses near future.
Brem šelčene Querítelu. I am going to live in Querítel (soon, I am preparing to...)
Breš vebrde vzi čiľi. You are going to go home.
Causative
A purposive with the verb breti and different subjects in the main and subordinate clause expresses causative.
Brem žačet. I make him eat.
Brdem práče. I will make you laugh.
