I wonder about these two sentences regarding efsta stig sterk og veik

Læknirinn hjálpaði veikustum sjúklingi fyrst.

Læknirinn hjálpaði veikasta sjúklingnum fyrst.

There are 3 questions essentialy:

1. Are both grammatically correct?
2. If so, what's the difference in meaning? If any.
3. Is one more common than the other?

Great thanks to all!

Hi guys!

I am trying to fix the difference between hurð and dyr. I've researched a little and I get that hurð is the actual thing, while dyr is the opening. So hopefully I understand it correct that "Ég mála hurðina" makes sense, while probably "Ég mála dyrnar" not so much...

However, I wonder about specific uses, phrase-wise of these words. Are both used equally much or any prefernce?

- Hurðin er opin. vs Dyrnar eru opnar.

- Þetta er opin hurð. vs Þetta eru opnar dyr (opened entrance right?). Which one would be more common to say?

- Ég lokaði hurðinni. vs Ég lokaði dyrunum.

Hann beið við dyrnar. vs Hann beið við hurðina.

Sort of the same question. Are both in use or one is more common for each pair?

- hurðin á skápnum not dyrnar á skápnum. Are both the same here really?

- dyrnar að herberginu vs hurðin að herberginu (it's more pf a preposition question... Why the heck it is á and að....)

- Hann stóð í dyrnum (exactly in). vs Hann stóð við hurðina (by the door). But can I still say Hann stóð við dyrnar. (by the entrance sort of)?

- fyrir utan dyrnar vs fyrir utan hurðina

- Hún gekk inn um dyrnar. vs Hún gekk inn um hurðina. (in case you are a ghost =)

- bankaðu á hurðina vs bankaðu á dyrnar. Are both possible really??

Thank you all in advance, gott fólk!

Hello, language lovers! I wonder about this sentence:

Ég á eftir að fá mér hund á næsta ári.

Does it mean "I intend"? Shouldn't it then be synonymous to ætla? Can I say: Ég á að fá mér hund á næsta ári. If I mean "I should". And another questions... Would á eftir að fá mér be the same as saying Ég mun fá mér ...

Thanks to all!
