punktur og basta

Icelandic

Alternative forms

punktur og pasta (common among children)

Etymology

From Italian punto e basta (literally “period and that's it”) via Danish punktum og basta.

Basta is not used in other contexts in modern Icelandic, and so many speakers (particularly children) instead say punktur og pasta (literally “period and pasta”).

Interjection

punktur og basta

and that's final!, end of discussion!

Synonyms

hana nú
ekkert múður

Derived terms

punktur og basta, bannað að breyta (“no takesy backsies”)
