I binge watch your videos from time to time because I want to learn Icelandic. In some of them you mention that certain things are to be found in the dictionary. So far, I have only been able to find dictionaries that simply translate, but do not give any information that one should/must know, for example, about the respective strong verbs, or also about the possible functions of the nouns within a sentence (nominative, genitive, etc.). The latter is not so difficult for me as a native German speaker, since we also know the concept of cases. The only thing we don't do is the using the genitive for indications of place. But I digress: I assume you are talking about an Oxford Dictionary-type dictionary. I don't very much need a translation dictionary / bilingual dictionary, but one that gives the indications I just mentioned. Maybe there is also one that includes idioms, or explains when which ambiguous word means what. The international phonetic script also helps me because I can read it and understand it; so it is also very useful if a dictionary contains it. Therefore the question: which dictionary can you recommend (English edition) and is there a technical term for this kind of dictionary/-ies? Thank you very much and your videos are gold! I'm just looking around for a dictionary to take the next step. I will still watch your videos as I am convinced that your videos in combination with a decent dictionary form a perfect basis to learn Icelandic. The only next level left is to take professional language lessons. Thank you for your easy to understand and well presented videos!
Thank you for your nice comments and I’m very glad you are finding my videos helpful! The best online dictionary that contains the forms I’m describing is found here: digicoll.library.wisc.edu/IcelOnline/Search.TEId.html As of right now I don’t know of any dictionaries that contain IPA except Wiktionary, which only has it for some words. There’s also an Icelandic-Icelandic dictionary that contains audio pronunciation of the words: islenskordabok.arnastofnun.is Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy studying!
@@icelandicforforeigners Thank you very much! I will look into it tomorrow! At the moment I don't have any further question, but If I have, I will write a comment.
@@icelandicforforeigners These online sources are gold worthy! Meanwhile, I noticed that dict.cc offers some inflections and conjugations as well, but there is still room for improvement. While continuing to learn Icelandic, I got some questions and ideas for a future video: You mentioned “bolla” (dumpling) as an exception of the double-l rule. But what about the “bolla”, the genitive of “bolli” (cup)? There is another occasion where the exception to this rule can be found, but it seems to follow another rule: place names like Hólland and Pólland. Is it so because these names are compound words? Might be interesting to make a video about it. Another “issue” I noticed, when I made a vocabulary list with all European countries, is that Liechtenstein is spelled exactly as in German and English. How is “ie” and “ch” to be pronounced in Icelandic? Those letters on there own, I know how to pronounce them, but not in these combinations.
In 1:35 you say that the 1st stem is 'Present Tense hann/hún/það', but in examples in 8:35 and after, you use the 1st stem for 'ég' instead of 'hann/hún/það'. Why?
can you make a video trying to explain more in a dictionary forms or how to make a sentence with those in a parentheses like fótlegg|ur its a masc noun but it has (-jar-ir-ja) are these in fem and neu forms? or its only masc but in different conjugations like past or future type of nouns? i have a dictionary and i see a lot of a fem noun or verb etc with lots of parentheses on the side it makes me confused, like stimpla is a verb but has (~,ði-ð) how can I use it in a sentence if I dont know the gender of it? I still struggle to be able to form a daily sentence or introduce myself in Icelandic but I can read and kinda understand what I read or if I'm watching a show but I cant write or speak it like how I do in English, I always have to translate what I want and it makes me feel I'm not getting any better :( because I'm relying on translators
Nouns only have one gender each, either masculine, feminine, or neuter. The different forms are case inflections. You can check out my video on Icelandic Cases to learn how those work, then watch my videos on masculine, feminine, and neuter noun declensions which explain how to use the parentheses to predict the declension of the nouns :)

You're right, I'm not sure why I did that :P The dictionary form has the hann/hún/það form
Holy shit-a-moley this is hard
