I'm very very interested
My wife is Icelandic, came up to me in a bar and asked my full name, she said 'I am not letting you get away ''. That was twenty years ago. Crazy women.
that was beautiful she's defff a keeper, love straight to the point women
Great woman!
Crazy as in a good way in life and bed? Or crazy in a bad way??
That's quite a Viking woman.
I witnessed a similar situation with a German gay. He replied the 🚺; nein, nein, nein. The lady thought he was threatening to call the police.
You forgot the part where she beats you in armwrestling, and you discover she's a Crossfit champion and her father lifts giant boulders for fun. Her name is Thorsdottir, you should have known.
Women here are stronger than most men in other parts of the world, and men even stronger.

Best comment on TH-cam ever, thanks! Had me laughing out loud
I was deployed to Iceland for a while. Had a friend who dated an Icelandic woman. She took him home to meet her parents. When she went out of the room, her parents told him they hoped he enjoyed dating their less intelligent daughter, because she only spoke 4 languages and their other one spoke 7.
what a horrible thing to say about your own daughter... 4 languages is a lot everywhere.
lmao i can't...
Is this story real? I am sorry I have never heard this in my life.
OMG
Really
Wow
You know you're dating an icelandic woman when she's from Iceland
Wise
Who would have guessed
@@zetjet9901 Right?
I love this fucking comment hahahaha
@@julius-thewiseloner7040 You want a scholarship?
You know you are dating an Icelandic woman when her last name ends ''dóttir''.
Philip Cooper new friend here
I have two great grandmothers who were sisters named Hendrixdochter. They were Dutch. Using Patronymics is a very old custom among the Nordic and Germanic peoples. The names used to change with each generation. One great grandfather was Cornelis Aertsen. His son was Peter Cornelisen. His daughter was Belitje Cornelisdochter. It got very confusing for the English because there could be many people with the same names so some added the place they were from like van der Bilt (from or of the Bilt)
Ugh, whenever I travel with my family and we are in a foreign airport, they'd always ask why our last names don't match. Annoying as hell!!!
@@robertcuminale1212 in german Tochter = daughter
it may be Norwegian as well
Im from iceland and my grandpa (my mothers father) is one of 16 children and my father is one of 16 children as well. I really need to be careful when it comes to my dating life.
Then you need to visti eastern europe more often . We love viking looking men
How did that happen? That is an insane number of kids.

@Adrían Þjóðvarðurson I thought she was younger. Hrafna is 20.
What an amazing country! Such a beautiful scenery! Would love to visit Iceland! ❤️
love it, learning something new and adding humor to it. bravo guys.
This was SO much fun!! Thank you guys so much, this was amazing❤️❤️❤️ ahhh! 🇮🇸
You're very beautiful
You did a good portrayal. Thank you.
You did a good job!

That actually seems like a top date, an attractive, friendly, chilled out girl who likes getting outdoors and enjoys a social drink. Keep doing what your doing Iceland, you got this.
I'm sure dating an icelandic woman would be fun and it would most likely never become a boring relationship
Yup, and don't turn into one of those Buzzfeed feminist bitches
Nooooo......stop defiling your precious blood-line!
Look at the jews!
They too don't procreate with non-jews!!

Stop mingling with outsiders, apart from your distant relatives in Scandinavia, of course - as long as they are healthy, white and sound minded.

So true hello 👋
it was really interesting and funny! thank you.
This is sooooo great! 😂
wait; hook-up culture is big and also almost everyone is related..........
You just made a very valid yet disturbing case....
Usually afterwards in awkward ways. But it's not as common as you'd think. Nowadays we totally check beforehand. And we usually consider anything further related than 4-5 generations to be fine. After all we're literally all related. 7 generations is quite common (that goes back to the 1700s).
Very true. My husband and I are 6th generation related. That's distant enough, no birth defects if we have kids and no chance of us being at the same family reunion as kids!
If you marry someone from the same country as you, you guys are probably 5th cousins.
I haven't seen that at all, never heard of it either.
From my experience dating some Icelandic girls in Denmark:
- They only take the initiavite in Iceland. When they're abroad, men are expected to do the first move, as usual. In the best case, what can happen is that if they feel like they want to sleep with somebody that night and you are considered acceptable for the task and available, they may tell you directly that after the date they want to go to your place etc, but this doesn't imply they're interested in you. You must be aware of this behaviour (which is in general true for Scandinavian) and accept it or it will lead to unpleasant situations.
- They may be quite picky , even in Iceland... Don't believe that you go to Iceland and girls will go after you just for being an outsider.
Good thing: they are really friendly for being Scandinavians, they talk to people and don't get spooked if you talk to them before alcohol kicks in.
night and you are considered acceptable for the task and available," dammma haha thats osunds sad asf
Icelanders are not Scandinavian.
this is like heaven. my mind doesn`t accept this video and what you wrote. it is against the flow of life. and i look like the guy in this video. holy jesus i will look up the flights to rejkvajik. and i know FOR SURE, when i go there, it will be NOTHING like the video and what you wrote, it sounds too good to be true!!!
I had once sex with an Icelandic girl and she took all iniative and was very straightforward with her sexual intentions. This was in Thailand where I met her and I have actually never been to Iceland
@@asbisiperhaps not from a government or geological standpoint, but linguistically, culturally, and historically (they moved from Scandinavia) they very much are Scandinavian.
I nearly spat my tea out laughing! Excellent!
This was really fun. Good job.
Such a beautiful country, with beautiful girls as well
I never knew about the cousin app, that’s so crazy!
Same here. I would've never thought an app like that to be made.
Because it's fake
lmfao, It isn't fake. Its called Íslendingabók.
It´s not real. We do have a thing called íslendingabókinn, but it’s for geneology and was never intended for any kinda incest checking thing. I guess you could use it that way, but it was not made for that.
@@Fanney47 it is now
They need to start using it Ashkenazi they have a high rate of genetic defects some say because of incest to keep the money in the family that's the old theorem however on the more modern error I will have to say adultery and when those kids that are a product of it hook up later on in life not knowing that they share DNA because of what their parents did
Wow, the very best out of all your clips here!!!
Amazingly interesting.. ans soo natural!
Really fun to watch. Nice job.
Damn, Iceland looks like a good place to find dates, cause I can't make the first move 😅😂

I think I need to move to Iceland 🇮🇸!!! Fascinating country and culture.
Ah, this is a breathtakingly stunning country! Such a pleasure to watch your videos!
I've been to Iceland and have nothing but good things to say about the country and the people. The people were especially friendly to me and crime is pretty much non existent. I was even able to fool one of them in the mall, she thought I was from Iceland and not a tourist until I finally spoke and told her in English that I didn't understand a word she was saying to me. She smiled and was a little embarrassed but we still kept talking but in English now.
I am from America and was touring with a group and had some free time on my hands and thought I would walk to the mall.
I really like this episode. And the icelandic language sounds so beautiful to me :)
🤣 Love it, sounds like it will be a perfect fit for me!
So very true .... all of it! My first real girlfriend was Icelandic, and you have basically described her in the first 2/3 of this video.
I must find an Icelandic girl as soon as possible
Well, i live in Sweden and have some single icelandic friends if yall wanna make the trip to viking-land.

it's pretty "cool" there

Thank you Marina for uploading a video about dating an Icelandic woman and guide to Iceland

The first one made me laugh so hard XD
"i did not sign up for this" XD
Okay i need a ticket for Iceland NOW !!!!!!!!
Awesome video guys.
Very charming :) Thank you for the video.
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES. Oh! Norway and Sweden next! ♡♡♡
I agree that they should Norway and Sweden next.They should cover the Baltic states as well.
And Estonia please
Don't forget Finland.
@DarthVader The racism is very selective here. If you are from a western country and have western values you're fine. If you are against western values and spit on them, you find racism. The refugees who come here with their middle fingers up are the reason for that poll result. We don't want to end up like some other European countries.
@DarthVader If you are from USA then you should be fine. Although I saw a situation in my home town where a guy was shouting "go back where you came from, we don't want you here", and then the black guy responded "USA you mean?" I was positively surprised that the shouter actually apologized for thinking him as refugee solely because of skin color. Ironically the racism here is mostly not based on race. It's discrimination based on country of origin.
The comments here are mostly against Middle Easterns if you've noticed, so is the racism. Police in Germany just arrested a guy with Middle Eastern name that raped under aged girls here. He escaped from Finland to Germany but it didn't help. Result is that refugees in a city of Oulu (place of committed crimes) are now afraid to go out. News like this increase racism here.
Statistically both Iraqis and Afgans commit sex crimes about 41 times more than native Finns here according to recent police statistics and are dominating the statistics clearly. That is the main cause of racism. That's 2,7% of the men arriving from those countries so not everyone from there is a rapist but the sudden increase is a problem that has alarmed the police and politicians, and rightfully so.
0:55 I'm DEAD 😂 I had to pause the video, I was laughing out loud so much.
The cousin app is mostly because you don't inherit the family name, as explained later in the video. So no other way to know whether you are related.
Gives a whole new meaning to Long Distance Relationship.
Fascinating Marina! Got to know many new facts about Iceland!! Beautiful people in this video!!😘
Man, exactly my kind of environment haha. Much love from Brazil.
icelandic random person: "yooo, i slept with that girl too, bro...how was she? we are stomach brothers now"

From all the videos I've seen about Iceland and her culture, I sure would love an opportunity to live and work there for at least a year to experience life there. I think it'll be very enjoyable and mind-blowing, especially with all that beautiful-beyond-words landscape.
Best ad ever to get single guys flocking to Iceland.

Third cousins? Smash.
Second cousin is my safe base.
I thought that too, and i'm not even icelandic
So second cousins are when your parents are cousins but third is when your grandparents are cousins?
@@dingdong475 Yep. Then your second cousin is your parents' cousin's kid. You and your second cousin share the same great-grandma, though. (It's 2am and I might have miscalculated here)
@@NoctLightCloud so your parents parents parents siblings child's childs children is your third cousin but your parent's parent's siblings childrens children is your second cousin. Ok all clear now.
Honestly I have always dream of having a future with an Iceland woman, but watching this videos makes me want to be with them more honestly, Feeling Blessed ❤️
I'm going to check how much do flight tickets to Iceland cost.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO !!!!! I NEED TO VISIT ICELAND.
Hey! That's Hrafna! Nice to see her here :)
Very good video! You highlighted the things that foreigners would find most odd about Iceland and demystified them. BTW, students in Australia also address their teachers and professors by their first name. I found that very odd but eventually got used to it.
Well, same goes for Uruguay. And as Spanish (our native language) has two different pronouns to address a person, the fact that we use the one for close relationships makes us even more informal. I mean, we're not firends with our teachers or professors but we have a very friendly relationship with them, and at university some classes are so small that the professor calls everyone by their first name.
I'm a proud Aussie and things have changed a bit here, at School I would never of referred to my teacher by his first name, however last night I visited a School mate of mine and his Dad was the old style "Caning" Disciplinarian of a local school, I was quite at ease calling him by his first name,, I think it has a lot to do with the laid back attitude to the Cultural, "We are all Equal",,,,Ive just found out I have some Scandanavian Blood in my DNA,,,,,,,no wonder those Woman appeal to me,,,,,,,,,,
As you say.. normal. Love from your brothers and sisters in Norway ;-)
awesome you got Hrafna to do this video.
Very nice video, regards from the Netherlands
Hey, its Hrafna! 😁 Just watched her "Icelandic pronounciation" video a minute ago...
I visited Iceland while in the US Navy. Great country. Damn good beer.
Thank you for this videos I love Ice land

I love the language! I must visit Iceland such a beautiful country and such cool people...
I went there a couple of Decembers ago to see the Northern Lights. It's a beautiful country. The people are very friendly.
She is gorgeous. And hiking as a date idea seems great for me 🙂
"Oh, We are going OOUUTT" - That's Iceland for ya !!
That was fun 😊
Most interesting one so far. I like all the videos. They’re cute and funny. I always click on them 😄
Icelandic culture is so fascinating!
I love Iceland, i love the language and i love everything about it, the landscapes, the mythology, the people, everything! As a half Native American half Greek girl, Iceland seems so beautifully mysterious, and so different from what i've experienced. I'm definitely going there.
I'm South American, Greek, and South American Native American.
Suck on that!!!
Me too! I hope I can live there one day
@@mypanexogamouslineage965 Lol, Is it a competition then? Bring it ooon!
If you go to visit, it would be fine, but honestly if you go to live there, it probably would not be the best just being honest. With your ethnic background, the climate would be unnecessarily harsh. That is why you do not see very many brown people in Eastern Europe, and you didn't see them for a long time in Scandinavia, Germany, and Austria. The climate is way too harsh if you are not adapted to it.
Hi my princess I'm from Algeria
Quite amusing! Last year, my friend in Thailand had to go to Iceland for some friends wedding. Living in Thailand for ten years, he had no cold weather clothes. I lent him my arctic coat and some long jonhs and gloves and off he went. I live vicariously through my laundry!
I knew it was sponsored when I saw the fancy scenic drone shots 😂

That taking the last name was a thing in all of Scandinavia as well as the Netherlands. As far as the Netherlands goes, Napoleon came in, demanded last names for administrative purposes, and everyone laughed and many gave ridiculous names because they all were confident Napoleon would be kicked out, just like everyone else has been kicked out over the centuries. Poepjes (Farts), Piel (Penis), Maandag (Monday), Naaktgeboren (Born Naked), and those are just the decent ones.
Napoleon gets the boot, and they figured last names would be gone. Except the new state thought of last names as rather handy dandy and decided to keep em. Everyone up in arms because they gave shit names and wanted to change it. Nope. So to this dayyou have people with last names that sometimes are literal profanity, most of these are luckily rather archaic now (Ploert for example, meaning whore or pimp).
Now I know the first comment, and no, changing a name is not possible as a rule. You need exceptional cause for a judge to approve this. They are a lot more lenient with first names than last names, and "roepnaam" is changed really easily (I knew a girl first name Anna-Lidia, and her parents gave her a roepnaam at age 12 or so, and schools, airlines, subscriptions, all use Angelina and she registers anywhere as Angelina, her roepnaam, but her passport still says Anna-Lidia, it's a thing). Anyway, even when a namechange is approved, the change as a rule needs to be so minor that the old one is easily deduced, so across from us for years there lived a woman named Piël, and I had a clasmate named Poëpjes. Not even kidding, it made me curious and look up why this was the case because it was obviously Piel and Poepjes before.
Many just registered as Janszoon (son of Jan, Jan being the most common first name) and Pieterszoon. But even with the refusal to change all the names and to this day being unwilling to change names, they did shorten all the -szoon and did not even do it consistently. So there is Janssen, Jansen, Pietersen, Pieterssen, Keessen, Kessen, Keesen. Interestingly, Kezen could be altered to Kesen, because Kezen is slang for fucking.
Not sure how Sweden, Denmark and Norway lost their "your mum/dad gives you your last name" thing, but there you have it for NL.
Intresting and educational.
