Thank you so Much, Icelandic is a beautiful Language
I am Your Friend From Egypt ❤
Icelandic is so underrated. Easily among my top 5 favourite languages to hear.
It's because of the relatively low number of speakers and the isolated location, Því miður. Oh, and probably also the fact that everyone there already tala ensku.
I'm learning Icelandic because of how beautiful it sounds.
I recently visited Iceland and fell in love with the scenic and breathtaking landscapes I saw.
I am 100% going back and I hope my Icelandic is good enough to have fluent conversations by the time I go back.
Also, I have found Icelandic to be incredibly well structured. So much so, that learning the language is quite easy, especially as my 3rd language.
I’ve said it before, but damn you need more recognition. Your video editing skills are pretty good as well
Thanks again! For me the audience selection is more quality than quantity. ;)
takk takk
Frábært takk fyrir. Ég skil mjog vél. Ég tala litla íslensku núna.
Sæll og takk fyrir🎉. Thetta reddast! Sjáumst seinna og bless bless
I'll be going on a cruise to Iceland later this summer - my favorite thing when visiting a different country is to learn a bit of the language, so I am very much enjoying your intro to Icelandic and look forward to exploring more!
I'm now in Iceland. This really a big help. God bless! Takk.
Glad it helped! Hope you have a good stay here!
@@ivargu Thank you so much!😇
Gagnlegur, takk. :)
I loved my visit - realised quite quickly that it is better to understand whats heard then to try and read it (using english letters amd pronounciation doesnt work, though it entertains the icelanders). Easier by sound only. Only problem tho, was voice navigation in the car amd tying it up with sign post spelling. We went we round a few traffic circles several time over before working it out.
Best time we have ever had, amazing to experience Iceland properly ❤
In greek language the eg is ego.
and a word (I imagine there are others, my aim was to find at least one) that no other Indo-European people use except the Greeks and today's Icelanders. It is the word bapt, from which comes baptize and davafo and means "to dip" (in the case of davato, I dip the brush into the paint). Icelanders have it Kafa from vafo > vafa > kafa again with the meaning of complete immersion. Only in contact with the Greeks could they have words that other intermediate peoples do not have.
Im greek varryag ,my anchestors is a vikings guardians of byzantine emperor.
In my village betwwen 9-14 century lives 2000 varryags guardians
You have a very clear pronunciation, mutch helpful for non native speakers 👍
Thanks Matilda, I've always considered myself to mutter a bit, so I'm glad you found it clear! :D
Brother, these are the best videos! I (like many here) am studying Icelandic for an upcoming trip to Iceland. My maternal grandmother was from the north of Iceland near Akureyri and I have been trying to reconnect with my heritage. I am definitely subscribing! Takk!
Takk fyrir það! Glad you liked it, and I hope you have a good trip to Akureyri! :)
Is amazing de similarities with dutch on this basic phrases.
Yeah. Since I spend a lot of time in the Netherlands I've really noticed so many interesting similarities and connections. 😊
Thank you for your videos! I’m about to visit Iceland and the phrase books don’t help as much as hearing you speak the words. Takk!
Glad to be of help Kelly! :)
Fraubert! You make us want to work a little harder to get better at this. Takk. Living in Vermont and thinking a lot about Iceland these days. Again.
Hæ! Takk fyrir og bless bless!
As a Swede it fun to see one actually can understand the words, listining is however much more difficult.
It works the other way around as well. I can pretty much understand most things if I have a bit of context from swedish text, but the spoken language is more difficult :)
Just back from Iceland and wanted to thank you for your language videos. I managed to get a fee positive reactions from Icelanders when I tried to use them.
Loved your country. 3 days was not enough!
Happy to hear that, and glad you had a good stay!
Please, væri það ekki bara Vinsamlegast, en auðvitað ekki notað í Yes Please.

Klósettið er huganslega einfaldara en baðherbyggi er líka rétt og nær Bathroom og beinþýðist á sama hatt.
Thanks so much for making these two videos! Please do more of them!
Thanks! Any words, or other topics you are particularily interested in?
@@ivargu well actually there is a very powerful technique to teach languages which is very easy at the same time: you can just take a book with illustrations for little children (or any image from the Internet) and describe everything on every picture in Icelandic. Thanks to the context the learner can understand most words without translating, it's both fun and effective. Basically that's how babies learn their native language. Here are two examples of videos like that: th-cam.com/video/sspCv-cYoVw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/M3QA-RqkZ2g/w-d-xo.html
This method is called Comprehensible Input and it's getting more and more popular but unfortunately nothing like that exists for Icelandic so it would super cool if you make some videos with this technique!
Let me know if you decide to make such a video and I'll give you more information about the method.
This is excellent! I like trying to learn some basic words when visiting a country. Thank you for this. By the way did I miss ‘good morning’?
Excellent question! We make no distinction between morning/afternoon in that sense, so "góðan dag" (good day) is used from dusk till dawn.
Thank you very much for this.
Alveg sjálfsagt - most welcome :)
Ivar, we're coming to Reykjavik in Feb and this is just the sort of help and advice we need. You should bring out your own phrase book, I would buy it!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I hope you will have a good trip in February!
Thank you very much for this video.
I wish I could find more videos were the pronunciation is demonstrated.
I am learning to read and write Icelandic on my own, but you can't practice "hearing" the language on your own.
You need someone, or videos, to train your ear on how to pronounce this beautiful language.
Please make more videos!
Glad it was helpful!
I'll be visiting Iceland in a couple of weeks and both this video and the one with the basic phrases have been extremely helpful to learn some useful phrases and understand the correct pronunciation. Nice video and takk!
Glad it was helpful Miguel, and hope you have a good visit!
I love how he pronounced "motto", the Icelandic way (mohhto) :)
My boss in Tokyo has asked me to teach his colleague some phrases of Íslenska before she visits on business. Your videos sir are a very enjoyable point to start from !
Very happy to hear they are helping :)
Just finished a trial lesson with this student - I told her many things about Iceland ( most of them gleamed from the Internet - she seems determined to learn Icelandic ! )Do you have any information about native speakers of Icelandic who can teach it online ? Best wishes.
Good clear explanations. Great job.
This is great! This should help some when I am visiting in a few weeks. Reading the words scared me a little, but some of it sounds close to Swedish, which i have a basic grasp of. Thank you!
Glad it was of help, and there are definitely similarities with Swedish as the nordic languages all share a similar foundation. :)
I’d love to see more videos about your daily life in Iceland. Please show us your neighborhood, around your city, the cafes…
Thank you for sharing!!
Great idea. Thanks for stopping by, and I will do :)
@@ivargu I really enjoy your videos. You bring Iceland closer. One day I’ll be there to see everything with my own eyes. Thank you!!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and immediately subscribed! Takk fyrir, your videos are well done and helpful! We love Iceland❣️🇮🇸
Glad you liked it, and thank you so much :)
Great video again, thank you for teaching casual speak and sharing useful vocabulary.
After this video my level is surely B1, takk
I wish I knew someone in person to speak with and practice
Takk!
Very helpful and atmospheric :)
Spasibo again! Glad you liked it :)
After I've watched god of war ragnarok I'm 100% sure I wanna sound like a goddamn norse god
Petta reddast is the equivalent to "hakuna matata" ha,ha,ha
Icelandic for Bathroom sounds like “closet” which I imagine is “water closet” which is Brit for bathroom.
I believe that indeed is the origin of the word, an adaptation of a foreign term for this miraculous contraption :)
@@ivargu :)
Bathroom is 'baðherbergi' NOT 'klósett'. 'klósett' means toilet, and 'salerni' means restroom.
klósett is an interesting word, where as 'kló' is equivalent to sewer and 'sett' being as pair or something
These people have a talented tongue 😳
tak tak

How would you call out to a relative or a friend in Icelandic that’s in the next room over to “come eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner?” Also what is the equivalent to “let’s eat!” and “cheers!”?
On the calling out to someone you're likely saying just "matur!" which literally means "food", but also implies; "mealtime!". Generally there isn't a distinction made between what type of meal it is (breakfast, lunch, dinner) as the context will be self-evident. You could alternatively say something like "það er kominn matur!" (e. it's mealtime), or "komdu að borða!" (e. come have a meal).
If you want to specify the different mealtimes you are basically just saying "morgunmatur" (e. morningmeal), "hádegismatur" (e. noon-meal), or "kvöldmatur" (evening-meal).
Let's eat can be; "komdu að borða" (come eat/have a meal), or could be phrased as a question; "eigum við að borða?" (shall we eat?)
Cheers in icelandic is "Skál!" pronounced almost exactly like the english word "scowl".
@@ivargu Thank you so much!!
This has nothing to do with this topic, but I found out Ivar 'Pop' Coulson invented the malted milk shake. Not too many people named Ivar.
:D That's something I'll need to try now. I tried eating at Ivar's Seafood at the airport in Seattle once, so I've already started the journey of sampling foods connected to my name ;)
Rätt likt svenska.
Its so hard💔
Skrevet er det meget tæt på dansk eller norsk. Hvad hedder du...jeg hedder...hvad sagde du...hvad koster dette....etc. Men hvordan det udtales er meget forskelligt.
I'm from Bangladesh and I've been incredibly interested in learning the Icelandic language and literature. What would be the best way for me to learn the language all the way from here?
There is a facebook group called "Icelandic learners - læra íslensku!" which I think is a good start. People there are sharing reference to learning materials, and there are some proper teachers on there as well.
I've noticed in words that start with "hva-" it usually sounds more like "kra". is this the correct way of pronouncing it? or is it just a result of saying it fast? takk!
Interesting you ask, because I am actually just putting together a video on the strange sounds of the icelandic language :) but you are absolutely right, the majority of the population pronounces "hv" as "kv".
Hi, if Icelandic doesn't have the "please" word, then what does "vinsamlegast" mean?🤔
That is a fair point. "Vinsamlegast" is definitely a rather close match, literally meaning "kindly". It isn't used the same way though in spoken language as "please" in english. In my mind it's use is - yes more polite - but also conveys a sense of passive aggression. But perhaps that is just my twisted mind ;)
@@ivargu takk fyrir for explaining 😊
Bathroom is 'baðherbergi' NOT 'klósett'. 'klósett' means toilet, and 'salerni' means restroom.
Indeed, that is more technically accurate.
"Hvar er klósettið?" literally means "Where is the toilet?". No "bathrooms" involved. You simply need to pee or crap, not take a bath.
Indeed, as Ólafur also properly pointed out.
HÖRA
"höra" (swedish) = "hear" (english) = "heyra" (icelandic)
If you were an American this vid would be banned and censored as wraycist.
I'd love if you could point me to specifics, so that I may improve.
takk takk
