Hi, I live in a place that is the opposite of Iceland. The weather is very hot, and what is common to the history you talked about is that we live in a small place that, unfortunately, is surrounded by enemies and wars that get worse every time. And the gods that each have a symbol. This is how I manage to give room for imagination instead of fear through the stories of heroism, etc.

If you do it with respect and knowledge, that’s cultural appreciation.

This father let his dauther eat balls testikels and penis and i dont know what else' she eats onely her boyfriend 😂

Great video, thanks

The subtitles for the video are funny 😂

Fun fact; pronunciation of this names vary greatly between Scandinavian countries. Icelandic, if anything, seems to be closer to the old norse than other modern nordic languages... but is not the [only] correct way.

Sweden has a term for having slept with the same person too. Despite having a larger population it happens, especially with people moving in the same circles. The terms are: Male: ”Buksvåger” ( a bit like ”stomach brother i law”. ). Female: ”Buksvägerska” ( ”stomach sister in law ) There is also the female ”Buksyster”. ( stomach sister” ) Or a unisex ”Buksyskon”. ( ”stomach siblings” ) in plural. Our dating is ( no surprise ) rather similar. I think i slept with most of my ex’es before we started dating.

Ok….now i’m hungry. 🌹

”I’m so bad at Danish!” Don’t worry, so are the Danes. 😂

You are funny and adorable :) So, I am half Islensk. I have relatives in Island who ask me to buy them things here, in the US, that they can't get in Island and I ship it to them directly. Do you know anyone in the US or UK that could and would be willing to do this for you??

As a dane, i dont care what other people do. if they want to get tattoos of runes or symbols, then go for it, im not here to tell others what they can and cant do, if they'd say viking culture suck'd, i would not care either. People can be free to express themselves, and have opinions on whatever they want. its not my place to put anyone in their place. Their lives, their choices. and i dont think anyone from the nordics would care what so ever, if someone in america has a tattoo of a culture they may or may not be related to. If they feel it suits them, then im all for it! lets try to give eachother room. its a damn tattoo :)

Love your vidio. Ya Skullar vie ahar et litten Svensk! I studied Swedish from a Berlitz tape after I graduated from hi school. I took 4 years of German but the written language was very difficult for me. Maybe you can teach me some Icelandic? I look forward to more teachings from you. Happy to have met!😅

Thank you Miss! My ancestry is from Danmark. My grandfather told me where he was from in Danmark but over the years I have forgotten. Its nice someone from Scandinavia! Im 1/8 Dane on my fathers side. Im currently polishing jet stones but have no boiled linseed oil or lamp black to fill the pores of the stones. Im 63 years old and formerly painted in oils. I also am photographer.

🇮🇸 ❤

Tbf, Icelandic pronunciation has significantly changed from old norse. For example, word final r was more like a french j, and a lot of names now written with ö in icelandic were pronounced like the o in often in old norse

2:35 the icelandic language is the closest language to what the stories would be told in originally in scandinavia so thats true about how the icelandic pronunciations are the ones that should be used. ive heard some people that study old norse say that people that can read icelandic can read old norse even though its difficult for them. like modern english compared to shakespeare english

2:05 Nonsense. I'll gladly give my time kindly. Plus, you make my life enjoyable now. Pamplinas. Con gusto te doy mi tiempo. Además, haces de mi vida algo disfrutable. 🎉🎉🎉 🇮🇸🤝🇲🇽

0:34 sometimes the things we hate the most about ourselves are the things that end up making us more unique, likable and liked by others. A veces, las cosas que más odiamos de nosotros mismos son las cosas que terminan haciéndonos más únicos, agradables y apreciados por los demás. 🇮🇸🤝🇲🇽

Well, as an American, who is trying to learn the actual traditions of my ancestors and not follow today’s modern perception of Norseman, so thank you for correcting me on these

We pronounce Reykjavik differently in English

I love Iceland so much I wanna move there

"Hi how are you" is kind of like saying good day to people, most people just respond with "good” even if they are feeling upset.

I can understand these better than scandinavians and I'm finnish. I remember back in 90's when I had a swedish bf from Stockholm he couldn't understand danish so I translated danish newspapers to him in english 🤣 maybe some minor differencies in between of scandinavian languages make native speakers blind something that is obvious.

Don't worry about being mom-ish! Those were very important crucial points, especially from a local perspective for tourists!

Ово створење бих одмах претворио у своју жену. Без да ме ишта занима.

Thanks! Una question, if wake up at 5:00 am, at what hour do you go to sleep? That's important also

♥

I like the story of Tyr feeder of the Fenrir😕

The most expensive part of my stay in Iceland was the hotel bill. Renting an Air BnB would be much cheaper.

Luckily I am German. Similar language "issues", lol.

I appreciate and value the education you provide on your channel from the perspective of a native woman of Iceland.

Ég á afmæli ellefti desember. Did I do that right?

As a Spaniard I believe that the gastronomy of southern Europe is the best. But Icelandic food is also great. I was living there two years ago and I really liked the Arctic trout and the lamb. They were top! I miss Iceland, I would like to go back soon. :)

As an American I know for myself I never took any of the stereotypes or silly scenes as an example of your culture I love this movie because it's just ridiculously funny and the absolute idiotic nonsense that you point out is what makes it all so so so so so so funny lmao ...we Americans for the most part see icelanders as a very brilliant resilient strong kind wonderful culture. And though we make jokes there are probably a thousand crude jokes for american culture to each silly Icelandic silly stereotype because WE ARE IDIOTS in real life

All of the names and the attempt to speak in Icelandic was supposed to be done in a comedic hysterical way

I love this movie it's my favorite and I've seen it 38 times

It’s not true I’ve been to Iceland. girls they will take advantage of you and they will try to take your money. Be careful guys. my friend get beat up at the bar and the police. They don’t do shit. It’s not safe country.

As someone who's become a Norse Pagan, my tattoo wants are becoming very heavily Norse focused because of how my ritual practice has changed and evolved. I want ravens, Oden, runes, other deific representations focused around my personal spiritual practices.

We say weiner brothers if we shashed the same female

Icelandic people learning Danish is like German people learning French. Its just torture. lol.

Admit it, you still go visit the franks and saxons from time to time. Honestly, people really ask stuff like this? gosh...

No mosquitos and 6 months of darkness? I am on my way xd

Wela werkan Hrafna :)

Glad to see you back on youtube. You make good educational and fun videos

I'd like to travel to Iceland and take a beautiful Iceland woman to Sushi Social, as soon as I win the lottery to pay the tab.

I've always thought Icelandic wome are the most beautiful in the world. Must be a Viking past life talking.

the thumbnail does in fact not show viking runes

The irony of smugly correcting people on the pronunciation of texts about norse mythology... while you can't manage to pronounce "Norse Mythology" in english... and not explaining or understanding the vocal differences..... is cringe..... The celebrities you clipped are doing a terrible job, but you're selectively splitting hairs....

There is no "right way" of pronouncing these names. Neither the Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish are more right than the others. Norse mythology was also practised, to some extend on the British Isles too. The English pronounciation of some gods' names are actually closer to old norse than the Swedish pronounciation, and that does not make the Swedish pronounciation wrong. Going by that logic you could and say the gods' names were pronounced way differently in proto-germanic, therefore making the icelandic pronouncation, which is quite different from old norse (the written language is quite close though). So "Thor", "Odin" and "Loki" are just right as "Þór, "Óðinn" and "Loki". And no Norse mythology is not from Iceland, they were brought with the Norwegian explorers who mainly populated Iceland, and the scriptures were not written in Icelandic, but in Old Norse, spoken around all of Scandinavia, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, and by Norse inhabitants on the BRITISH ISLES, who influenced the English language heavily. "Tor," "Oden" and "Loke" are therefore also correct (Swedish).

Thanks a lot!!! Omg it's so helpful. I just discovered your CZcams channel and I think I'll learn with you 🥰🥰
