  • What's an Icelandic word that even Icelanders have difficulty pronouncing?
    The hardest thing for me to say is the longest Icelandic word: Vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúraútidyralyklakippuhringur
    (English: A keychain ring for the outdoor key of road workers shed in a moor called Vaðlaheiði)
    Can you pronounce it better than me?
    Best regards,
    Guðmundur from the West

    Brilliant!
    Google Translator tells me it's a "Metropolis road construction Tools Geymsluskúr Front door key ring Ring". Well, maybe we should also have a Human Google Translator.

    So the obvious question that I'm surprised no one else has asked: Does the key ring of every tool shed associated with a road in Icelend get its own word, or is the shed by the road to Vaðlaheiði special for some reason?
    Could the record be broken, for instance, if someone built and then locked a tool shed along Helgafellssveitarvegur?

      I mean it translates to a sentence,it's a compound word,other languages like German have them too that's why the end up with big words

    Some words I can’t pronounce in other languages.
    Icelandic words ( which I can’t pronounce)
    Punjabi names ( I can’t pronounce, so I say to them, I can’t pronounce anything in their language)
    Japanese words ( which I can’t learn, because their alphabet is so different then the English alphabet)
    German words ( which I fail at )
    French language courses ( in which every student in my old school received a F-, including myself)
    Spanish ( which I can’t learn that language)
    Hebrew ( on which a rabbi said to me, it’s not very hard to learn that language, you just gotta learn the language)

      It's spelled íslensku so it's pronounced like "ees-len-sku" the last letter is different depending on the gender so it can be íslensku, íslenska íslenskar, íslenski, etc

      @@TheMrawesomesauce95 Actually, if you listen very carefully there is a slight 't' sound between the s and the l which is not written. So it sounds a bit like 'eest-len-ska'

    Of course, this is just a synthetic word, and of course we Icelanders can make it, although it is much further, the only thing that is required of us is the composition of the composition, and can continue indefinitely.....
