How do I put subtitles on?

@@eluemina2366 Turn on CC (Closed Caption)

lmao same here i was like mmm no wonder i coudnt understand xD

wow I watch 80% of the video with no idea CC would translate the words too lol thanks for mentioning that!

Listening to them puts my swedish brain into hyperdrive, and I still don't understand them, because obviously

Actually hrafna's laugh more interest me XD

Also, a beautiful smile.

maria leigh I second that comment!

I wrote the same comment and didn't realise till now😂

She is lovely. They all are.

In Faroese it's well-lucked. (Væleydnað)

It would probably be something like that in English, too, if it weren't for that little kerfluffle of 1066.

Germanic languages, you know, they always mix literal words to make up others lol

Vel heppnað v Well Happed Very similar 😂😂

I love when words are so literal in other languages, especially German

Two of the goofier look letters for the rest of us, the pb mix and the d with a cross thing,(thorn and eth) are actually more or less the two pronunciations of th in English. I don’t speak Icelandic at all, but the chaos is a bit less when I can think that I just need to pick th pronunciations for those two. In another timeline English might’ve kept those two letters instead of turning into th.

@@kevinb2469They were kept in old English but disappeared when middle English get rid of the old Germanic letters to make some words feel more latin.

please

Meanwhile I want to learn Luxembourgish

@@meganaxeliar You looks Icelandic

ᾎЯͶÅU βØЯЯἜLL Probably because I am😊😂

Megan Axelía Carrington-Ráðvarðardóttir That would be awesome.

I fucking died bro💀😭😭

"Lieutenant" is actually French for "left-tenant," as in, "person in charge when the captain has left."

As an American, I'm triggered

and canada and australia and new zealand

@@KarmasAB123 not exactly. Lieu: place, and tenant means holder

Wait I’m in England and I’ve never heard it pronounced that way lol

Awesome bit of knowledge!

In Icelandic Monastery is “klauster” so that’s probably how he figured. In norwegian/danish it’s kloster and dutch klooster

@@yaznaz5340 makes perfect sense! those words themselves come from latin in their deepest origin

I was about to comment that. You could guess the meaning of most of the words with knowledge of the latin origins and I was suprise that they didn't. I goes to show how little latin influence there is in icelandic I guess.

@@apoema42 latin AND Greek

❤️🥺

YES, THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE!

Yes. It was very sweet. ❤

Ok this

In Hungary most movies are dubbed like at germans.

Jag tror också att i och med att Island länge varit isolerade från omvärlden så tror jag att engelskan inte tog fart där i samma utsträckning som i övriga europa förens internet kom till Island och man fick mer tillgång till filmer och serier på engelska samt youtubers som pratar engelska, vilket har lett till att den yngre generationen pratar bättre och mer engelska än sina föräldrar

My dad actually has to speak English quite a lot at work but these words were just a bit tricky hah! He’s actually ok at English however my mom is not used to speaking English and always has subtitles when she’s watching movies/tv shows 🥰 might have to do a part 2 with a bit easier words haha!

There is many different ways to speak English depending on your native language. This sounded quite similar to Rally English.

I'm Swedish and my mother who is almost 60 is quite good at English thanks to movies and tv. She always told me how her English education was very poor and I feel like when I was very young her English was not good enough to converse in. Now years of watching tv, film and using internet she can speak to people in English :D She still uses Swedish subtitles on everything though.

Yes. I found myself apologizing to them for the Norman conquest.

She sounded like my grandma when she said it (I'm Flemish by the way)

And Swedish. It's called löjtnant.

Its even funnier that the British purposely mispronounce it because its French

I was thinking Icelandic sounds soo much like Dutch

Norwegian to, it's løytnant here. But then again i can pick up on most of the words because they are so similar

❤️❤️❤️

Já is the Icelandic word for yes, and is pronounced like meow I guess without the M, it's kind of hard to explain, but try to remove the M

the only thing I could understand from the conversation, yet so fascinated by Icelandic. They're very chilled, too, so they participate in making the atmosphere relaxing.

LOL

😂

Yes she gave some of them hardest words to say 😂😂

@@jeffpro8 Easy words... Though if she gave you Icelandic words such as Fjalla, or Hrafn, you'd have problem saying them too. Although as someone who rarely speaks anything other than English despite being a non-native speaker, I know of a few words in my native tongue that most people that are native speakers would have trouble saying, I mean in my "native" tongue Swedish, kustskt is a fucking hard word that most people can't say, it's the word for coast, kust, plus the suffix for being like in the nominative neuter -skt. So it's like pertaining to the coast, translated to English roughly, This food is so like West coast. Shitty sentence I know but it would be Den här maten är så västkustskt. Den Här(lit. This here) maten(the food) är(is/are) så(so) väst(west) kustskt(coast-like). And even Pewdiepie would have trouble saying that word. It's my favourite Swedish word, because of it's cheer difficulty and it's a tongue twister in itself.

Let’s Respell it to “Quaīër”

Come to Iceland is probably the same in Icelandic. It is in Norwegian I think.

@@MrNicopa Google translate says it's 'komdu til íslands' :)

@@Mielikki1 That's almost the same. Kom til Island in Norwegian. Du just means you. Comeyou to Iceland!

most of them speak decent english there.

It's amazing videos like this ... ? Sound super odd, I just wanted to say this.

@The505Guys It depends though. Is he saying that the video is amazing, or is he saying that his realization is amazing?🤔 we'll never know.

A lot of these words have Greek or Latin roots, but Icelandic is a Germanic language. It is actually very similar to Old English

I was wondering what prompted your dad to think of fear of monasteries. In Dutch a monastery is klooster, so you could derive a kloosterphobia idea from that. What is the Icelandic word for monastery?

@@misterkami2 It's funny; they have the same root. In English, "claustrophobia" and "cloister" (monastery) both come from the Latin "claustrum," meaning "enclosure". I would have given him partial credit.

Yep, none of those words are really English. All loanwords. Nauseous and immediately have their own Germanic words in all other Germanic languages, claustrophobia being the exception.

Same for us in the north in swedish nausea is "må illa" or "mår illa" for being nauseous claustrophobic is quite similar though we say "klaustrofobi"

Yessss please a tour of rejkjavik!!!

tour of Reykjavik or Hafnarfjordur is a good idea now, because its without tourists :) I suggested it to her in last video, but she didnt reply.

I support!!!

Good idea for a video!

She did a day in her life video already

Well I think your Dad has the English pronunciation: when I first came to New York they couldn’t understand my RP British buTTer until eventually “Oh buddah!”

@@forestplanemountain agree. I speak the British and said BuTTeh. And they are always not understanding it. O.o

Oh my god yes!!! 😂

🤣🤣🤣

HHAHA this is great

Hahaha. Scandinavian languages sometimes sound a bit Scottish/Irish.

*9:05

No worries, nearly everyone I have encountered in my 3 trips to Iceland has spoken excellent English. Even in some very small towns, it hasn't been overly difficult to communicate.

@@scrotube you have been there 3 times mate? could you help me in a thing then?

no worries they all speak english every well and they kinda can tell if you are icelandic or not but some shops they will say words like "do you need a plastic bag or they say how much" but thats it but if you said "what? or looked confused they will repeat in english" however im learning iceladic so far Cx haha and when i was there i rarely used gps or maps i learned quickly :3

I think she is getting her parents to pretend speak bad English

Most people in Iceland speak English, I know cause I’m there at least once a year and there are some popular tourist spots and the people who work there probably has to know English to interact with the tourists so there’s nothing to worry about.

what languages do you speak?

Yes. Because I had the subtitles on 😂😂

😘 heads up. Sometimes it is better for everyone if they divorce and try to get happy. I always wished mine did it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lieutenant is French though, and it's pretty much the same, I mean people speaking poorly.

@@livedandletdie Correct, but the same word in the Dutch language, and the way she said it sounded more Dutch style then French :D

That cought my attention aswell! Pronunciation was exactly the same aswell :p

In Dutch soon means straks which is just pronounced like strax

It is *stracks* in German and it can mean immediately, but it means directly, without any time delay.

Schmul Krieger I’m Dutch and lived in Germany for a year; didn’t know about this and never heard the German stracks.. I guess that’s a good thing; that could have led to a lot of confusion

@@misterkami2 *Zieh dir stracks die Schuhe an* for example. It isn't used by a lot of young people. Elder ones will definitely know the word.

She is so Sweetheart👏😊

The one thing on this planet that makes less sense than English pronunciation: English spelling.

Ooooooo what language is your name in i don't recognize that script

@@skandamurgan4378 This script has a cult status in Croatia. There are enthusiasts who learn it and teach others. Also can be found on souvenirs in Croatia, fashion accessories and modern clothes inspired by traditional national costumes! Some people even have tattoos in glagolitic script.
