My wife and I love these videos, Ívar, but I do have a wee complaint. Can we do without the background music in your instructional videos? We find it distracting, and annoying, and honestly, when trying to listen to the subtleties of the language, often the monotonous computer generated guitar music gets in the way.

I think I will stick with English. I can see where Denmark got it number system, since Icelandic is older, but they are similar. Does Icelandic count 1-100 like English, and did they ever count by 20's like Danish?

Hehe, no we haven't, and I think that the danish system is actually quite different as they both use strange numbers for their decades that are indeed derived from they multiplications of 20, and then reverse the order of units and decades. So a 53 is in Icelandic basically "Five-ten and three", whereas in Danish it is "three and half-three-times-twenty".

That was interesting and I learned something. Are certain numbers considered lucky or unlucky either from tradition or due to them sounding like other words ?

@ivargu Ай бұрын
Not much beyond numbers found as "lucky" or "unlucky" in the rest of the western world. They don't play a major part historically in our superstitions and they don't seep into every-day culture. Tall enough buildings (not that many here ;) ) have a 13th floor, and there will be a bus-line #13, etc.

I do wonder if there is an expkination for sequential 6 sounding like one is saying 7th. I apologize, it is likely an insignificant thing to even think about but I have thought about that a great deal. My question is why 6th can be sjöti while 7 is sjö and 6 is sex. Why not sexti for 6th? It is what it is. I just wondered if you know why it is the way it is.

It's something every icelandic child struggles with and makes no sense :) Apparently it's just one of those strange mixups with other nordic languages that in the end stuck as canon.

Edit : My bad 😅. Apparently, there’s an option to toggle whether or not they’re displayed. Sorry for that. I can see them now.
