I have questions. If for example, there was an American scientist/ tree farmer who got really sick of the politics at home, and decided to move to a relatively drama-free zone, would Icelanders be okay with that? Also, I'm only very distantly related to you folks, being mostly of Norwegian ancestry with some other stuff mixed in. So with dating, nobody would have to worry that I was related too closely. Is Iceland going to be an okay place to move to?

Sweden still ranks among the highest in peace, happiness, security and infrastructure indexes, even surpassing my very own America. Crime may have risen in Malmö a bit, but correlating that with immigrants is hard to determine since stats related to this situation are at times misleading or even hoaxes. Doesn't matter, all Nordic countries are lit.

Some people can also choose to take their mothers name, this is most of the time when the kid is born and the parents decide that the kid will take the mothers name but some people, including my friend, changed their last name from their fathers to their mothers! For example ; Guðrún, Guðrúnardóttir. Hope this helps! (If this is incorrect please tell me! Im pretty sure i am correct but if i made any mistakes please educate me on them❤️)

The key is you need to be qualified, learn the language of the country u wanna move (learning the language IS A MUST if you wanna settle there and if you wanna find a job) and you gotta find a job oportunity before moving to the place, seriously NEVER COME HERE TO SETTLE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND A JOB, YOU WILL RUN OUT OF MONEY FASTER THEN NORWAY'S OIL, FIND A JOB OPORTUNITY FIRST NO MATTER WHAT.

Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Koreas and Kosovo will be quite interesting too. A great bunch of countries up next :D

[@NoNameAtAll2]

Samyam Kosovo isn't recognised in UN, so it will be at the very end after Z

[@teli6350]

Samyam Shrestha and the comment section will also be interesting on the totally mightiest, most powerful, best Korea in world history.

[@asjdnajsfn7927]

We Norwegians love island because they have taken care of our old language and culture. Icelanders originate from Norway back in the early Viking era

[@thekillingduck]

Jon Jonsson which island? Or do you mean iceland?

[@toolcruise]

@@thekillingduck Iceland is written like Island in Norwegian and he probably didn't notice that he wrote it wrongly since he wrote Icelanders in his second sentence, but you probably understood what he was saying anyway.

[@surrealsoul9120]

4% Polish??? Man, you Poles are everywhere!

[@M3SPL]

Just everywhere where are good living standards. Although it's not bad here but being really satisfied costs huge effort and sometimes it's easier to emigrate. Plus if I considered emigration I would add conservative model of our government which I don't like (our society is like splited in this area). But it's still getting better.

[@surrealsoul9120]

Of course, I don't think you guys would mass emigrate to Africa or Asia. But still, around 8k Poles chose to move 3,000km away from their home, learn Icelandic and integrate into society there. That's insane!

[@M3SPL]

Surreal Soul 8k is not mass emigration considering that we are 9th biggest populated country in Europe (including Turkey) and when you compare it to more than 2000k Poles in Germany it seems that it's not popular destination. I think it works like domino effect. Iceland is in EEA and English is well known there, unemployment is low plus we know what airplanes are ;)

[@surrealsoul9120]

I guess it's more surprising that Poles would choose Iceland. For me, 2000k in Germany is somewhat not surprising. Well, after visiting Iceland, some people just wanted to stay and work there :)

[@surrealsoul9120]

Well, at least the Polish diaspora can improve the food situation in Iceland with zurek, pierogis and bigos!

Love how he tried to pronounce the Icelandic words, as every time I see this episode, I crack up every time, as I hope Ásgeir doesn't mind the butchering, like if he just got that "punched in the gut" feeling in the Icelandic pronunciations.

[@teemodo]

6:49 nailed it 👌

[@Mattropolis97]

þ makes the voiceless th as in “thing” and ð makes the voiced th as in “the” and English used to have these letters until the Germans (who’s language lacks the th sound) invented the printing press. As someone who’s studied lots of languages, I have to say Icelandic isn’t that much harder than a scaled-up German. It’s easier than all of the Slavic languages for sure because of less noun cases to memorize. Definitely not one of the hardest in the world. Its syntax and many words are also similar to English because they’re both Germanic languages. Ég hef heyrt um þann skóla I have heard of that school

[@gaevar66]

Im from Iceland and man, are you correct about the language. Just for and example, the surname thing is way more complicated, Alex with a father named Bjarki would not be called Alex Bjarkison, he would be called Alex Bjarkason due to the fact that nouns "bend" in icelandic (yes, names are classed as nouns in icelandic). For example (again) Bjarki like all nouns bends in four ways Bjarki - Bjarka - Bjarka - Bjarka its way more complicated than this and even icelanders have a difficult time grasping all the linguistic rules (school was a nightmare!)

[@andriandrason1318]

Tell me about it :)

[@johntate6537]

Ah Icelandic, two numbers, three genders and four cases for every adjective! Vowel gradation and consonant mutation. Irregularity everywhere you look. It's right up there with languages like Finnish and Basque for unnecessary complexity. Really pretty though. I need to go back and brush up on some!

[@patxepi]

Its weird how icelandic is so difficult even though linguistically its closed to english than spanish is to english. Icelandic just hasnt simplified, English has.

[@annalifsigorsdottir9203]

So true

[@gunnarkvinlaug7226]

@@patxepi They both inherritaged the Norrøn language from Norwegian Vikings, and while modern Norwegian languages has been inflicted by Danish and modernisert compered to Island who kept it more to itself. The son or daugter endings of your sirname was more common in the rest of Scandinavian up to about 100 years ago. Still many names exist today, thought the daugter names disapered, and replaced with -sen in Denmark and Norway, and -son in Sweden. In Norway you would put the name of the farmes they came from after the -sen names, but to makes it better to familiouris the register just the farmnames would be used in modern times. My name would have been Gunnar Oddsen, but I only use Gunnar Kvinlaug since that was the name of the farm my family arrised from. English is littarly Norrøn with Latin influence, Frensh for the mostly.
