How to Pronounce Eyjafjallajökull? (EXPLAINED)

[@blackrapier713]

Icelanders: Our language is REAL, it's not a joke. Also Icelanders:

Same. RIP.

Same bro one of my favorite songs

[@kiddalingur]

As a Icelandic person i have to say this was funny, The man explaining this could not even say Eyjafjallajökull correctly. His accent made me think he was Icelandic, until he said "EyjaFjallaJökull" this must be satire

[@koukouvania]

il est evidemment un francophone; il n'a pas une sseule idee de quoi il parle

[@seanstewart285]

agreed. typical.

[@mogywithahardg]

I was horrified he dares to speak from a position of authority.

[@TheProDucky..]

well he said Ejafjallrajökoto so.. yes its his accent

[@Emily967]

I’ve heard Icelandic speakers pronounce this and I knew instantly it was not right! But couldn’t say anything because as an English speaker, wtf do I know!! 😂

[@143chumpz16]

People came here for 1.) MF DOOM 2.) Eyjafjalla from Arknights

[@No-cc1fq]

Wanna level up my wuh

[@someoneontheinternet7027]

Eyja eyyy

[@jack-o-lantern1779]

No I came for the volcano

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

I came here because of horizon chase turbo actually

[@FatManJackson]

Its funny how this looks like a professional video, but the pronunciation was BUTCHERED. There is no "R" sound at "fjalla", double "L" is like "TL", so "fjatla" in a sense. And "jökull" was the worst part in the video. The "jö" sounds like the beginning of the word "yearning". And the "kull" does not end with a "TL" but with a distinct sound by pressing air around the outer side of your molars. Kinda like imitating a wet lisp. And it sounds more like a "KL" than a "TL", but its not pronounced.

[@FatManJackson]

@@j33089a generally the difference is between it being in the middle of a word and in the ending of a word.

[@FatManJackson]

@@j33089a yeah, for the "dch" sound you just position your tongue slightly more to the side of your mouth (for me its the right side).

[@paidian40]

"Pretty straightforward, right?"

[@ffc1a28c7]

This is entirely wrong. In IPA, it is [ˈeiːjaˌfjatlaˌjœːkʏtl̥], or like "ay ya fya tla yœ kY tl". The œ is pronounced between 2 vowels: the first vowel in "may" (for some this is a diphthong), but with rounded lips (compare the vowel in "strut" vs the first vowel in "choice") and the e in "bet", also with rounded lips. To get this, try sliding between these 2 vowels and choose something in the middle. The ʏ is pronounced like the i in "bit" but with rounded lips as with above. Emphasis is placed on the "ay", the "fya", and the "jœ". Vowels are also held slightly longer than usual in the ay & jœ.

I need to do this volcano as part of my presentation. I now have to say this shit 10-15 times.

[@purplelava563]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@steely2055]

AHHAHAHAHA RIP

[@TylerTheCurator]

i also have to do a presentation with the name about this volcano in a couple of days

[@swapnil3718]

At first I couldn't even read that english translation😂 but after trying for 5minutes now I can though thanks 💪

[@mallaanimations130]

This is pronounced wrong. I’m Icelandic and I can tell. It’s pronounced [ˈɛɪːafjatl̥ajœkʰʏtl̥] for anyone who knows the IPA

[@Black_Dawn]

Thank you. He said it so fast I didn't even comprehend how he said it.

[@arthurdt6025]

Yeah, It’s pronounced Ey-ya-fjatla-jö-kütll (like the welsh ll but with a t sound before it, am I right?

[@snopyhuggz]

agreed

[@ffc1a28c7]

The last k shouldn't be aspirated (at least my family doesn't). I personally say it similarly to the wikipedia given pronounciation [ˈeiːjaˌfjatlaˌjœːkʏtl̥].

[@iyaru235]

damn bro i cant read functions

[@samileino6615]

Hey ya ate My yoghurt?

[@reidlingtheseedling]

Double Ls in Iceland are not something most native English speakers are used to pronouncing. To call it a “TL” sound would cause a lot of confusion. It’s a noise you make with your cheek, like a pressure release noise on an air tank (best way I can think of to describe it).

[@gregoryballestero4369]

I've had Icelandic neighbors my whole life till I just moved in October and if they wrote this on paper and told me it was a real name I would have laughed 😅 "it's impossible to pronounce" is what I'd say..... and even after watching this I can't pronounce it correctly

[@TheRojo387]

I'm having no trouble with it even though not a native Icelandic speaker. Though I do seem to have an Icelandic accent when I speak Norwegian!

[@hurricaneKATRINA_]

pretty sure iceland just put random letters together and called it a word

[@YouTubeJulien]

😅

[@jaxx7105]

"It's way easier than you'd think" Proceeds to say it slowly once, and the video ends. "wAaY eASieR tHan YOu ThnIknl"

[@deanm1424]

"hey yaf yalla yo kull" is how it would be pronounced

[@propellerman6066]

where are the 2 t´s in the word which only appears in audio? btw can someone de-knot my tongue?

[@tonka5]

So E15 works for me

[@aviavix4478]

So easy

[@stonedunce595]

‘Ello Guv’nor!

[@jpsholland]

I heard an Icelandic volcanologist pronounce it as ayafjaklajokol.

[@Slarti]

He pronounces it incorrectly. It's "Eyah Fyetlah YerKll" the last "ll" being similar to the "ll" in Welsh.

The fact that so many people believe this. Heck I just looked this up for fun to see what would happen. My dad is native to Iceland and both my parents speak fluent Icelandic I can say they butchered it so much that they added extra letters to it. Like I'm used to having my name or other Icelandic words butchered but this is just terrible. Just please don't believe this video. If your planning to go to Iceland almost everything is in English so you'll be fine.

Good way to test if you drank too much Brennivín. 🙂

[@Weltaz]

Sorry but it's not the good pronunciation. the tongue must be flattened at the top of the palate touch the tip of the tongue to the front teeth at the top, as if to say " T " but also the back of the tongue in position as if to pronounce "Q" at the same time = which produces a sort of mixture between "T + Q + L" and this sound are written with a double "l" so "ll" in Icelandic.

An easier way to pronounce it: ej-ja-fiatra-ja-ka-tul

[@ffc1a28c7]

More like "ay ya fya tla yø kY tl". The ø is pronounced between 2 vowels: the first vowel in "may" (for some this is a diphthong), but with rounded lips (compare the vowel in "strut" vs the first vowel in "choice") and the e in "bet", also with rounded lips. To get this, try sliding between these 2 vowels and choose something in the middle. The Y is pronounced like the i in "bit" but with rounded lips as with above. Emphasis is placed on the "ay", the "fya", and the "jø".
