Old Norse class 14: hafa, segja, past participles

[@Tina06019]

Oy! I finally cottoned onto strong:weak verbs by the English examples. Weak: I walk/I walked I conquer/I conquered I love/I loved I live/I lived Strong: I fight/I fought I win/I won I drink/I drunk I eat/I ate Grammarians: am I correct, or did this concept just blow right past me again? Another enjoyable grammar lesson.

I just recently discovered your channel and i am just loving it! Thank you for the work! A quick question, does it make a difference to you where I buy your translations from?

Just a question: How do we know that /v/ was already labiodental in the 1200’s? Are there any borrowings where a foreign /w/ was transcribed as something else? Or comments by the First Grammarian that initial /v/ sounds the same as medial /f/?

[@getrealroleplaying7427]

The prof. has mentioned in another video that skaldic rhymes prove a merger of medial and , but regarding initial I have the same question you have. Certainly it's plausible that it could be pronounced as a voiced labiodental since initial was voiceless so it would have caused no merger, but I don't know if there's any proof of an initial voiced labiodental pronunciation of .

11:14 The past participle agrees with the object: does this agreement depend on the position of the object? Must the object go BEFORE the past participle or not?

I hope you will make a video on the mediopassive voice too!

The past of þegja is not " ek þagði " ?

[@faramund9865]

If indeed the g here is pronounce like in Dutch, some past tenses sound very similar. Ek sagða, ik zag.
