3:20 that’s exactly how german works „Gute Nacht“ = good night and „Guten Tag“ = good day..... „der Tag“ is masculine and „die Nacht“ is feminine so the endings in „gut“ change.

[@CommanderSp00ky]

interesting how they have "male/female/neutral" in such languages. in greek both are "female" so "good" always stays as "καλή"

[@nesrinisli6921]

Most languages work like that. Turkish and English e.g don’t ( in Turkish it’s more complicated) but Spanish and French do too and these aren’t germanic languages.

[@nesrinisli6921]

Islamist Reactionary إرتجاج الإسلامي did I say any different? I just didn’t want to explain it all because as I said it’s too complicated to explain all the grammar. But English isn’t your native language so I guess you still have to improve your skills☺️

[@britskihambone8158]

I think that is one of the stumbling blocks for Americans who wish to learn many other languages, because words in English do not have genders attributed to them.

[@linajurgensen4698]

@@nesrinisli6921 but the Latin languages have different gendered articles for different things, like „the moon“ is female in all Latin based languages while it is male in German and I think Icelandic too.

[@amberdean1263]

Icelandic is so incredibly beautiful and calming to me as a foreigner. I speak a decent bit of Swedish, and it's interesting to see that there are a lot of similarities, but Icelandic has a lot more complexity in declension and grammar. I'd really like to learn some of the language - it's on my to-do list :)

[@Stephen-N]

I've just learned all these phrases on my app and hearing you say them helps me know if I saying them correct! You are the reason I started learning (from your videos) so thank you for getting me started on learning this amazing language!

Great video, great series❤. Icelandic is such a unique & beautiful language. You're doing a really great job introducing us all to it. Very interesting.

Hi Hrafna. I'm learning a lot from you, thank you:) I love the fact that the intro was Icelandic and then you touched on grammar a bit. Super helpful:) Can't wait for the video about music . I've got two questions for you. Are there and do you recommend any places with live local music in Reykjavik ? Is there and if so how does second hand clothes market look like in Iceland(charity shops, markets etc, )? Also, how about every time you do a video about something, you sneak in a useful phrase or useful grammar rule in Icelandic? Keep them videos coming😀 Enjoy the heat while it lasts 😀 And sorry for the glaciers xx

these hidden aspirations (if i'm not wrong with the word) are crazy... thank you so much for the video!!

[@neotrekkerz]

I really appreciated how you showed the "formal" way of saying phrases as well as the version where you combine the icelandic words. As someone who has been trying to learn Icelandic on and off for years, it's always been hard reconciling how icelandic sounds with how it's spelled. As a suggestion for a possible video in the future, maybe you could pronounce some of the main streets and locations that are popular to visit in Reykjavik. That way we have a chance at telling the taxi drivers where to go properly :)

[@MyagkiyaZnak]

Please continue to make these videos! I would love to learn more but as you said the resources for learning Icelandic are very limited, so videos like these are always helpful.

[@clarissa8642]

Yes please!! Make a video about Icelandic music, I’ve been listening to artists like JoiPe, Kroli and Aron Can for like two years now and even though I don’t understand a single word I think their music is so good I’ve always wondered if they’re popular in Iceland and like what kind of music Icelanders listen to, so it would be super interesting!

[@saraifraser568]

I just started watching your videos a couple days ago. This may sound weird, but you reminded me of my unhealthy habbits, and how depression swallows me whole from time to time. I literally quit cigarettes today, and have been watching your videos, because they help remind me that being healthy and beautiful is much better than slowly deteriorating into a black hole of depression and bad choices. So I just want to thank you for your existence, you truly have inspired me to kick unhealthiness to the curb and live free.

I've been keeping track on the weather both here in the UK (where it's currently 30C) and in Iceland, just to a) check up on how friends out there might be doing during another July heatwave and, b) be jealous of how much colder the summers are there. I can't stand the heat once it gets over about 20C, but completely get that in Iceland it should basically *never* be over 15C. I'm surprised you haven't all just melted yet. I've wanted to go back in July for the last couple of years. On the one hand, for Eistnaflug, and on the other hand because it's a two week break from the heat :P

Brilliant as always! Thank you ever so much! A video on phrases that strangers are likely to say to you would be so helpful - I can negotiate the "would you like a bag" stage, but stumble every time at the "is there anything else/would you like a receipt", responding with a rather sheepish "sorry" lol. What is a polite way to respond (say in a shop/restaurant) when you don't understand? "Ffyrirgefðu. Ég er frá Englandi, ég talar smá SMÁ íslensku"? Is there a polite way of asking if someone would mind conversing in English - something beyond "Talar þú Ensku?" or is that fine?

[@MayhemmiGunn]

I'm sure Hrafna can give you a better answer, but anyways.. "Talar þú (talaru) ensku?" is good, but if you want to be more polite you could say 'Gætir þú talað ensku?' ('Could you speak in English'). And again, the 'Gætir þú' part is just pronounced as one word; 'gætiru'.

Do many people at restaurants/hotels/... speak Spanish in Iceland?

[@juha-petrityrkko3771]

Thank you for the great and very rare opportunity to learn Icelandic by KZbin videos! For a future hint, when you teach how to pronounce Icelandic words, could you point out the reductions of the sounds in usual speech. For example you showed how a stand-alone "þu" can become a suffix "ðu" combined with the preceding word. However, when you pronounce the word, I can barely hear the "ð". What happened to it? Are there other sounds that undergo changes or elisions in normal speech?
