Can anybody tell me how to use dates in Icelandic, e.g. sentences like on April 21st until April 21st etc.?

Hello all. I am looking for some icelandic movies and tv shows to watch. I am in the USA and I have seen what Prime (trapped) and Netflix (katla, valhalla murders, untrapped) have to offer within my subscription. Does anyone know if there is a channel I can purchase on Prime that offers what I am looking for? I am also open to other ideas besides my suggestion.

Bit of a weird one. I'm trying to either find or else make up a word for a fictional police force of healing. I want it to be a fun play on lögreglan, which if I'm understanding correctly, literally translates to something like "the law order"

I thought something like "the healing order" might be a good match, and have got as far as lækningareglan, which does seem to be an actual word, albeit with very few matches.

Google translates it as "the healing principle" which I like, but figured some of you might know better.

Anyone have a better translation for this word, or ideas for what I could use instead?

TIA!

Is there an app or community that translates Icelandic songs? I would learn best via music but I don’t have a way to translate things accurately.

Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me, I want to get a tattoo of an icelandic word but translated to icelandic runes, the word is "focus", could someone translate it to Icelandic and then to runes please.

Thanks to everyone

Hállo!

I'm working my way through Colloquial Icelandic. I noticed in Chapter 11's first dialogue, when discussing accommodation, the following is exchanged:

-Er morgunverður innifalinn?

-Ja, hann er innifalinn...

This is, at least consciously, the first time I've seen a singular nominative masculine adjective end in -n. I'm aware that they can end in -ur, -n, or -l. How would I know to end the stem as infalinn and not innifalinur? Am I missing a pattern, or is this simply a matter of familiarity?

Thanks for the help.

Hey all,

In around 4 years I should be moving to Iceland for a year or more depending on how my education goes. I've been to the university last week and recognised that everything was in Icelandic, which was interesting as I know the course I am going to take is in English. I'm looking to learn Icelandic starting now and am looking to continue it I hopes of moving there in 4 years. My question is, is this enough time to become proficient enough in time for it ? Would love some advice, as I honestly don't know how to attempt this, especially as I have a while till I arrive. If this helps (Which I doubt) I am a native English speaker however can speak French.

​

Thanks!

so i've being looking for a nice book to read and as the Icelandic language is a quite unused language its being difficult, we have libgen.is which is amazing but the books accessible there are mostly nothing of my taste, personally i don't like Gunnar Gunnarsson.

so if you have a nice pdf book or images in Icelandic i'd be glad to read them and it would be very useful for anyone in my position

specially i'm looking for fantasy novels like Hringadróttingssaga

I know that the f is not pronounced after certain letters, like ó, but is that also true for v? like in the word nóvember?

Are both of these correct and if yes, which one is used more frequently?

This is not 'Days of our Lives' in Icelandic:

Hello! We’re finally getting to Iceland next month and we’re staying at a couple AirBNBs. We are getting the hosts a small thank you gift and would like to write the thank you note in Icelandic. Would anyone be willing to help make sure it’s grammatically correct and that I’m using the right words? Thank you!

Why does Google block me from entering Icelandic Online saying that is a dangerous site? Am I the only one?

Hello, any Icelandic tutors out there? Would like my first lesson.

It's in Icelandic and also subtitled. I think he speaks very clearly. Worth checking out for us learners. It's on his website here. He's a pretty interesting person so if you're curious, go read up on him.

edit:

His candidacy for president of Iceland!

Hæ þið - I teach Icelandic and I just did this video going over the pronunciation of the Icelandic alphabet: https://youtu.be/WpFhb8PRkMs?si=CAQUU34t6-yyJ5Wv

Looking forward to the gentle critiques in the comments

Takk fyrir og bless bless,

Speak Viking

I have been rewatching Trapped lately and the characters often greet themselves with a word that sounds like 'Svejl', what is the actual word?

I am doing a presentation on the Nine Waves, but I have no idea how to pronounce this one name. Help!

Hi! I have a few sentences of Icelandic that I need help translating. Anyone able to help me out?

I've been dabbling in learning Icelandic, but I really want to get serious with it. In May I'll be in Reykjavik and I'm thinking of picking up some grammar/language workbooks, since that's how I learn best, moreso than apps, etc. and probably some little kid books to practice with. I also saw that I could probably take a language "class" This one- I feel like I'm spinning my wheel a bit (partially because learning Icelandic is fitting around a full time job and a PhD.....).

​

Does anyone have any recommendations for things you think I should get? Recs on specific items? Things you wish you did or could have picked up for yourself?

hey! i have a question. how do natives write those letters which are not in English alphabet and one more question: how do you distinguish between letters "þ" and "p" in writing? for example we, polish, to distinguish between letters "t" and "ł", cuz they constantly are merging in writing, write a dash above the letter "ł" while we write a dash in the middle in the letter "t". thanks for attention 🙏🏻 AND BTW i'm a 15-years old guy and dont mind an Icelandic friend who could teach me some Icelandic :3 (ngl it's my dream lmao).

One of my friends is icelandic, he's trying to learn Croatian in order to talk to my family And I'm trying to learn icelandic to surprise him

I've been trying to find good apps for it but none are good as they're either not good at explaining the words and such or something else.

I'd love to learn and speak it to him and his family for the hell of it, I'm dyslexic so that might be a small problem when it comes to writing but I should be fine.

Any good apps that don't require payment as I don't have a job ATM :')))

I'm curious to know, what ways have you found useful to break the ice with ice-landers?

​

Striking up a conversation.

Introducing yourself.

Getting to know them.

​

That sort of thing.

Does anyone know of good resources for Icelandic conversation for those not living in Iceland? I am at an advanced level, but never get a chance to speak, except for the rare (and expensive!) lessons I occasionally do on Italki.

Or maybe if there is a popular sitcom thats dubbed in Icelandic like friends for example tho I would prefer original Icelandic stuff to help me improve

I tried to register but I always get this error page without explanation. And I also don’t know where I should check the log. I got this same error some month ago so I assume that this is not a temporary thing.
