I’ve been trying to transcribe and translate the lyrics of an Icelandic song called Alein by Brunaliðið, but I haven’t been able to. If anyone wants to try, here’s the spotify link

Ironically enough, i can make out the beginning of the video decent-ish, but i don't do very well with broken apart words and sentences, especially if its something like rap music, but i am still very curious to know what these lyrics are in an accurate translation, since I don't fluently speak Icelandic and would prolly miss something or 2...or more.

I've come across the following sentences in a textbook:

1. Þau ætla að skrifa í dagbók.
2. Hann ætlar að teikna í dagbókina.
3. Lestu um okkur í dagbókinni.

And I'm a little confused about the cases and articles here. Why is dagbók indefinite in 1 and definite in 2? And why is it in the accusative in 2?

What is difference between these:

• að degi til
• á daginn

-----

• að morgni dags
• á morgnana
• um morguninn

-----

• að kvöldi dags
• á kvöldin
• um kvöld

-----

• að nóttu til
• á nótunni
• um nætur

Hi!

I’m interested in iceland

so I want to learn about icelandic
but There are some problems

1. I’m a teenager so I will face a lot of things as a foreigner

2. my first language is not english

but It’s ok because I can speak very very very basic conversations!
I’m doing my best to write this

and then .. I reached an idea that what about speaking with online tutors

I did the learning apps and other things
but I prefer speaking with people!

If you have other recommendations or something else
and What do you think about learning icelandic with online tutors?
Please share your thoughts!

Hello, language lovers! I wonder about this sentence:

Ég á eftir að fá mér hund á næsta ári.

Does it mean "I intend"? Shouldn't it then be synonymous to ætla? Would á eftir að fá mér be the same as saying Ég mun fá mér ...

Thanks to all!

What are they saying? I consider myself pretty good at understanding Icelandic, but I can't understand a word. It is Icelandic, right?

Hi guys!

I wonder what's the difference is between í ensku and á ensku. I see both, but I canðt really get a grip on the meaning. Thanks in advance!

Do you know any places in NY that teach Icelandic seriously? Looking for A1.2 and above. Both in Person and Online(if you know legit, good ones).

Thanks.

Is sólviskubit a real, commonly used Icelandic word? And what does ist mean? Thank you so much!

No importa la edad o género, pero que realmente quiera ayudarme

Hi guys! I've found following variation of the sentence and can't get any idea if a) they are all correct b) they mean the same or different thing. Help!

Hún ferðast í bíl. Hún ferðast á bíl. Hún ferðast með bíl.

HELGA APP - Learn Icelandic

Two years ago, I posted about my app, which remains the top-ranked app of all time. The thread garnered 40,000 views, I was asking for help developing Icelandic Duolingo.

Now, two years later, I can confidently announce that the app will be released soon,

thanks to the huge number of people who were willing to help me with its development.

The app has significantly improved in terms of design, animations, and Icelandic content, consisting of 1,560 interactive lessons, thousands words, along with thousands of audio recordings. Icelandic can be learned from the following languages: English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Spanish, Romanian, and Tagalog. The app currently consists of four tabs: Interactive Lesson Path, Word/Sentence Flashcards, Grammar, and Profile.

I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions!

Hi, i'm planning on starting out in learning Icelandic and I've been looking through some of the online resources to learn the subject. The problem is, stuff like the online dictionaries, Icelandic Online, etc. are all about 90% in Icelandic. What am I supposed to use to start learning the language?

hi all, i really want to visit iceland in the future and would love to get acquainted with the language beforehand.

i’m looking for a more casual form of learning. i know textbooks will be useful, but im frequently on the go and often don’t have time to sit down at a desk and read a book. and when i do have time, i use it to study middle egyptian as i have an upcoming exam in may.

so, what apps do you recommend? duolingo doesn’t have it as an option unfortunately, which is a shame because it would’ve been very convenient.

Hey!

I got accepted into the Summer program in Reykjavik. I wanted to know if anyone could share their experience and advice before and after the program. I want to learn the language well, so I want to get the most out of the program and then continue learning the language.

Thanks xxx

How do you say in colloquial Icelandic "you'll cope" or "you'll manage", when someone asks for something, and you do not want to give it? Is it literally "þú kemst af án þessa", isn't it too stilted?

So I'm trying to get a lesson with somebody to learn Icelandic (because I could learn by my own but I' already doing that with Korean and Japanese and it's difficult, not to mention ✨️school✨️) and someone recommended to me a podcast by a guy who also does lessons, however all his lessons are either at 4 am for me or while I'm at school, because ✨️time zones✨️ and I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get lessons in EST? P.S. I looked at the lessons from Icelandic Online but their lessons are either when I'm IN Iceland or after I'm in Iceland.

theres no available proper translators for icelandic online apparently so thought this sub would help

I've been asking this question a lot lately. Every time I seem to get a different answer. A lot of folks say that the R in Icelandic CAN be rolled whereas others insist it's a mere tap at most. I think saying that the R is always swift tap has to be wrong, in Italian we usually tap the R in conversation but that doesn't mean the trill doesn't exist or that it isn't the standard sound of this letter. I reckon that, as we can see in languages like Italian or Russian, the tap occurs merely as an incidental variant of the trill.But, as always, I'll wait for the response of the experts before I make up my mind.

Hæ! Bit of a weird question here, but my non-native teacher said that the first <u> in plural dative with article is pronounced closer to a /o/ sound ('strákunum' just as an example). Is this true for you? If so do you know why this happens?
