Best reason ever!


I read somewhere, some time ago, that Norwegians are more apt to understand the other Scandinavian languages. I know we got a lot of you Finnish boys. You guys know anything about that? (I'm just curious if it's bullshit or what.)

Most likely true, given that Norwegian is kinda like a gumbo of three different languages. (Danish, Swedish and Icelandic, IMO.)

Then again, I'm the guy who thinks the Dutch language is German with heavy slurring and a drawl.

I find Icelandic absolutely disgusting.

Even more than Opeth!?


I want to say "In the Mist she was standing" some day in Swedish.



Probably something like Jå böörk bork förstår üyk bork bork ska.

Isn't Icelandic the closest language we have today to what the Vikings spoke?

I'm Swedish. Seriously.

It's not an easy language. In fact, I never really learned it...

Yep, I believe it has barely changed since 700 AD (I knew an Icelandic women, spoke perfect English, not even an accent).

Yeah, the pronunciation is very hard for me so far.

Iceland was founded by Norske Vikings and not Swedish Vikings.

Iceland is a good place to get laid and they have some cute girls there.

Switching languages!

Icelandic is the most difficult one for me. Swedish is our second national language so by knowing swedish it is also quite easy to read danish and norwegian, and from those, norwegian is a bit easier to speak.

So I manage well with spoken swedish and can communicate a little in norwegian and danish. My written swedish is not perfect but:

Golden AWe säger att det är mycket viktig att klara liten svenska om man vill ha en chans att fukta sig spetsen med alla de vackra flickor från Sverige!
