  • @gunterdak I'm pretty sure we already have:

    á, é, æ, þ, ð, ö, ó, í, ý, ú. ;)

  • But we have so many of them :S

  • She did not get it correct. But it was closer than usual.

  • America, a country where people just plain don't learn foreign languages. It's a joke. They are so deeply into themselves that the rest of the world's languages and cultures are nothing more than an oddity to them that they can joke about. Only a small minority of Americans break this mold.

  • @Iceland1944 I'm proud to be one of this minority. Because of this . . . I can pronounce Eyjafjallajökull fairly passably . . . after getting help on here from Icelanders

  • that high-lerious shes so proud of her self and she cant say it correctly :P

  • The people in the end aren´t saying it correctly as they claim :)

    For instance there´s no T in the end, two "L"

    "EyjafjallajökuLL" no T sound.

  • lol im from iceland and this was funny as hell XD

  • We need a show staring random citizens Not Scandinavian nor Icelandic in origin trying to pronounce Icelandic words, it would be so funny

  • Comment removed

  • WTF?! It's the first time I've ever gotten a pre-roll advertisement and I must say it sucks. I'm living in Romania, BTW.

  • And they are still pronouncing it wrong, its not eye its a long A sound, lay the "ey"in they, and thats the name of the Glacier not the volcano, Jökull means Glacier in Icelandic.

  • STILL PRONOUNCING IT WRONG. COOL MISINFORMATION.

  • press F13 to skip adds

  • @44mariaros lol

  • why is she saying yoghurt

  • Eyjafjallajokull means i just jizzed all over the earth in the Ancient language the natives spoke , i know this language because i did some extensive research on it a while back....................jk

  • HAHAHAHAHA XDDDD

    You're doing it soooo wrong, well it's over, let's hear from you better next time :')

  • its wrong im from iceland and its not prononste that way

  • wrooooong.....

  • well im from iceland and the video is wrong.

  • couldn't they just name it... vulky?

  • Oh, durka durka!

  • it so wrong :P

  • Maby im not writing great english, but i speak Swedish Danish and Icelandic. Norwiagian is writing as danish nearly but say the words with a dialekt more than Icelandic. The Icelandic launguage have words as they have in Danish and Norweigan. But it is Danish and Norweigan that have changes. You understand my english and thats the most important. Maby i dont whrite right. But this american speaker hahaha its so far from northern european and icelandic. Its easy to say.

  • Icelandic is one af the oldest launguages in the world, the Norwigian and the Danes speak same launguage for many years since. But the Icelanders speak same launguage as the vikings for years ago. Icelandic is a old scandinavian lauanguage most Northern european people was speaking Oldnordisk its called. They dont put other soundly launguages in there launguage. They always find a Icelandic word for new words. They do not put in english or german words in they launguage, that cool.

  • If you say Fjuel with american dialekt, and leave the F then you have to say juel. And put on the K and it still have to sound at an american way. Say Kjull, then an american nearly can say it. Its not like american yogurt hahaha. The speaker can NOT say this name and its so far away.

    If you can germany you can say Kjöll with american dialekt. Danish Köll. But the american luanguage is so far from rest of europe russia and rest of the world.

  • Hálfvitar...(It means morons in Icelandic)

  • girl at :41 didnt even have a J in her word... Such a noob.

  • It's not surprising they can't say it right.

    What gets me is that they call it ICELAND VOLCANO,

    as if it's the only volcano in the country.

    You wouldn't say AMERICA VOLCANO would you?

    All they had to do is add 2 letters, and maybe even a "the" or "an"

    ICELANDIC VOLCANO. Seriously.

    Also, be aware that Icelanders love laughing at these pronounciations. *snicker*

  • Well it's kinda hard for americans to pronounce this considering they can't even speak english themselves. BURN!

  • in iceland is difrent world

  • In soviet Russia, Eyjafjallajökull pronounces you!

  • im born icelandic you do like this eyjafjallajökull

  • not correct! :D hahah

  • CBS dudes

    You're doing it wrong !

  • I'm English and I learned how to say this months ago, just so that people were like WTF?!? :) But yeah, it's not that hard once u can say it ^^

    What's the city the old guy says? o.O

    Om nom nom nom...Yoghurt...

  • too powerful cant get rid of ads with F5

  • lol americans

  • eh-ee-ah-fee-ah-lah-joh-cool

  • the ending is not yogurt!! just watch any video by an icelander saying it.....

  • (fonzie)eyyyy-ya-fj-adla-(not j like in jeep, but more like a y)k-udl

  • HAHAHAHA I FORGOT MY FUCKING YOGURT!?!

  • Eyjafjallajökull

    Eyja-fjalla-jokull

    the j sounds not like j in jeep pretend it´s y.

  • shit. talk about inane TV. 

  • she still is pronunciation it wrong. but hey it is a pretty hard word to pronounce. I'm not gonna expect people to know how to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull. ...at least pronounce our capital city right. i've heard "ray-kuh-ja-vic" so many times. it's "reck-yah-veek"!!

  • Who is that hot woman on the left?

  • How about, just say.. Iceland.

    It's just one big vulcano xD

  • LOL not one person in this video pronounced it right I should know im icelandic

  • What I find interesting is that so many English speakers aren't hearing the "l" sound at the end of the word, pronouncing only the "t".

  • @DavidEatsPaste yeah there is no t isnt the last syllible cuk not cut?

  • @Chrisindapurplehouse The icelandic "ll" sound is approximately pronounced like a "tl" sound in English. That's why "fjalla" is pronounced "fyatla". So at the end it should be approximated as "yokutl". It is helpful to note that the "l" is quite raspy and almost sounds like someone sucking their spit. Hoped that helped you.

  • She pronounced it wrong! FAIL!

  • it's not 'yogurt' on the end it's jo-kutl

  • she is saying it so wrong!! LOL

  • they got the first part right but the ending does in no way sound like yogurt.

  • lol ! i can spell it right ! =D

  • Btw, my video response was the first Icelandic word I ever tried. I'm told it's good except the ending (ll). Those reporters are just lazy!

  • Icelands president to GOD: I asked for CASH, not ASH

  • Well, who can blame them, really? :P

  • what the??? stupid adds here!

  • and why should we change the name, just so some reporters can pronounce it right? Eyjafjallajökull has been the name of it for about 1000 years! We're not going to change the name just so you can pronounce the name right!

  • Do you know why there is smoke comming out of Eyjafjallajokull????

    Coz the economy of iceland's last wish, was to be spread for all winds:) lol...

  • @muttgooch

    You don't pronounce Björk correctly either ;)

  • EyjafjallaJÖKULL

    Funny thing is my name is "Jökull" ;)

  • The last part she says completely wrong. It isn't a "t" sound in "jökuLL" and it doesn't sound shit like yoghurt..

    The words on the screen should say "eye-a-fyat-la-YUH-kutl" >_>

  • Ok I can't pronounce it either, but the guy at 0:40 makes me laugh so hard every time! He seems to be so confident about his pronounciation.

    It had to be Eyjafjallajökull, didn't it? You have Katla and Hekla but noooo, it just had to be Eyjafjallajökull, just to make life difficult for news reporters. :DDD

  • it's so simple to pronounce it, for God's sake, even though my native language is not a germanic one, for me is easy anyways :p

  • Wow, it's amazing how nobody can get the name right.

    lol at the T in the end there.

  • Well you ware spot on with the name, best so far
