Hhm, my other account was blocked (personally) by the uploader of this video from commenting. Now you make me feel I have said.done something wrong, but I disagree.
Bjork I think is the most beautiful and creative women I have seen since Stevie Nicks. Bjork's eyes & smile are extremely captivating even on a digital effects video like this she looks amazing.
I'm Swedish and it wouldn't make any difference to me if she spoke Chinese. I couldn't understand any of it. But it's clear that it has a distinct Nordic sound to it.
Well, trust me, Icelandic is very old Norse language, i think back then danish and norwegians spoke that language, correct me if I'm wrong, but i am shure it is old Norwegian.
@ImIwilliamImI - It's correct that icelandic is the language that is closest to the oldest form of the scandinavian languages, and that it was spoken in Norway, hm. - But through the years, Norway has been under danish king, and it was more formal to speak danish, (and it was optional) so the language changed a lot, and became different from icelandic. - And the way icelandic is closer to danish is only the soft ''d'' or ð, which is pronounced pretty much the same way in danish as in icelandic.
Icelandic is way harder than the other Germanic languages because it has a case system and is highly inflected. Just like English and the Scandinavian languages were 1000 years ago. It's a cool language just because it's like a living linguistic time capsule.
@idja69 yeah yeah. Well jú is another word for yes. It is used the similar way as the french say si instead of oui its used when someone asks question and uses isn´t it or wasn´t in it. and instead of say já which means yes you say jú.
Anyone from Scandinavia (exc. Finland) will have less difficulties in learning Icelandic than people from elsewhere and it helps a bit if you know German because of the morphology, but in comparison to learing other languages you need extra time in memorising verb and noun paradigms.
Icelandic is quite different from the Scandinavian languages from the mainland, because the mainland languages have droppped a lot of morphology which Icelandic and Faroese have retained.
ahhh! I dont know much about the culture or anything....i ust like the sound of it! but my favorite languages are japanese and Korean...Japanese was like "My first love" i startes studying it when i was 12.
ahh..the romance languages like french and italian too?
I gues they are OK!..i don't like french just because....italian is pretty....i dont like spanish because i've been exsposed to it my whole life. When i was little i wanted my mom to teach me but she never did...and then i lost interest.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i agree!! it DOES sound like german...some of the words are the same...it is softer because they dont have that "something stuck in the throat" sound that throws so many people off when learning german!
I don't know why people don't like how German sounds and like how French does, both languages have almost the same sounds, by example Franch and German R is the same, or German ö and French eu.
Yes, it doesn't make sense to me...I guess I must be one of those weird people, because I like german and like french less. I like russian too...icelandic....japanese and korean! What about you? Do you like language?
The sounds may be the same but the way it rolls off the tongue (or in the back of the throat) is what makes both french and german different to the ear, not to mention that french is romantic and german is germanic, generally people find the romantic languages more "pretty" than germanic languages.
It sounds a lot more Scandinavian then any of the West Germanic languages (such as German, Dutch, Frisian and English) - I hear huge differences between this and German....
I live in a city with 10 million inhabitants, in a country with a 190 million inhabitants. Maybe for this reason I always get so curious about how things get organised in Icelandic society, considering that the whole country's population is only about 320 thousand inhabitants and they are geographically isolated from other continental lands. I know Iceland is a modern well educated society living with European standards (besides the current economical crisis) and that makes me still more curious
For instance, when you write a book in Icelandic, how many books can be sold? and how many books must be sold to pay the costs of printing?; when you speak to the radio, how many people can be listening to you?; when you record a CD, how many people can get interested in it? Off course my curiosity is based in economic grounds, since all of this things have a cost and somebody has to finance it. Do the TVs have enough advertising to finance their broadcasting? (probably they are state owned).
I would like to visit this country someday and understand how they can organise such a sophisticated society in such a small scale population. The current economic crisis makes me still more curious about what is going on in Iceland.
The popcorn bag is a prize for having their video chosen the second best in Iceland that year. Björk starts by saying than the video that was chosen the thrid best is absolute bad taste which the host disagrees with. Then he asks her about her band (The Sugarcubes) and projects they might have.
The interview is so awkward, which is sooo very Icelandic :)
She did not say that. She was saying that she was happy that "Smekkleysa" or "Bad Taste records" are finally receiving some notoriety on the Icelandic music scene and therefore calling the video for Ammæli or Birthday a bad taste. The interviewer disagrees and thinks the whole video is wonderful and in very good taste. He does not ask her about the band as such nor does he ask her about projects they might have but he asks who is going to eat the popcorn with her and she mentions the band membe
I prefer to not know what that long bag of popcorn is for. That and the fact that I don't understand anything that is being said makes this clip far more bizarre. :) Bjork is so goddamn cute I can hardly stand it.
I've actually never heard Icelandic until now. It's a very difficult language (I think). It's a north Germanic language but it's quite removed from Danish/Swedish/Norwegian.
Icelandic is difficult to learn but it all depends on the person right. some people it is difficult and lets just take scandinavian people. Danish people I know find it more difficult to learn Icelandic than Swedish and Norwegians. I don´t know maybe due to the fact that their dialect. I know also a lot of spanish speaking people that have picked up Icelandic very quickly and slavik people too. But I should not be generalizing. Also to those who think Icelandic is similar to finish. Bullshit.
English is my first language, i found that there are enough similarities that it's not difficult to pick up on Icelandic. Though, I understand spanish very well. And by proxy am able to understand some french and portuguese.
The popcorn bag is an award for the second best music video of the year. The guy asks her what she thinks about the award and she says: it is good to hear that tastelessness finally won the respect it deserves. The guy is surprised and asks: do you mean that the video is tasteless? She says yes :) :)
at 0:11-0:22 they say something like "smaecklöse" and that sounds similar to swedish "smaklös", which basically means tasteless - they're probably referring to this weird plastic tube of popcorn :P everything else sounds very scandinavian, but i don't understand squat
ermm.. i'm swedish and i don't understand anything. i have a friend who's from iceland and even when he tries to teach me icelandic he tells me i can't even pronounce it right, repeating phrases after him. but icelandic is said to be quite similar to old norse, the language all nordic countries (expect finland. finnish is a finno-ugric language, hailing from east europe and north asia) used to speak more than a thousand years ago. now, all the nordic languages are different.
Icelandic isnt that hard.. but wheni am in iceland i hear a few people speak finish it sounds kinda like norwegian but thats just my oponion.... Icelandic souds ALOT like swedish so if you know swedish you'll proabbaly be able to speak icelandic
I just want to add, has anyone noticed? Fashion today is completly retro, just look at Björk's hair bangs and the interviewer's scarf, converse shoes & slim jeans.
Japanese is one of the easier languages, My beft friend is Icelandic, it is the hardest language to lear,but it is a mixture of some danish,finnish,german,and more...
not really,its a VERY tough language.That's why there are veeeeeery few people who speak it outside japan.If icelanders were 125.000.000,(like the japs)then icelandic would be spoken by many ppl too.Since there are only 300.000 though why bother learn it?Where are you going to use it?That's why so few ppl speak it.(Japanese grammar is unbelievably hard,trust me.-and the accent??god!icelandic accent is extremely easy)
ZOMGitsXyndeeGEE: Actually Icelandic has NOTHING to do with Finnish language. I'm Finnish myself and Finnish is part of Finno-Ugric language family along with Hungarian, Estonian and small languages such as Kven, Komi and Veps. Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic languages belong to German language group so there are lots of similarities in these languages. For example, I have studied Swedish so I undestand some Norwegian. But a Swedish person does not understand Finnish at all.
Some people on here are saying Icelandic sounds like Swedish but I don't hear any similarities at all.
Icelandic is most closely related to Old Norse, or Old English. Even some of their words sound like modern English like their "þ" which is "th". And book = bok ect ect
Haha, that interview is so awkward and the guy has no idea what he´s supposed to be doing. Also funny how she has to introduce herself and the guy who made the video, who is now the most famous director in iceland.
He asked; "Well, uhmm, what´s it like being in all of this, isn´t it fun, or..?"
And she says; ,,Sure, yeah...but it can also be demanding from time to time" To which he replies; "Ummmhmm...tough...yeah..mhmmm."
And then he goes and and says that now we can watch the video ("Ammæli") that got the award for second-best music video of 1986, she says she´ll watch it with him, and he laughs.
Tenes razón en que ella es penosa ( timida, vergonzosa ) pero acá 1:12 y acá 1:31 yo leo otra cosa en su expresion ( en el último más todavía ), no? Y me encanta!!
Shonaripa, yo me pregunto por que hablas español!? :P

She's such a little angel, so shy, and awkward. She looks up at him like a child does to an adult.
I want one!

Haha, that interview is so awkward and the guy has no idea what he´s supposed to be doing. Also funny how she has to introduce herself and the guy who made the video, who is now the most famous director in iceland.

He asked; "Well, uhmm, what´s it like being in all of this, isn´t it fun, or..?"
And she says; ,,Sure, yeah...but it can also be demanding from time to time" To which he replies; "Ummmhmm...tough...yeah..mhmmm."
And then he goes and and says that now we can watch the video ("Ammæli") that got the award for second-best music video of 1986, she says she´ll watch it with him, and he laughs.

Ella es bastante penosa, no esque le gusta el muchacho, solo actúa raro en ciertas situaciones cuando le da pena o algo.
Pero hermosa si es^^
