"Þótt eitthvað hendi þig" does not mean "If someone tossed you aside"

It means "Even though something happens to you"

Lol, actually we do make up words. It's done on regular basis but appearantly we havn't been active enough lately so the goverment has an contest in who can make up the best new words XD. I actually took part in it once, didn't win anything though.

Anyway, if you ever need help in translating Icelandic I'm ready to help. Just letting you know :).

About making up words: See the article "Linguistic purism in Icelandic" on Wikipedia.

@reformCopyright Damn!

[MisterStinge]

A real pain when Icelandic is like half idioms isn't it?

[RDraconis]

@MisterStinge I still think they make up words sometimes, just to make things hard. x_x

[elinbjorg95]

@RDraconis hahaha no we don't

[RDraconis]

@elinbjorg95 Haha, I know. :) It's just hard to find some words online without being able to speak Icelandic, so sometimes it feels like it.

[elinbjorg95]

@RDraconis i know it's pretty hard

[54321gunna]

@RDraconis icelandic is so easy if you learn it

[iebih]

@RDraconis we are just creative ;)
