How do you say "I don't want to date men who don't appreciate my country " ?

[Rammsteinfreak93]

@Frogetteful Ég vil ekki eiga í sambandi við menn sem kunna ekki að meta land mitt að sínum verðleikum. Or something like that.

[jevicci]

Ah! I knew you looked familiar!! It was bugging me. Saw you at a couple Eistnaflugs. Anyway, I like this video. Too bad you're not doing them anymore...

[Rammsteinfreak93]

@jevicci Oh really? Say hi next time :p

You can always inbox me with questions if you want to know something Iceland-related. Beside my cannot-be-bothered for making more videos, I broke my camera. So I won't be doing more of them.

Hjálp!

Ég skilja ekki. "Það er ekkert *til* sem heitir..." Af hverjú segirðu "til", og hvað þyðir það án "til"?

I gave up studying Chinese to try and learn this bloody langugage. Considering how cheap Chinese beer is, I'm pissed!

Skata doesn't taste nearly as good as shit, but skýr, sviðæsulta and taðrekyt sild are fantastic (unless you mix them together). And hangikjöt. And pylsar með ollü. I'm getting hungry...

Worst "food" in Iceland: the hákarl they sell in 10-11.

[Rammsteinfreak93]

The best translation of that is "nohing exists that's called..". If you don't say "til" it's just "there's nothing that's called..".

Hahaha clearly you have tasted some of our food x)

[crouchtig]

Icelandic accents are kinda hot...

[Xcokedav096]

I love icelandic, and the icelandic accent. Sigur Ros really got me into iceland..

@Rammsteinfreak93 you probably can't answer this question, but do you have any clue how a foreigner could find work in Iceland without knowing Icelandic but being fluent in English?

[Frogetteful]

@Rammsteinfreak93 Thanks, I just started learning Icelandic at evening school and found this video. You obviously had some horrible people saying terrible things to you. Fancy referring to food as "shit". This is so demeaning. So many people love Iceland, don't bother with those who don't.

[Eerieborei]

damn!!skata actually means shit in greek :P:P

[MrTrentonDaniel]

@pansatyros I'm not an Icelander, but I heard that you pronounce that letter (which is called a thorn) close to how you pronounce an English th sound. I hope this helps you.

[jevicci]

@lecrapauddejerri9 The -ur ending usually indicates a nominative singular form of a masculine noun or adjective (the words "góður", "íslenskur", "matur", "skítur", and "selur" seen here are all examples of this). However, it could also be a nominative or accusative plural form of a feminine noun (not adjective, though). Furthermore, some verbs conjugate with a -ur ending in the 2nd and 3rd person singular (like "lítur" here). Those are the three main likely categories that I can think of.

I'm trying to learn the grammar and cases before I study more Icelandic so I don't learn to say things the wrong way. What grammar is involved here? I noticed the "-ur". What case is it? etc...
