Karina Harington Port Royal Independent Kontractors Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.04.26 09:18:00 - [31] "do it" would be a decent enough translation for my needs
Ifni Developmental Neogenics Amalgamated	Posted - 2007.04.26 09:49:00 - [32] Hinik's good with the Icelandic phrases. You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough.

CCP Eris Discordia	Posted - 2007.04.26 10:32:00 - [33] I also use one of those online guides to learning icelandic because you can repeat the pronounciation endlessly. I got to asking if that was my bag and do not sing in the tub. Pink Dread has been hijacked

jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia	Posted - 2007.04.26 10:33:00 - [34] I tend to find that if you actually have to talk to them, you messed up somewhere along the way. -- Latest Vid: Domination!
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.04.26 10:34:00 - [35] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 26/04/2007 10:30:58 Originally by: CCP Ginger Originally by: Eshtir Originally by: CCP Ginger Tg tala ekki Islensku cough English please cough Ooops! :) It means (and it may be missing a hyphon or two) I dont speak Icelandic. Or literally, I speak not Icelandic. Dont be dazzled by my amazing language skills, trust me, they are the joke of the office :) For many months it resounded to the only two words i knew jß - yes nei - no Icelandic seems pretty close to swedish/norwegian/danish actually. At least I understood what you wrote there. :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune

LancerSix Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.04.26 11:35:00 - [38] Edited by: LancerSix on 26/04/2007 11:33:08 Is it just me, or does Icelandic look a lot like Klingon. I smell conspiracy! Warning: Sig highly outdated.
Cer Berus Gallente C.T. Technologies	Posted - 2007.04.26 12:28:00 - [39] I went to Reykjavik in Feb. The most important thing I learnt is that Thule is pronounced Too-lay (or something like that, the memory's a bit hazy).
Lictose Gallente The Dark Side Marauders	Posted - 2007.04.26 12:35:00 - [40] Originally by: Tyleritus I learnt this at last fanfest and i will spell it how it soudns in english. Halo Fatleck (Hello Beutiful) Sight (Cute) ENJOY because I did ROFL, something that sounds like somet you would describe out of a horror movie is describing something as beautiful..

alisandent Valiant Logistics Inc.	Posted - 2007.04.26 12:55:00 - [42] Hail Sigur Ros! My favorite game and my favorite band, and all from iceland! what a great country!
Nicholas Barker Caldari Black Bands Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.26 13:05:00 - [43] i've been using that second site alot, but it's hard, and the first site is cool but i don't know what they're saying in English, so i'm just learning words and sentences without knowing their meanings. ------------------------------------- The thousand corps of carebear empire decend upon you, our whines will blott out the fun.
Gene Wolfe	Posted - 2007.04.26 13:22:00 - [44] Originally by: ArtemisEntreri You'll never say a word we will understand Hey are you the guys that ran that game server company? They had an employee named artemis :)
Teron D'Amun Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.04.26 13:55:00 - [45] 'don't speak Icelandic F1,F2,F3,F4,F5' should suffice
Masta Killa BURN EDEN	Posted - 2007.04.26 14:31:00 - [46] Foreigners should forget trying to learn phrases in Icelandic, they always sound like complete retards reading their wrongly pronounced lines from little sheets of paper :\|

Or maybe the second. Is this the general sentiment in Iceland? Seems a bit meanspirited, really. So the deal is you turn up in Reykjavik and attempt, however successfully, to speak to people in their native language and they'll treat you like a retarded tourist and take the ****? Somehow I think not.

Minmatar baby	Posted - 2007.04.26 18:16:00 - [51] Edited by: Minmatar baby on 26/04/2007 18:13:41 How long can u get with using Danish up there? I can recall one time, they still had Danish Lessions in their schools, so can people still speak it up there? oh and i meet around 5-7 people that were vising denmark, and they could all speak danish.. If that fails there is always english i recon :) jß - yes - Ja nei - no - Nej pretty close to danish..
gettosmurf	Posted - 2007.04.26 20:14:00 - [52] Learning Icelandic is not that hard, well, not for me, I come from that place This stupid school system we got makes sure that we learn English and Danish. So, if you speak those languages you will do fine here. Well, probably not with Danish, most people tend to forget that chapter of horror and misery. And now my corp is going to get wardecced by every single Danish corp out there, maybe I should use an alt for this.... Nah, I'm just kidding Denmark, you know I love you, most of all Carlsberg. But we do speak English very very well, especially when you meet us in bars with beer in our hand, that's when we speak perfect English.

Trevedian Amarr KR0M The Red Skull	Posted - 2007.04.26 22:50:00 - [54] Edited by: Trevedian on 26/04/2007 22:48:11 As an American who visited Iceland for the last EVE TVÖ broadcast I can honestly say... Icelanders speak better "English" than the majority of Americans. At least the ones I spoke to did. So spend your time finding ways to earn additional money to pay for their expensive drinks instead of trying to learn a new language for a short trip. Sex0r > you're bounty turns me on.. you seem like the kind of amarrian to dominate me
Illyria Ambri Caldari	Posted - 2007.04.26 23:19:00 - [55] Everytime I try to speak Icelandish I end up spitting mucus ------------ This is not War...

RU Sirius Blueprint Haus Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.28 10:16:00 - [57] I think CCP should have a test on the door for those attending who are not native. Hall=! +g heiti RU Sirius.
Catogo	Posted - 2007.04.28 11:08:00 - [58] How do you say, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." without it coming out, "The vodka is good, but the meat is rotten" in Icelandic?
RedClaws Amarr Dragon's Rage Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2007.04.28 11:13:00 - [59] For me the problem is all those weirdo characters you have : I see an icelandic word and I can't even start to pronounce it
