That's interesting. It definitely is used with humans but can also be used with animals, like a cat walking with trepidation. Overall, though, it is a pretty rare word and not used so frequently.

Thank you. I'm happy you found the video useful and thank you for your continued support. Take care.

Neither, I'd say. Niflheim / Hel in the Norse conception isn't a lake of fire... it's just kinda boring, muted colors, stuff like that. No demons or fire or torture... that's all Christian.

@@MookKook-x8p Most of these words are pretty normal for every day use; just need to use them in the right context. Though most of the antonyms and synonyms on the lists are higher level words.

@@LearnwithKrisV sure sir

Good health to you.

Thank you for watching.

They are certainly complex AF and probably unknowable.

@@Leeloodallasmultipass99 Thanks for watching.

Any particular aspect of Norse mythology that you'd like to focus on? I'm always looking for new video ideas.

@@Kuratla I know most of the tales and lore. Maybe doing a series on the lore, but then go one step deeper and explain how the lore impacted the culture, or the culture impacted the lore.

@@dilly2000 I’ll give it some thought. Thanks for the idea.

@@LearnwithKrisV thankyou

@@ksenya1ya It would sound weird to “pick off chess pieces”. Normally we use “take” or “capture” for that. Thanks for your comment.

@@janetsanders5356 I guess I could. I may get around to it someday but ultimately it doesn’t matter.

@@johnbedinghaus2390 I’m assuming that you have not watched my other videos on Odin as the god of knowledge and poetry.

Of course. Learning never ends.

I'm sorry about the loss of your eyesight in one eye. My sacrifices have been... less severe.. at least physically. But thank you for watching and thank you for your comment. Skal.

I think some examples of "de" words show "de-" as meaning "down"... like "descend" (to go down), "demote" (to go down in rank), "degrade" (to go down in quality), and others. And I do use 'its' for third person possessive, yes. There may be exceptions but, as far as I know, "its' is a possessive pronoun (eg, 'The dog licked its own balls.') while "it's" is just a contraction of "It is" (eg, "It's a beautiful day, don't you think?"). There are probably exceptions... English is full of them.

@@AntonSlavik I will keep plugging along, indeed. Thanks for your support.

@@henriquecandiotto8169 Thank you, my friend, for your support. The videos will keep coming.

@@sidvich I will visit one day. It’s a dream of mine.

@@Leeloodallasmultipass99 Great question and not an easy one to answer. But I have a coupe of ideas about the Jotnar. First idea is that they are a competitive family to the gods. They are supernatural and powerful, coming from the first being Ymir. They intermarry and interbreed with the gods all the time. They have interactions with the gods than just killing each other… like Odin’s knowledge test against Vafthrunir and I believe a giant was present at Baldr’s funeral. Second idea is that they are purely motivated by revenge to the extent that they will destroy all creation. When Odin and his brothers killed Ymir, his blood caused a flood that nearly wiped out the giants. Only Bergelmir and his wife survived and they repopulated the Jotun race (yeah, smells like Noah’s ark story and no doubt influenced it). Did Odin purposely try to genocide the Jotnar? They probably think so and Ragnarok is their vengeance.

@@Leeloodallasmultipass99 Oh. I answered specifically about Norse mythology but perhaps you were asking in general. In that case, I don’t know. I know little about giants in other mythologies… not enough for me to comment on.

@@LearnwithKrisV I appreciate your response many thanks

@@Leeloodallasmultipass99 You're welcome. I'd love to hear your feedback on my answer. Dialogue is a good thing.

Well, not heaven nor hell nor angels. That's too much Christian imagery. Valhalla or Folkvangr (for the slain in battle) or Hel (for everyone else... with one exception I believe, Sinfjotli from the Saga of the Volsung. He got into Valhalla despite not dying in battle).

@@LearnwithKrisV You could also go to Hel, ruled by the Godess Hel, which is where the ones that didn't end up in Folkvangr or Valhal. Of course if you died at sea you ended up in the weeds laid there by Ran (godess of under sea).

@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 Most end up in Hel. I kinda don't agree that Hel (the woman) is a goddess though. She is the child of Loki and Angrboda and she is monstrous, sister to Fenris-Wolf and the Midgard Serpent. Given domain over Hel (the place) by the gods doesn't make her a goddess herself. Also, don't forget that the champions of Hel will be fighting against the Aesir and Vanir during Ragnarok so she is clearly team Jotunn.

@@LearnwithKrisV she ia a jotun but for us "mortals" she is a god. The Jotun are gods too. Just as the Vanir and the Aesir.

@@swedmiroswedmiro1352 I just made a video about the Jotunn. They are anti-gods, at best. Chaos and destruction to the Aesir's order and structure. Check out that video and let me know what you think.

Thank you.

Odinokiy meaning "one eyed"... well, that's pretty interesting. But makes sense.

Thank you. If this is Susan, unfortunately, there are no classes available this week. Hopefully there will be some for next week.

Thank you for the comment, Henrique. Yeah, "self-esteem" is a neutral word by itself because it can be "high' or 'low' or 'absent". A person can have high self-esteem, low self-esteem, or no self-esteem. All are possible. Next video (I think) will be: co-, post-, de-, semi-, pro- and should be out in a few days. Tchau!

I agree with you partially. I'd definitely say that Thor's primary "domains" are thunder (because that's what his name means) and protector of Asgard and Midgard (evident in a lot of poems) but I would include the secondary domain of war... or, at least, warlike. Thor was constantly out warring against the Jotnar. It was his favorite thing to do. He didn't shy away from a fight. I mean, it's all up to interpretation, right? Regardless, thank you for watching and commenting.

"Heilir þeirs hlýddu." Health to you who hears (the words of Odin). Thank you for your support.

Odin is directly called "All-Father" (Alföðr) many times in the sources. What that means is certainly up to interpretation. And there is no doubt that there is a Christain influence on the eddas, especially the Prose Edda. Snorri was a Christian.

I'd agree that Odin is well traveled and goes by many names, constantly disguising himself as he travels the world and the realms. But why all the travel? I think that's the question to look at. Travel for its own sake? Or travel to learn and grow in knowledge and wisdom? I'd say the latter myself.

@LearnwithKrisV and he is literally the Chooser of the dead so he's the one that decides the battle. And then Freya gets to choose who she takes home with her and he gets what's left over. Something like that anyways. Yes he's actually looking for Mimner. And for his eye and he's hiding from frigga. And he's looking for a way to save Balder. But yes I guess you can see knowledge. Because that's what I look at him as the most of the god of wisdom. Just like I look at Freya as the goddess of wisdom and magic for more than any simple goddess of love are Beauty because you never said that it just says everyone loved her so much because she was so beautiful. It never says she's literally the goddess of love our Beauty. It says fertility Earth wisdom war and Magic

@@youtubebane7036 Freyja is definitely beautiful. There's a whole bunch of poems and stories about the giants trying to marry her. If you have the time, check out my video on "Odin as the god of knowledge". I do talk about the Well of Mimir and mention Freyja in relation to Heith / Gullveig and seithr magic. There's timestamps on that video so easy to navigate.

@@LearnwithKrisV I definitely will my friend. Yeah Freyja is my favorite thing.

I'm not sure if Hel is considered a goddess or not. She is divine in the sense of having supernatural parents (Loki [half-god / half-Jotun] is Hel's father and Angrboda [full Jotun] is Hel's mother) but I don't think she ranks among the Aesir nor Vanir. Remember that Hel is also the sibling of Fenrir and Jörmungandr and they are definitely not gods. They are the enemies of the gods. So I would say that Hel was given domain over the unchosen dead by the gods but she isn't a goddess herself. Just my interpretation. And thank you for the watching the video.

@@LearnwithKrisV loki himself is aesir so his children would be a quarter god. I know the Norse sagas are not reliable as sources get confusing Angrboda gets sited as Gulveig but Freyja also gets sited as Gulveig as they are both aesir who cry golden tears. Good video fun watch

@@mandisinclair1632 I am unfamiliar with Angrboda and Gullveig being equated. Do you have a source that I can read up on? Freyja and Gullveig are definitely linked together as possibly the same individual. Both Vanir goddesses, both know seithr magic. I did mention Gullveig and seithr magic in my latest video (shameless plug). 😀

@@mandisinclair1632 Loki is not a Aisir. He was a mischievous fire Spirit that started following Odin around and they became friends. Don't listen to marvel

@@youtubebane7036 Loki and Odin are blood brothers (Lokasenna stanza 9).

Thanks Henrique. It doesn't surprise me that those prefixes are the same in Portuguese because English and Portuguese have similar Latin roots... though the Germanic roots of English, of course, will be quite different from Portuguese and other Romance languages.

Thanks for the input.

So, are you saying that that Odin, Thor, Freyja, etc became Christian angels?

I'm not so sure about the angels, but they definitely did this with the pagan deities, turning them into saints. They devalue the pagan deities to elevate their own God as "higher". Similar to what odin does in my earlier comment, referring to hnikuth. The difference being that the christians made the change to belittle and devalue and criminalise the worship of the old gods (idolatry bad). Whereas Odin's self elevation is one of mastering the mind and becoming a higher version (wiser self).

@LearnwithKrisV no. National gods where replaced with national.angels. called principalities. Where we get the term for nations.

@BorisMagnus I dont mean directly. I mean transposition not replacement.

@BorisMagnus Yes they devalue the deities themselves but they rationalise certain universal ideas of coming of God and that pagan gods where just warped imagination or poorly understood revelation. I can't recall if it was Augustine who expanded on this. I'll have to go read up again.

Build up that suspense. :)

@@henriquecandiotto8169 Absolutely, Henrique. I am happy to read comments and receive feedback from the viewers. Please let me know your thoughts. Look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you.

I think motivation is a big part of discipline. Consider why you are learning English. Is it very important for you? Will English benefit your life? If so, you should have a lot of motivation to continue to study regularly. Find your motivation and you'll find the discipline to study.
