This is awesome. PLEASE make this a regular thing. :-)
It will be Steve!
This a wonderful new segment, not only teaching the phrase, but also little tidbits about the words and about places to use it. Keep them coming!
Great fun, well done. Thanks for starting the series. Love the tracking shot out of the conference room, through the door and around the corner. Looking forward to more.
Takk. Looking forward to have more short lessons coming. Started learning Icelandic, being from Switzerland and speaking German helps. Actually I think Swissgerman is more similar to Icelandic than German.
Keep 'em coming Valur, you're a great teacher.
Yeah! I can see that, like when he left it sounded like a strange way to say tchüss. But, I started studying German and French again to aide my Icelandic comprehension (reading).
@@melissahdawn As far as I know sjáumst has nothing to do with tschüss but rather comes from sjá (engl. see / ger. sehen). I would translate sjáumst as „Wir sehen uns.“ or „See you.“.
Takk fyrir! After I visited Iceland in 2016, I became fascinated with the Icelandic language. I completed a number of online courses, and studied in books as best I could, but living where I do in Canada, I have not really had the opportunity to use the language in any meaningful way. I've got layovers planned in Reykjavik on the way to and from the Faroe Islands in the spring. (If my travel plans are not cancelled once again.) Hopefully I'll be able to order a hot dog or a beer in your language.
I love your shows! I don't always know what you're saying but I can't stop smiling while you are saying it. I love Polly Smiles. You play great music. Art is art like Don McLean is music, so your videos are always edgy and very cool. Thank You, All!
This is Great. Thank You for this video. I’ve been wanting to learn how to read and speak Icelandic. When I was there, last month, I bought a book, “Complete Icelandic “ and have been trying to learn. These Videos will help a lot.
Takk , Valur and Reykjavík Grapevine.
I've been trying to learn English for the last 60 years and now you want to teach me Icelandic?! LOL!!!
This is super great idea - it bring us even closer to your beautiful country. Love it.
Takk - frábær myndband! More videos like this would be excellent
I think you guys just found a great new video series + digital product course! "How to Learn Practical Icelandic". I lived in Iceland for 4 years and that's the best explanation/understanding of a single Icelandic sentence I've heard Valur.
Má Ég Fá Eina bjór seems like the next phrase after you get your hot dog. Thanks for the lesson.
You are very gifted in being very clear in your reportage and thank you ! Polly is the best companion !!!- lovely, cute, and playful .thank you again for all information about your mysterious country !❤️👍🌨️
The "sjaumst" at the end of the transaction reminds me of the way they say "servus" as a goodbye in Bavaria and Austria.
This is definitely more helpful than the usual „eina með öllu“ especially when you are somewhere where they sell more than just one thing. ;)
Btw. I hope Art got a Pylsu (or something else) as well - assuming he was the one behind the camera. :)
Art was inside the hot dog booth at the key point, it seems!
Brilliant! I'm learning so much about Iceland from you, Thank you!
Similar to Danish and Swedish some how. Understand a lot reading Icelandic.
'Somehow' because they're related langauges? Icelandic is just old West Norse rather than east descended
One of the more wonderful things that happened this year for me was that your Volcano went off and I found The Grapevine. I look forward to your broadcasts and learning about Iceland, and throroughly enjoying Valur and Polly who is probably the most well behaved and friendly dog in the world. I truly thank you and commend your work. Just a shout out from New Jersey
I love it! Valur goes to teach us how to order a hot dog in Icelandic and it turns out that the person is used to taking orders in English!
Thanks! Another reason to keep virtually returning to Iceland since Ragnar has gone to sleep. I love your little country more and more. So different to our Pacific island countries in so many ways but all such excellent places.
This video is great! Please post more videos like this, they are great for learning useful Icelandic phrases!
Tut you've made me want one now. Its 11.30 at night and I'm looking at this before bed. Sigh. Going to be tummy rumbling tonight. Thanks Valur. X🤣
This is a great addition to Grapevine! I hope this was just episode 1 with more to follow. Just think, if not for the volcano I wouldn't have discovered Grapevine! I never miss one and in fact, have gone back and watched many. I have a Norwegian family background and I have my own feelings about the Danes! Your country is very special ..... and I can hear the pride in your voice when you speak about it. The volcano is no more but many have fallen in love with Iceland and Grapevine!! One more thing, Polly always makes me smile... she's a beautiful and smart companion.
I appreciate how the youtube preview animation makes it look like Valur is walking down an endless flight of identical stairs.
Thank you. I love this idea! Thank you again, this is such an awesome notion, perhaps revolutionary! ❤️ ❤️
I love this! Great idea. As an Aussie, Icelandic is a total mystery, just as Aussie slang is a total mystery to other English speakers! Fair dinkum, this was grouse!!
Are you serious ?
Those hotdogs are amazing. I have to confess to having gone there more than once on my recent visit.... ;)
Love it! Good to know, I’d love to learn Icelandic but it all seems so complicated😬
Also I love hot dogs 🌭
Thank you for this fun video. Looking forward to going there someday!
I've been asking for 'ein með öllu' or...let's be honest...tvær! I'm trying to learn Icelandic, I can say a bunch of stuff (with a questionable but hopefully just about understandable accent!) But the trouble I have (setting aside the nightmarish cases and declensions!) is that if I do say eitthvað á íslensku, oft ég skil ekki svarað! It's easier for me to understand written Icelandic than spoken - maybe I need a t-shirt that says "Bara svara já eða nei" ?!
that was cute! I'm glad Polly had a hot dog too.
What a great little film! Again! Truly enjoyed it! Let's do that again!
German is my second language - it helps me a lot with Icelandic. This was fun! Please do more of these language videos. Hello to Valur, Art and Polly from Portland, Oregon.
What a great idea to put these linguistic capsules online! Takk fyrir! This is a really perfect complement with my Drops app to learn Icelandic vocabulary because it gives us some notions of grammar also! This is going to be fun on our next visit hahaha!
Keep up with those: we love’em
Enjoyed this one.
So happy to, finally, sign up! Can't wait to see new postings! Hoping to visit Iceland in my next life!!!😂
This was very informative, thank you! It would be great if you could teach us more phrases and show us around your favourite or other small places!
That's the plan Emilio!
That was fun! Thanks.
Excellent idea for a series!
Thanks!
Loved this video! More please! 😁
This is the raisin at the end of the hot dog! Thank you!
indeed the best hot dog 😉 I ordered in english before we joined you at the city walk. i am also really glad as a german that i know now how to order a beer in Icelandic 🤣 funny thing with that teaching lessons because i just started to learn Icelandic 👍
Love it..also a nice treat for Polly. 🌭
This is the same hotdog stand we went to on our trip in September! I had no idea you guys were literally around the corner haha...
It's the most popular one in town!
I study Icelandic using the dropsapp. They say pylsa. Not Reykjavik style then. And they teach bless. Not blessaður like you seemed to say. Thanks for explaining the words you use. I like this segment. Good preparation for a visit to Iceland
Thanks a lot for this video! There are so few videos like these! Please keep it up :)
The problem is that when you know only this one sentence, people will answer in Icelandic and then you are totally lost :-)
Never mind - enjoy the immersion! Glass half empty, ocean half full, enjoy the paddling!
That's the point of a full practical language course :)
Well, you'll be full up on hot dogs! 😄
WoW!! That looks like a Good Hot Dog. Our Hot Dogs here in the USA are one inch shorter than each end of the bun. Yall Have The Real Deal!! Thank You For Sharing. Stay Safe!!
I ate at that hot dog stand. Very Good. I ordered in English.
The only Icelandic phrase I remember is from 50 years ago when it was taught to me by a group of Icelanders at a camping festival, who had me say it to everyone passing by. "gefðu mér að drekka". What a great time, even though I could hardly stand up at the end of that day :)
I guess you were taught to blag drinks...
you can also just go up there and say "eina með öllu", one with everything
Great ! I recognize this place... I was frozen... this "pylsu" was for me almost a surviving stuff ! (It was not as good as they said -"best pylsu ever", but it was good enough)
Love it…commit to memory banks 👍🏼
Oh this is fun!
His english was perfect. That'll do me 😊
Já! More please!
Me: Má Ég Fá Eina Pylsu
Burger vendor: That will be £100s please!
It was $36 US for three hotdogs when I was there in June of 2019.
Ya makin' me hungry! And Polly knows what's coming as you walk away from that Pylsu stand. By the way, what's that tune at the end of this video? Cheers!
Omg I want a hot dog so baaaaaad 😭
02:38 , the first bit of litter I've seen in Iceland on one of these reports..
Polly is an adorable dog. And she never meets a stranger, she is friendly to everyone. If you can’t throw her frisbee, she’ll fetch the frisbee from anyone who throws it. What breed of dog is she?
She's mostly border collie but her exact parentage is unknown!
No Hot Dog for Art?
A very direct translation to Swedish would be "Må jag få en pölsa?". We don't often use "må" (English cognate: may) nowadays, though. In modern Swedish "pölsa" refers to a special dish, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%B6lsa. In modern Swedish we would instead say "Kan jag få en korv?" as a complete sentence. But most people would just say "En korv, tack" when ordering.
Hi Teach! There I thought Pylsu was beer (like dutch pils!) 🤣.. How do you say veggie dog? 🍎 apple for the Teacher! Oh yes Bles-bles
1 pimp steak, gracias.
Hot Dog how much did Polly get Tweeted this.
OH boy Icelandic Hot Dog Heaven Ja Takk
pretty sure I'll still order mine in English but thanks. what was that you said at the end tho. Sjáumst?
Yes, it means 'see you'
May I get one PYLSUM? PYLSUM??? 🌭🌭🌭🌭 😁 Sehr schwer für mich!!! 😵
It's pylsa in singular. If you want two hot dog you can say, má ég fá tvær (two) pylsur.
Wow if you are hard of hearing Icelsndic becomes really hard especially if you talk fast.
Wait .. Valur aren't you Icelandic? and you don't speak the language fluently? or did I hear you wrong that you don't speak it all that well or don't know all the words? lol, someday I need to learn another language but I'm not sure If I want to learn Icelandic because I cant twist my tongue around to even pronounce some of the words lol. I can't even spell Icelandic words! haha. I'm glad Polly got a hot dog too!
Kim Kardahian eats hotdogs?
May be you should begin with the most important words (what I found out at least): please, thank you, yes, no, hello, good, bad, excuse me, good day (or whatever you say in Iceland), and of course "Sorry, I don't speak Icelandic" 😆
But seriously, what I find most difficult is, that the written form of words have not much to do with the way it is pronounced. At least for someone who speaks German or English. On the other hand, I was surprised of some similarities of Icelandic and German words.
I don't need to know the language, I'll never be there.....
I heard that Icelandic is one of the most difficult languages to learn.
Difficult to say where it is on the scale, lot's of difficult languages out there, but when it comes to nordic languages Icelandic is more difficult than Norwegian/Swedish/Danish, which is more 'english/german-fied'. Icelandic is more 'old school' and unike (even though quite much modernized/simplified through time since old norse)
@@Rimrock300 Icelandic is pretty high up on the scale of difficult languages, right up there with Arabic. I tried Arabic for five days at university, but since I was also studying Russian at the time, I bailed on the Arabic. :)
2:37 - what's wrong with ppl in line?
Ha ha I have tried ordering a hot dog in icelandic. My brother lived there for 13 years. Didn't go down well. Need to work on that!
