Hvalfjörður, not just a meeting place for shipping convoys

Happy Days:
Yea, I didn't know so many words came from our Icelandic /Norse cousins. In fact I don't think English is actually a single language, but a compilation of other peoples languages. Apart from Norse/ Icelandic there is loads of French, Latin, German, Urdu, Greek, Arabic,.....the list goes on and on.

Perhaps that's why English is so popular globally, everyone can recognize some words as their own!  :lol:

also just for info it looks a bit like hungarian , which derives from finish
can you understand hungarian selleri

selleri:
Nobody understand Finnish, not even the Finns themselfs!  :lol:

But the answear is most likely no, Finnish and Hungarian are Uralic (along with Estonian) while Icelandic is a North Germanic language.
I can't understand anything a Finn says except maybe Nokia, though it's probably called something like Hääkkeelllipppennenenenesat in their native tounge!   :wink:

mick a:
hahahahaa
