Do you know Icelandic? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Good morning.

"Góðan daginn" means literally "Good day". Some people often add the word "blessaðan" between "Góðan daginn" to make "Góðan blessaðan daginn", which puts more emphasis on the fact that the day is really good.

Answer: Goodbye.

Means literally "Bye-bye". Saying only "Bless" is also right but for some reason most Icelanders say it twice. It's the same in English: "Bye" and "Bye-bye".

Answer: Yes

"Já" means simply "yes". But saying "já já" means that you are frustrated or bored of hearing about something.

Answer: What's your name?

Means literally "What are called you?". People answer this question by saying "Ég heitir...", which means "My name is...".
About Icelandic names: almost all Icelandic surnames end in "son" or "dóttir". These two words mean "son" and "daughter" respectively. People put their father's name in front of "-son" or "-dóttir" to make a surname.
Example:
A man is called Jón (John) and his father is Davíð (David). Then this guy has the surname "Davíðsson" (There are two 's' because it's like "David's son" in English).
A woman called Kristín (Christy) and her father is Davíð, then her full name will be "Kristín Davíðsdóttir".

Answer: What are you doing?

To make this sentence sound rude, people use the word "djöfulsins" instead of "hvað". The whole sentence will then be "Djöfulsins ertu að gera?" which can be translated as "What the hell are you doing?".

Answer: False

"Hvernig gengur?" means "How are you doing?". People often say this when they greet each other, showing that they care about the other person.

Answer: How old are you?

The literal translation is "What are you old?". To answer this, we say "Ég er ... ára", which means "I am ... years old".
About the word "gamall", which means "old": if you add "hund" (dog) in front of it to make "hundgamall", it is now an impolite way of saying "very old".

Answer: False

"Ég er strákur" means "I am a boy".
Some common words: strákur = boy; stelpa = girl; maður = man; kona = woman.

Answer: cinema

The word "bíó" means "cinema". Another word meaning "cinema" in Icelandic is "kvikmyndahús", meaning literally "movie-house".

Answer: takk

"Takk fyrir" = Thanks for (it)
"Þakka þér fyrir" = Thank you for (it)

and many more...
