On the other hand, I think that it's a shame that the Israeli Government, whose people suffered most from the Nazi time (!), are so harsh against the rest of the Middle East, e.g. eye for an eye policy against Palestinians (let's kill some civilist Palis after a terrorist attack), or Iran (everyone's upset when Iran wants nuclear weapons, but then, why has Israel the right to posess nukes?). I'm sure that McCain will start war on Iran if he becomes president. It's just an unfair world... :S

Jo, dagens isl ändska är i stort sett samma språk som talades i Norge för 800 år sen (västfornnordiska). Då var språkskillnaderna inom Norden inte så stora.
Både isländska och svenska är germanska språk. Germansk syftar inte på tyska, utan på den germanska språkfamiljen. Alla germanska språk här stammar från "urgermanskan" från ca 500 f Kr.
Och ja, tyskan påverkade svenskan (och norskan och danskan) väldigt mycket under hansatiden. Det är bl a därför skillnaden mot isländska är så stor idag.

Are you talking ...( 1 week ago by bla287)
Are you talking about Germanic languages? I know Icelandic hasn't changed very much in the last centuries, it's still very close to old Norn. But I don't think that the difference between Swedish/Norwegian/Danish and Icelandic was caused by German Hanse influence. I think the Scandinavian languages just have gone their own way, because I'm German, and I understand most of the words when reading a English or Dutch text (West Germanic), but almost no word when reading Scandinavian (North Germanic)
Well I see that you ...( 1 week ago by sillisillisillio)
Well I see that you understand English as write it! =)
But I wouldnt agree on that germans don't understand Swedish and I have sevaral examples of Germans finding Swedish extremely easy to read/learn as many words are the same.
And the other way around Im able to read Dutch just fine (with some help of my German knowledge though)and if I dont know a German word "making the Swedish word sound German" is correct in 90% of all cases.
The German ...( 1 week ago by sillisillisillio)
The German influence was a lot more than just the Hansa actually. If you google it you can see that German has been the outstanding biggest influencer on Swedish throughout the years. Obviously everything isnt spelled the same way but once you have learned how swedish "works" Im sure the similarities are obvious to everyone! ;)
Oh, this works for ...( 1 week ago by bla287)
Oh, this works for you? Maybe I just haven't got enough fantasy when reading a Swedish text :D. But I see a lot of words which have similarities to English, where the German word is totally different:
sjuk - sick - krank
f örst - first - erster
våt - wet - nass
hel - whole - ganz (heil is used very rarely)
hjul - wheel - Rad
..and so on
And I noticed that the "Ü" sound is used very often in Swedish.

Wow you found 5 words! Good job! ...or 4 actually cause krank in swedish means - guess what? Sick!
Funny, there is one Swedish word that comes to my mind right now - besserwisser. No its not a good thing. Especially when you arent even right...

Ah no, I didn't want to be a "besserwisser", I just wanted to say that I find Swedish much more complicated than Dutch, though Swedish sounds much better :D

And by the way, another Swedish word I've seen a few times comes to my mind right now: "fick". That doesn't really mean what I think right now, does it? It seems to be a typical "false friend".
Yes Dutch and ...( 6 days ago by sillisillisillio)
Yes Dutch and German is a lot closer, I totally agree. But Swedish has tons of similarities with German nevertheless.
People have wondered about my "fickkalender" a few times =) The actual word is ficka and means pocket/Tasche. Or you might be thinking of the verb få (= to get something) which is fick in the past tense.

Ah, "Vicks" is a good one, never thought about that ;)
But what's the problem with "denta", doesn't it just mean e.g. the hollow in the surface of a car when you slightly hit it (like English "dent" or German "Delle")?
Wouldn't you say "knulla" or sth like that :D
BTW I finally found a word with three totally different meanings in Swedish/English/German:
