As a former library worker, I can honestly say that these never stopped long enough to be reshelved, they are that popular with the locals. Get your Stella Blómkvist on today!

Us Icelanders take our Easter eggs VERY seriously. Every egg has a proverb inside it and people share theirs and we discuss the meaning :) But you wanted to know how to say páskar didn't you? It is pronounced POW-scar, pow as in Batman's Pow! and scar as in, well scar, POW-scar. Gleðilega páska!

The lóa has arrived, it’s officially spring! The Icelandic word for spring is "Vor" and it’s pronounced [VOh-rr]. You start with Voh, which like saying "war" with a V and follow up with a rolling R :) Happy spring peeps!

We’ve had our first sighting of the European golden plover this year! It is called “lóa” in Icelandic and is thought to be the bringer of spring, and as we all know, the lóa don’t lie! It is pronounced [LO-wah] - LO as in the word “low” and wah as in a chef’s kiss, mwah! 💋 Happy spring peeps!

“Eldgos” is Icelandic for volcanic eruption. It’s pronounced [ELLE-d-goss] - Elle, like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, followed by a soft D (sort of like turning Elle into a past tense verb 🤓) and ends with goss, as in some hot goss. Try it and let me know how you get on in the comments ☺️

Happy Saturday everone! Bit of back to basics today, how to say hello in Icelandic. You start off like you’re saying hello in English but instead of the E we use an A 🤓

Hey hey, happy Lunar New Year everyone! Wishing you all a year filled with good fortune and prosperity.It is the Year of the Dragon so I thought I would teach you how to say "dragon" in Icelandic, or “dreki”.

Not saying I’m yelling this at the dairy aisle at my local Whole Foods but I’m not saying I’m not…🥸

100% can confirm 🍦

This is THE mustard used in Iceland and the design has never changed. If it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Back at the airport! Same idea as yesterday, ask me any Iceland related questions you have, I’ll also throw in some randoms!

Stuck at an airport for who knows how long, anyone got any Iceland questions I can answer? If not, this might just be me spouting randoms until my flight eventually leaves or my phone dies.

Random Icelandic: One of my favourite words is “Ógæfuhlið” which directly translates to “the side of misfortune”, which sounds very dramatic! In context it would be translated as “downhill”, i.e. things are going downhill.

Random Icelandic: The word for “king” is konungur, pronounced CON-ooh-n-gr.

Random Icelandic word: Borðstofuborð (Dining Room Table), directly translates as the table in the room with the dining room table.

Random Icelandic of the day: The names of the main Star Wars characters were also translated for subtitles when Ep IV came out. Darth Vader: Svarthöfði (Black Head), Luke Skywalker: Logi Geimgengill (Spacewalker), Han Solo: Hans Óli (regular name), Princess Leia: Leia prinsessa (direct translation)

Hullo, new to the party 👋🏻
