I illustrate Icelandic words and phrases :)
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 ☺️

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