Here are some things that you can use to study a few of the topics I’ve covered in previous posts. I haven’t taught you all of the grammar needed to understand the questions, or even everything needed to completely understand the posts I’m having you exercise, but that will have to come later or from your own textbooks.<\/p>\n

For the post about spelling<\/a>:
\nHvernig er \u00fea\u00f0 stafa\u00f0? – How is that spelled? (More literally: How is it spelled?)
\nGetur\u00f0u (“getur \u00fe\u00fa”) stafa\u00f0 nafni\u00f0 \u00feitt? – Can you spell your name? (Canyou “can you” spell namethe yours?)
\nYou can replace “nafni\u00f0” in the sentence with “heimilisfangi\u00f0” to mean home (mailing) address or “netfangi\u00f0” to mean Email address, and the rest of the sentence would be unchanged.<\/p>\n

For numbers part one<\/a> and part two<\/a>:
\nHva\u00f0 er s\u00edman\u00fameri\u00f0 \u00feitt? – What’s your phone number? (What is phonenumberthe yours?)
\nGetur\u00f0u a\u00f0 segja s\u00edman\u00fameri\u00f0 \u00feitt? – Can you say your phone number? (Canyou to say phonenumberthe yours?).
\nS\u00edman\u00fameri\u00f0 mitt er… – My phone number is… (Phonenumberthe my is…)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hva\u00f0 kostar…? – How much is… (What costs…?)
\nHere you can insert a number of things to make it a complete sentence, including “\u00feetta – this”, “h\u00fan\/hann\/\u00fea\u00f0 – it”, and the actual name of what you’re talking about. Remember that with “it”, the word has to match the gender of the thing that you’re talking about (hann – he, h\u00fan – she, \u00fea\u00f0 – it). Even if you don’t specifically say what you’re talking about in the sentence, as long as it’s clear (ex. you’re pointing to it in the store) you have to know.
\n\u00deetta kostar ___ kr\u00f3nur – This costs ____ crowns. (same)
\nH\u00fan kostar t\u00edu kr\u00f3nur – It costs ten crowns (She costs ten crowns).<\/p>\n

For names<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis was taken at the Reykjav\u00edk town library and is part of an exhibit of some kids’ artwork. Can you tell which genders the names in this photo are? Can you spell them aloud?<\/p>\n

For cooking and seasoning info<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nDo you remember the names of these in English?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
