| Icelandic Word Game - I think it\'s time the Icelandic Forum gets a word association game. It will be beneficial to improving our Icelandic vocabulary and hopefully allow us to learn from one another. It\'s played like this: you post the word that you think of when you see the persons post above yours. Make sure to include both the Icelandic word and its English translation! Example: Person 1: vetur - winter Person 2: kuldafatnaur - winter clothes Person 3: jakki - jacket Now, lets start: tunglskin - moonlight | |
