Hungary? why is that a problem? The Heruli came out of Hungary and moved into Scandinavia. I told you 4 years ago that I would find Thorkell the Tall and I have in his land transactions, now you discount Hungary. Did not Ragnar say that his people were from the Danube? Y-DNA is now inplay and it confirms as well as opens wounds.
I am CTS4528 and Ragnar Lothbrok is my ancestor via Sigurd Snake in the Eye, ”Gesta Wulinensis ecclesiae pontificum” confirms the lineage. If the Aesir came from the East then their DNA would be rare--got ya!
Hvordan bruker dere "farvel" i dagligt tale? Er det mer formelt/høytideligt? Eller är det likestilt "bei" og brukes på samme måte? Hilsen fra Svitjod (men prøver å skrive på norsk, håper det vil være førståelig 😊)
'Farvæl' er mere formelt, ikke ligestillet med 'bei'. 'Farvæl' kan bruges blandt venner og familie, især hvis man forventer at der går lang tid før man ser hinanden igen. Hvis man forventer at ses igen i morgen, så ville man sige 'bei', 'síggjast (í morgin)', eller alt í 'lagi'.
Interesting stuff, I might be going to the Faroe Islands next year to do my exchange semester there. Most of the courses are in Faroese so the challenge is to be able to understand it by the start of my exchange. Heri would you be interested to share more about the Faroese language and culture on our language podcast whenever you have time? You can see the previous 66 episodes on my channel if you want to know how it is.
Herri thanks again for your videos all these Germanic languages are kind of easy for you guys to learn as you show us examples here and like you said a bit of time and there you are knowing another Germanic language it’s like the Romance languages if you know one the others are easy to learn because they all come from Latin
Outstanding my brother I think the best way to learn a language is by speaking it even if you are not doing it well and instead of switching to English they should correct you and keep on speaking the language but of course if really up to the person learning 😊
Paul Watson have been arrested, good riddance ! Everything you said about sea shepherd is right, exept the fact that they're the same as anti-vax people
I love your superb explanation. Smá athugasemd varðandi íslenskuna :-) . Icelandic is not only so archaic because we had such a rich written history. I guess Iceland is the only country where the clock was turned back a few hundred years with respect to the language. The independence movement cleaned the language from Danish influence and reinstated Icelandic as it had been centuries before. Imagine the Germans deciding to go back to Mittelhochdeutsch... If I remember right does Norsk Bokmal trace its roots to Danish and is classified as part of the East-Norse languages, while Nynorsk is the old Norwegian and is part of the Western Norse languages or Island-Norse. (Not Iceland-Norse) ;-) Or mabe I just have a bad memory. I understand your "Chinese" comment very well. I do not understand Faroese unless spoken very slow. I grew up with German and speak it like a native. Years later I moved to Zurich. Same here I understood nothing, but after 6 months the dialect opened up like a window. Same thing. Takk fyrir!
Oh man, thanks for this! I really had a great time watching this video! I was a Týr fan for a while but unfortunately I haven't listened to your stuff as of late (will get back into it!) I saw your name and my ears perked; I knew I would enjoy this. I had an online friend from the Faroes who helped me with a strange project.. I had a base knowledge of Icelandic, and I happened to love the song Norðlýsið - Byrta. It was quite the interesting time where I would have an Icelandic dictionary and using what little skills I had to get the "translation", but he had a wild time just laughing how different it was. Got the translation and that was my first experience to Faroese. Quite the amazing time hahaha Coming from Australia, where we don't really get a second language until high school (in many cases), I'm really happy that even through colonization with the Danish; everyone maintained Faroese, and you're all keeping the language strong. Thank you so much for everything you're doing and also passing along the knowledge to all of us who are interested! x
I first got curious about Faroese from Týr's music over a decade ago - I've now come full circle as I'm planning to stay there for a few months and wanted to check some basic language stuff, funny that it's your videos that crop up. I know some Norwegian and it looks like there's enough crossover in the basic words, but I love some of the different pronunciations
You guys were absolutely awesome to see live in Austin!!! First time I had ever seen Tyr live I was so blown away by the professionalism of your sound guy to make it work at that classic crusty venue lmfao. How would one go about sending Tyr a gift by the way? I want to make something really special since Tyr has been huge in so many ways to me, from the moment I started listening to now 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you very much. We're glad you liked the show. If you want to send us something, please send us a direct message on tyr@tyr.fo and we'll discuss further there :)
I often complain that unlike the case with the Scandinavian languages, or the Romance languages, or the Slavic languages, English has no "near neighbors", and so English is useless for understanding any other languages. While I still believe this is generally true, it is interesting that sometimes I do have to admit that English, for all its Romance and other loan words, is at its core still a Germanic language, and this shows up very clearly in the counting numbers and other core structures. But after that, we English-only folks get left behind, will still never know what it is like to be a Faroese person reading Icelandic text, a Swede conversing with a Norwegian, a Norwegian reading Danish text, etc.
Well of course haha you're not being welcome, even being an agnostic one can see that insulting other people's beliefs and then saying "oh why they don't accept us?" and wearing a "Jesus f*** me shirt" as he said, It's the stupidest thing I've heard, and we know this world is money driven mentality and politics anyways, but if as the band says "all is one", then we should respect each other, I hope we can all remember that, cheers and love
Giving it a listen now. Always the best, you never disappoint! I can't wait to hear you talk about the background for some of these songs. You always come up with such interesting vocal melodies. I don't think I've ever heard somebody write them the way you do.
So glad i got to see you guys in Baltimore! The vip was amazing! Listened to the album at least 10 times by now, really feels like the best of old and new tyr!
Looks like you had the real Calgary river walk experience! Bikers passing you very closely, a Canada Goose just off the path and a guy fishing under the 10th Street bridge! Great show last night! Seeing Tyr live has been on my bucket list for over a decade and it was fun to sing along with all the traditional ballads.
Saw you all on the first day of the tour! Bought the CD early! Fans are gonna like it I think. Torkils Døtur in particular blew me away. Causa Latronum Normannorum as well.
I'd say for sure Causa Latronum Normannorum is my favorite, with Torkils Døtur probably my second favorite, altogether a great album, have listened quite a few times since I bought it in Boston. I think the Latin in Causa puts Tyr up to 5 languages in their songs lol, Faroese, Norwegian, Danish, English, and Latin
