Quick question...many people claim that the Dwarves are actually Dark Elves, do you believe these claims? I sure as heck don't because for one thing, there's no such thing as a bearded elf in folklore

How bad did she do? I'm really into Norse mythology but most of my research into the subject is through reading so I never really knew exactly how to pronounce these names. Where did she go wrong?

@airesragnmag9329 2 года назад

@@onionbubs386 There are just a lot of sounds in Icelandic that are quite different from English, like for example the letter ð. She pronounced it as a d, when it sound more like when you put the letters th together in English. Also the cows name is written wrong here, her name is Auðhumla not Auðhumbla, minor mistake but for me it was very noticeable. Also the creatures Mare, Myling and Fossegrim I am not familiar with. Those must be from non Icelandic sources. I studied norse mythology for years growing up and have always been very interested in it. If you really enjoy norse mythology I recommend trying to find a book names Völuspá, I don't know if there are good English translations of it but it is basically just a really long poem about the course of Ragnarök from what happens before it, during it, and what happens after it. It is really cool but it might lack the impact after it is translated. Sorry for the long ass comment.
