You Know You Are Dating an Icelandic Woman When...

My wife is Icelandic, came up to me in a bar and asked my full name, she said 'I am not letting you get away ''. That was twenty years ago. Crazy women.

You forgot the part where she beats you in armwrestling, and you discover she's a Crossfit champion and her father lifts giant boulders for fun. Her name is Thorsdottir, you should have known.

I was deployed to Iceland for a while. Had a friend who dated an Icelandic woman. She took him home to meet her parents. When she went out of the room, her parents told him they hoped he enjoyed dating their less intelligent daughter, because she only spoke 4 languages and their other one spoke 7.

You know you're dating an icelandic woman when she's from Iceland

You know you are dating an Icelandic woman when her last name ends ''dóttir''.

The Icelandic girl acting was really natural .

This was totally funny especially the "stomach sisters" part. I nearly died! Icelandic girls...my kind a woman!

Its like watching an Imperial living in Skyrim or some shit.

Im from iceland and my grandpa (my mothers father) is one of 16 children and my father is one of 16 children as well. I really need to be careful when it comes to my dating life.

wait I know her shes the one who taught people how to pronounce norse words properly in youtube

What an amazing country! Such a beautiful scenery! Would love to visit Iceland! ❤️

love it, learning something new and adding humor to it. bravo guys.

Omg that first scene was hilarious. I was not expecting that.

From my experience dating some Icelandic girls in Denmark: - They only take the initiavite in Iceland. When they're abroad, men are expected to do the first move, as usual. In the best case, what can happen is that if they feel like they want to sleep with somebody that night and you are considered acceptable for the task and available, they may tell you directly that after the date they want to go to your place etc, but this doesn't imply they're interested in you. You must be aware of this behaviour (which is in general true for Scandinavian) and accept it or it will lead to unpleasant situations. - They may be quite picky , even in Iceland... Don't believe that you go to Iceland and girls will go after you just for being an outsider. Good thing: they are really friendly for being Scandinavians, they talk to people and don't get spooked if you talk to them before alcohol kicks in.

I love the casual style; no pretensions. We're all one big happy family 😆

it was really interesting and funny! thank you.

nice place!

That actually seems like a top date, an attractive, friendly, chilled out girl who likes getting outdoors and enjoys a social drink. Keep doing what your doing Iceland, you got this.

The cousin app is mostly because you don't inherit the family name, as explained later in the video. So no other way to know whether you are related.

Great video,many thanks I really enjoyed to watch. Warm greetings from the garden island of Kauai

This was SO much fun!! Thank you guys so much, this was amazing❤️❤️❤️ ahhh! 🇮🇸

Such a beautiful country, with beautiful girls as well

I nearly spat my tea out laughing! Excellent!

Wow, the very best out of all your clips here!!! Amazingly interesting.. ans soo natural!

I never knew about the cousin app, that’s so crazy!

wait; hook-up culture is big and also almost everyone is related..........

This was really fun. Good job.

Nice Video. I have been to Iceland twice. Greetings from Colombia, South America.

Damn, Iceland looks like a good place to find dates, cause I can't make the first move 😅😂

pfft, you're only 3rd cousins. That's no need to call it off!

Really fun to watch. Nice job.

Lovely, I like learning about different cultures

I’ve seen most of the vids in this series, but this was by far the funniest! I literally spat out toothpaste at the “stomach sisters” part!

I love how this language sounds.

So very true .... all of it! My first real girlfriend was Icelandic, and you have basically described her in the first 2/3 of this video.

Wow sounds really interesting! Apart from the way of living the beauty of the country! Must go

yesss do more nordic countries!

Isn't this Hrafna?(I always forget the right way to say it ugh)

Awesome video guys.

Very charming :) Thank you for the video.

I've been to Iceland and have nothing but good things to say about the country and the people. The people were especially friendly to me and crime is pretty much non existent. I was even able to fool one of them in the mall, she thought I was from Iceland and not a tourist until I finally spoke and told her in English that I didn't understand a word she was saying to me. She smiled and was a little embarrassed but we still kept talking but in English now. I am from America and was touring with a group and had some free time on my hands and thought I would walk to the mall.

The first one made me laugh so hard XD "i did not sign up for this" XD Okay i need a ticket for Iceland NOW !!!!!!!!

Loved it!

icelandic random person: "yooo, i slept with that girl too, bro...how was she? we are stomach brothers now" me:...........WHAT THE F@*%$

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES. Oh! Norway and Sweden next! ♡♡♡

0:55 I'm DEAD 😂 I had to pause the video, I was laughing out loud so much.

I think I need to move to Iceland 🇮🇸!!! Fascinating country and culture.

Very educational indeed!

Great video Marina! Beautiful view of Iceland 🇮🇸. The Icelandic girl is very pretty. I hope to visit there one day since my parents got to visit Iceland.

Thank you Marina for uploading a video about dating an Icelandic woman and guide to Iceland

Ah, this is a breathtakingly stunning country! Such a pleasure to watch your videos!

The very first scene just blew my mind. Learn something new everyday.

I really like this episode. And the icelandic language sounds so beautiful to me :)

"Oh, We are going OOUUTT" - That's Iceland for ya !!

I love the outdoor part! My kinda of woman!

🤣 Love it, sounds like it will be a perfect fit for me!

Man, exactly my kind of environment haha. Much love from Brazil.

I must find an Icelandic girl as soon as possible

Very nice video, regards from the Netherlands

Thank you for this videos I love Ice land

Fascinating Marina! Got to know many new facts about Iceland!! Beautiful people in this video!!😘

O.k Icelanders are officially the coolest I've seen till now I hope I'll get the chance to meet some one day!

Fascinating country and people 💜

I went there a couple of Decembers ago to see the Northern Lights. It's a beautiful country. The people are very friendly.

Third cousins? Smash.

Best ad ever to get single guys flocking to Iceland.

Gives a whole new meaning to Long Distance Relationship.

This is sooooo great! 😂

Watching the first couple of seconds... Me: Why are they being so awk - oh my... 😆

I visited Iceland while in the US Navy. Great country. Damn good beer.

I'm going to check how much do flight tickets to Iceland cost.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO !!!!! I NEED TO VISIT ICELAND.

I knew I saw you there in the church 😄 Iceland is so beautiful, isn't it? Good Video though, always nice to learn more about different cultures.

I love Iceland, i love the language and i love everything about it, the landscapes, the mythology, the people, everything! As a half Native American half Greek girl, Iceland seems so beautifully mysterious, and so different from what i've experienced. I'm definitely going there.

awesome you got Hrafna to do this video.

😂😂😂 I am surprised she didn't carry him over her shoulder when crossing the rocky terrain as he was trailing behind too slowly for her.

i’ve always wanted to visit Iceland. such a lovely country 💜🇮🇸

That taking the last name was a thing in all of Scandinavia as well as the Netherlands. As far as the Netherlands goes, Napoleon came in, demanded last names for administrative purposes, and everyone laughed and many gave ridiculous names because they all were confident Napoleon would be kicked out, just like everyone else has been kicked out over the centuries. Poepjes (Farts), Piel (Penis), Maandag (Monday), Naaktgeboren (Born Naked), and those are just the decent ones. Napoleon gets the boot, and they figured last names would be gone. Except the new state thought of last names as rather handy dandy and decided to keep em. Everyone up in arms because they gave shit names and wanted to change it. Nope. So to this dayyou have people with last names that sometimes are literal profanity, most of these are luckily rather archaic now (Ploert for example, meaning whore or pimp). Now I know the first comment, and no, changing a name is not possible as a rule. You need exceptional cause for a judge to approve this. They are a lot more lenient with first names than last names, and "roepnaam" is changed really easily (I knew a girl first name Anna-Lidia, and her parents gave her a roepnaam at age 12 or so, and schools, airlines, subscriptions, all use Angelina and she registers anywhere as Angelina, her roepnaam, but her passport still says Anna-Lidia, it's a thing). Anyway, even when a namechange is approved, the change as a rule needs to be so minor that the old one is easily deduced, so across from us for years there lived a woman named Piël, and I had a clasmate named Poëpjes. Not even kidding, it made me curious and look up why this was the case because it was obviously Piel and Poepjes before. Many just registered as Janszoon (son of Jan, Jan being the most common first name) and Pieterszoon. But even with the refusal to change all the names and to this day being unwilling to change names, they did shorten all the -szoon and did not even do it consistently. So there is Janssen, Jansen, Pietersen, Pieterssen, Keessen, Kessen, Keesen. Interestingly, Kezen could be altered to Kesen, because Kezen is slang for fucking. Not sure how Sweden, Denmark and Norway lost their "your mum/dad gives you your last name" thing, but there you have it for NL.

From all the videos I've seen about Iceland and her culture, I sure would love an opportunity to live and work there for at least a year to experience life there. I think it'll be very enjoyable and mind-blowing, especially with all that beautiful-beyond-words landscape.

That was fun 😊

As you say.. normal. Love from your brothers and sisters in Norway ;-)

Honestly I have always dream of having a future with an Iceland woman, but watching this videos makes me want to be with them more honestly, Feeling Blessed ❤️

I love the language! I must visit Iceland such a beautiful country and such cool people...

Very good video! You highlighted the things that foreigners would find most odd about Iceland and demystified them. BTW, students in Australia also address their teachers and professors by their first name. I found that very odd but eventually got used to it.

Loved it! Iceland is beautiful.

The casual culture is so desirable, like please I want to live there

The more I see this lady, the more I like her. Hrafna, you’re a beautiful woman, fascinating and impressive. I will be continuing to check out your channel. I will be continuing to check you out.

Hey, its Hrafna! 😁 Just watched her "Icelandic pronounciation" video a minute ago...

Upgrade in production quality. Nice. 😊

That bar is just down the street from my favorite pylsur place! Is 0:17 by Reykjavik roasters?

Hey! That's Hrafna! Nice to see her here :)

loved the video ❤

I meet some Icelandic people and they were really nice to talk to :) They all speak English, even older people ;)

Yep moving to Iceland now

I knew it was sponsored when I saw the fancy scenic drone shots 😂

Icelandic culture is so fascinating!

omg the cousin app thing is hilarious😂

Quite amusing! Last year, my friend in Thailand had to go to Iceland for some friends wedding. Living in Thailand for ten years, he had no cold weather clothes. I lent him my arctic coat and some long jonhs and gloves and off he went. I live vicariously through my laundry!

That was great ! I’m so surprised - I had no idea and it’s quiet different then Canada!
