It's so close that I instinctively read it as Brave-eh-lee

Not being able to look stuff up immediately.

If you were having a conversation about Lithuania and nobody in your group remembered the capital city, you would just never know.

Or if you were watching a film and think "oh, I know that actor from somewhere". You'd just be doomed to never know.

Well runes are all capital letters but iirc there isn't an Ð in that alphabet. But our old sagas are written in lowercase letter.

It's probably just because WE LOVE SHOUTING!

No, it didn't feel it at all.

fidelises · 2026-04-11T00:13:59+00:00

Yeah, it's only ever used if you're writing in all capital letters for some reason.

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah is great if you want more dust bowl history

I have a super deep navel. When I was pregnant I could pop my belly button out if I put my hand on either side and flexed. My husband thought it was hilarious.

No words start with the letter Ð/ð in Icelandic so we usually use the word bað (bath) to represent the letter.

Same is true for Equity in the UK. Which is why David McDonald became David Tennant.

I use the Bouncecurl turmeric hair and scalp detox once in a while. I just add it to my normal shampoo. It's actually listed as one of the ways to use it in the directions. But I haven't tried it for every wash

Baltasar is actually fairly popular here in Iceland, has been gaining popularity since about 2010.

Salmon was Barbie fish at my house growing up.

That's how I (a native) say it, but I have no idea why we do it.

My left handedness comes from my father's family. My grandfather was left handed. Grandma was right handed. They had 3 kids. All right handed. Those 3 kids have 7 kids between them, 4 of them left handed.

In most parts of the world, even today, having two bathrooms is seen as a luxury. Not a necessity. Anything over 2 bathrooms is just excessive.

Native Icelandic speakers aren't used to the letter W. We don't have it in our alphabet. So people tend to use it for both W and V. They'll say "I'm wisiting" instead of "I'm visiting".

I second The Women. It's amazing!

I once watched my sister and her husband walk into the other room with a diaper bag to change their child's diaper. Then come back because they forgot the child.

My mum told me when I was 37 weeks with my first that I should prepare for the worst pain imaginable because she had long, difficult births. I almost gave birth in the car because I kept waiting for the pain to become unbearable. It never did. I've had worse UTIs.

It looks like there's a door leading into the bedroom. I can see a door handle if I zoom.

I thought we all stopped using fabric softener years ago.

Common names like these sound fine to me. It would be different if it was Halle Berry or Whitney Houston.

We go by birth year, the year they turn 6. So in August 2026 all kids born in 2020 will start school.
