Hvaðan ertu?
Hello to my readers in Iceland, which shot up to fifth place of countries that visited this blog in December. I don’t even know you, but thank you for stopping by. The top ten visting “nations” this month are: USA, Canada, EU, Iceland, Netherlands, Australia, Spain, China, Switzerland, and Singapore. Shame on me for not having picked up around the house before the world came by.
Since I’ve moved this blog to a Wordpress platform, I’ve had to learn how to manage a web server. Every webserver logs very non-specific data about their visitors, like which countries they live in. It’s fascinating to see where you all come from, and reminds me to write with a more global audience in mind.
For those of you who have a food blog in other countries, please leave me a comment with a link to your blog. Show me what’s good to eat where you live.
I’m told the title of this post means “where are you from?” in Icelandic. Some other useful Icelandic phrases include:
| You are very beatiful: | Þú ert mjög falleg |
| You are an angel fallen to earth: | Þú ert engill af himni ofan |
| I have never seen a woman more lovely: | Ég hef aldrei seð yndislegri konu |
All of which might lead to these other useful sayings:
| Where is the hospital? | Hvar er sjúkrahús? |
| Get an ambulance: | Náðu í sjúkrabíl |
| Heredity is one of many causes of dandruff: | Erfðir eru ein af mörgum ólíkum ástæðum flösu |
Happy holidays, everyone, wherever your are. Eat well and be good to each other.
