Quick! How do you say "Shut it!" in Icelandic!?

eek

"Haltu kjafti!" ... The main line in the chorus of this song here (sample) is "Haltu kjafti!" biggrin

Oh, and the song is called "Haltu kjafti" and is performed by Á móti sól, Magni's old band in Iceland, except this is recorded a few months before he joined the band geek

It may come as a surprise to some of you, but actually Icelandic is very related to the English language, although it's far more similar to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish..... About 7-800 years ago the language spoken by people in England was quite similar to Icelandic.... Here's a news report about K-Fed in Icelandic: http://www.mbl.is/mm/folk...id=1219913 ... see if you can spot any familiar words....

hey I could nearly decipher some of that! eek
