Re: Translation in Icelandic or Old Norse
Hi Freyja,
regarding the sentence “You are our family”, does “you” refer to one person, two persons, or more than two persons? (The number of people being addressed will determine how to translate the pronoun into Old Norse and Icelandic.) Given the content of the sentence, I presume that when there is a choice, you would prefer an informal pronoun to a formal pronoun?
The word “family” has more than one meaning. If “you” refers to one person, then would you say that “family” means “relative”? If “you” refers to more than one person, then “family” could mean “immediate family” (e.g. “nuclear family”), or “extended family” (like “kin”), or “close-knit group of people” (e.g. “corporate family”). Which sense of “family” do you mean?

Icelandic phrase help
Hi :)
I have a phrase in English, and am hoping someone could translate it into Icelandic for me. It is "grow till tall", which is the same as "grow until tall".
Thank you so much, and please let me know if I can return the favour!

Please, help me translate this beautiful Icelandic song into Swedish or English
Ó hve létt er þitt skóhljóð
ó hve leingi ég beið þín,
það er vorhret á glugga,
napur vindur sem hvín,
en ég veit eina stjörnu,
eina stjörnu sem skín,
og nú loks ertu komin,
þú ert komin til mín.
Það eru erfiðir tímar,
það er atvinnuþref,
ég hef ekkert að bjóða,
ekki ögn sem ég gef,
nema von mína og líf mitt
hvort ég vaki eða sef,
þetta eitt sem þú gafst mér
það er alt sem ég hef.
En í kvöld lýkur vetri
sérhvers vinnandi manns,
og á morgun skín maísól,
það er maísólin hans,
það er maísólin okkar,
okkar einíngarbands,
fyrir þér ber ég fána
þessa framtíðarlands.

Åh hur lätt är dina fotspår
åh vad jag leingi din begäran,
Det vorhret fönstret,
bitande vinden som gnäller,
men jag vet en stjärna,
en stjärna som lyser,
och nu äntligen är du här,
du har kommit till mig.
Det finns tuffa tider,
Det är en professionell veck
Jag har inget att erbjuda,
inte att jag ger lite,
men min förhoppning och mitt liv
om jag vaknar eller sover,
detta som du gav mig
Det är allt jag har.
Men ikväll slutar vintern
varje arbetsdag människa,
och imorgon skiner Maison,
Det maísólin hans
Det är vår maísólin
Våra einíngarbands,
för dig Jag bär flaggan
framtid i detta land.
