Ef einhver sér mann milli þrítugs og fertugs á reiðhjóli, með derhúfu og í bláum og rauðum jakka, þá vill lögreglan gjarnan hafa tal af honum. If somebody sees a man between thirty and forty years old on a bicycle, with a baseball cap and in a blue and red jacket, the police will gladly want to have a conversation with him.

Ekki síst ef hann er að fróa sér á hjólinu. Especially (not least) if he is masturbating on the bicycle.

Þar er líklega kominn sá sem þrjár ungar stúlkur gengu framá á Sólvallagötu um klukkan hálf sjö í morgun. Since/there is probably (kominn sá sem) three young girls advancing(?) on Sólvallagata around half past six this morning.

Þeim brá nokkuð í brún við að sjá þennan másandi mann. Svona lagað er náttúrlega bannað á almannafæri. They were quite shocked in amazement to see this panting man. This is naturally banned in public.

I've been focusing on learning from the vocabulary and grammar of Icelandic Online because Uni starts soon and I need to know all of that in order to study at the University. For this reason I haven't been translating other things or looking for vocabulary to put on the blog.

Magazine Issue Two

Includes beginning grammar ("Where are you from", answering and forming questions, gerunds), cultural facts, historical facts, and useful information for tourists, along with vocabulary on each of these subjects.

The first two magazines are free, but I was wondering what people think about charging for the next issues. If that's acceptable, how much is okay? I was thinking of charging $2.50 USD. Is that too much?
