An Icelander takes a trip to Norway but is worried because he doesn’t speak the language. His friend assures him that this shouldn’t be a problem: just speak very slowly and the Norwegians will understand you perfectly fine. Once in Oslo the Icelander goes to a bar and tries to order a beer in very slow Icelandic:
“I… want… a… beer.”
The bartender gives him a beer. It worked! After he finishes it, he tries to order another one. Again, very slowly:
“I… want… another… beer.”
The bartender gives him another beer. Amazing! After a couple more beers, the Icelander decides to try a conversation:
“I… am… from… Iceland.”
The bartender replies:
“Me…… too.”
Vinur hans fullvissar hann um að þetta ætti ekki að vera vandamál: Talaðu bara mjög hægt og Norðmenn skilja þig fullkomlega vel. Einu sinni í Osló fer Íslendingurinn á bar og reynir að panta sér bjór á mjög hægfara íslensku:
“Mig… langar í… bjór.
“Barþjónninn gefur honum bjór.
Það virkaði! Eftir að hann klárar það reynir hann að panta annan.
Aftur, mjög hægt.
