The word bairn (child), which is used in Scots, Northern and Scottish English, is closely related to born and to the verb to bear. These words all come from a root meaning 'to carry'. When a baby is born it's been carried to term. The infant is then carried around. Click the infographic for more.

My French teacher found out I was Icelandic and made our classroom into ice and made me eat it. I don’t take French classes. The dream was in Indonesian.

The Loneliest House in the World Location: Elliðaey, Iceland

Originally built in the 1950s as a lodge for puffin hunters, this house is often referred to as the most secluded home in the world. There is a widespread misconception among foreign fans that the Icelandic singer, Björk, has lived on/owned the island. The artist, however, never purchased the island or a house there. Today, the island is deserted with no residents since the 1930s

Hello, uh, 'Auntie grey' as your adoring fans call you, have you ever made an animation? Or tried to?

Hello, yes Auntie Grey that’s me!😜

I Have done animations yes! Mostly animatics too.

I never in my life want to be an animator, but I like having that skill just to entertain myself.

Here’s a little Icelandic horror animation I did once! I’m very proud of it but don’t get a lot of opportunity’s to show it off.😜

An Icelandic horse tölting

This is only my second attempt with animation and first attempt using a video as reference so that's why it looks pretty rough. It's also tricky to get looking right because tölt is a fast four-beat lateral gait.

Dear means 'valued; precious; beloved'. However, in certain expressions it also means 'expensive', such as in to cost dear. This meaning, inherited from Proto-Germanic, became dominant in cognates of dear, such as Dutch duur, German teuer, and Swedish dyr. The infographic tells you the whole story.
