Μετάφραση - Ισλανδικά-Αγγλικά - Ég vil bæði lif'og vona, ég vil brenna upp af...

Hi Pia,

just ONE correction

move on ---> moves on

Wow, I feel proud!

You must!

I don't know what "lif'og" is. I believe should be "Ég vil bæði lifa og vona". Then it means "to live" and "to hope".

"Slowly" isn't in the Icelandic text.

Pia, have you been to any Icelandic course lately? Because you have translated it very well.

Thanks for the kind compliment Ernst, but I have not read Icelandic lately.

Lilian,
shall I edit to:
"I want to live and hope,"
"while life moves on"

Bamsa, I did a new search and found "lif og" here, may it be that the "lif'" in this source is wrong and shall be just "lif" (life).

?

It can't be the word "lif" or more correct "líf". It is not correct to say "Ég vil bæði líf og vona". Then we have to change the Icelandic text e.g. "vona" have to be "von" -> "líf og von" and the word "hafa" have to be before "líf og von". Then it would be a big change of the text, instead of only an "a" in "lifa"

Ok, I trust you Bamsa, thanks!

Lilian,
may I edit the text:
"I want to live and hope,"
"while life moves on"

OK.

The meaning will do if you're only searching for ~meaning. But it's not exact.

Lilian,
according to Lena and also Bamsa "ég vil gleðjast eða þjást." should be "I want to be happy or be plagued".

May I edit again? (sorry for that)

Go ahead!

I hope that's the last one. I'll set a new poll.

Thanks, no more edits I hope.
