Islanda frazlibro

Islanda frazlibro

La islanda estas parolata en la insulo Islando. Ĝi estas nordĝermana lingvo, rilatita al la dana, sveda, kaj norvega, sed malsame al ili, ĝi konservas la tutan aron de konjugacioj kaj deklinacioj el la malnovnordlanda lingvo. Tio, kaj la manko de latindevenaj vortoj igas ĝin malfacila por kelkaj Esperanto-parolantoj. Tamen, germanaj parolantoj juĝos multajn erojn de la islanda gramatiko facila, ĉar ambaŭ lingvoj konservas ecojn el la Pra-Ĝermana, kiuj estis perditaj en aliaj ĝermanaj lingvoj.

Islandaj substantivoj estas deklinitaj en kvar kazoj, du numeroj, kaj la estanteco de la difinita artikolo. Verboj havas personon kaj nombron, kiuj estas uzataj kun pronomoj.

La plejparto de la islandanoj scipovas la anglan kaj la danan, do se vi parolas unu el tiuj lingvoj, ne nepros lerni la islandan por baze komuniki. Tamen, parolklopodoj estas tre bone rigardataj de islandanoj.

Pronuncado[redakti]

Kvankam la islanda eble ŝajnas stranga pro siaj signoj "þ" kaj "ð" kaj vokaloj kun akcentoj, la prononcado ne tre malfacilas post oni lernas la bazan regularon. Rimarku, ke la plej forta silabo ĉiam estas la unua.

Vokaloj[redakti]

Kelkaj vokaloj en la islanda havas akcentojn, kiuj ŝanĝas la sonon de ĉiu vokalo. La vokaloj povas aperi en mallonga aŭ longa formo, kaj ĉiaj vokaloj povas esti mallongaj aŭ longaj. La vokaloj estas longaj kiam ili estas en vortoj de nur unu silabo, aŭ kiam ili estas la antaŭlasta silabo en dusilabaj vortoj.

Listo de frazoj[redakti]

Note: you should take time to learn the alphabet rather than rely on the pronunciation guides within the brackets. Also note, the hyphens (-) serve only as a means to help you break down pronunciations, they do not represent where a pause should be, and the pronunciation should be read without pausing on the hyphens.

Skribi tempon kaj daton[redakti]

DATE: The date in Iceland is written in the dd/mm/yyyy format, as in Europe. The days and months are normally only capitalised at the start of a sentence, otherwise they are entirely in lower case. A fullstop ,or period, (.) is placed after the date in Icelandic.

Example:

miðvikudagur 14. apríl 2007
Wednesday 14th April 2007

TIME: The time in Iceland is written in the 24 hour format, as in most of Europe (not including UK or Ireland), with 00.00 being midnight and 12.00 being midday. The colon (:) is not used as the digit seperater, but rather the fullstop, or period, (.) is used. Note: the term "half-past the hour" in Icelandic is more like "half to the [next] hour" (see examples below).

Examples of time:

Written: klukkan 07.05
Spoken: "klukkan er fimm mínútur yfir sjö" (kluch-kan er fim meen-oot-ur i-ir syur)
Written: klukkan 13.30
Spoken: "klukkan er hálftvö" (kluch-kan er hawlv-tvur)

Sometimes "klukkan" can be shortened to "kl.":

Written: kl. 20:45
Spoken: "klukkan er korter í níu" (kluch-kan er kor-ter ee neehu)

NOTE: the words that describe the later pm hours of the time are rarely ever used, when speaking of them it is common just to say, example: "átta" (eight)instead of "tuttugu" (twenty)
