Zero thumbs down. He knows his audience and we’re still into grammar
So Miklagarðr was the old Norse name for Byzans: "The big city"
yeah, though in modern Icelandic it almost directly translates to big garden

"-sen" can be still found in English: It is a dialect alternative the reflexive "-self" in East Midlands and Yorkshire, so a clear Viking influence there. For instance: "She can't look at hersen in the mirror" or "I hurt mysen with all that running."
@@holdyourbeak8644 I agree with your latter point, and I wouldn't attribute every little difference from 'standard English' to Viking influence. Indeed there are parts of the north and central England where the Vikings hardly settled, if at all.
The dialect books I have regarding East Midlands and Yorkshire dialect, claim that "-sen" is from Old Norse. It's plausible since Danish Vikings' settlement was concentrated mostly in those two regions, and Middle English is a meld of OE and ON. Whether "sen" be from the Old Norse or Old English variants, they ultimate derive from the same proto-Germanic root "selbaz" anyway.
Are you going to do a video about Old Norse idioms and phrases like "á hendr" from the readings at the end of this lesson?
If not, is that the sort of thing I could request as a patron?
"Lítill" is clearly a cognate to English "little". But is there an English cognate for "mikill"?
The English cognate would actually be “much”. Modern English “much” is taken from West Saxon Old English “myćel”. The native Mercian version of this word is “mićel/micel” and if we still used the Mercian version, would be saying “mich” or “mic”.
What? Sinn doesn't have nominative, just like sik, right??
It's reflexive so it can only be used after a subject has been specified. Which itself could be a pronoun, but it would be Ek, hann, etc. Not some hypothetical nominative reflexive pronoun.
I'm not sure, I'm following you.
Do you think it is correct that there is a nominative of sinn? If so, can you provide an example, either from text or made up?
Because I think there's no nominative of sinn. In other words, the Doctor was wrong to list the nominative of sinn in his table.
To give an example, I believe this sentence to be wrong: "Hann sagði, at her váru sínir hanar."
This, however, would be possible: "Hann talaði um sína hana."
How do you say 'Heckler und Koch' in old Norse?
Heklari ok Kokkr? I'm not actually sure, but based on cognates in related languages these might be actual words in Old Norse.
