Oy! I finally cottoned onto strong:weak verbs by the English examples.
Weak:
I walk/I walked
I conquer/I conquered
I love/I loved
I live/I lived
Strong:
I fight/I fought
I win/I won
I drink/I drunk
I eat/I ate
Grammarians: am I correct, or did this concept just blow right past me again?
Another enjoyable grammar lesson.

That’s exactly it.

Thank you for these!

Unrelated to this video, I must ask Ol' Doc Norse©®, please create a video about Gripispa. Even Google is limited of information about Gripir, the griping one, the griping beast. It has been on my mind lately. And as always I can not thank you enough for sharing your wisdom and opinion. I did purchase your Poetic Edda and Wanderer's Hàvamàl from your sponsor Grimfrost( for an unreasonably LOW price).

I just recently discovered your channel and i am just loving it! Thank you for the work!
A quick question, does it make a difference to you where I buy your translations from?

[@twistysunshine]

I really appreciate all this work!

Just a question:
How do we know that /v/ was already labiodental in the 1200’s? Are there any borrowings where a foreign /w/ was transcribed as something else? Or comments by the First Grammarian that initial /v/ sounds the same as medial /f/?

[@getrealroleplaying7427]

The prof. has mentioned in another video that skaldic rhymes prove a merger of medial and , but regarding initial I have the same question you have. Certainly it's plausible that it could be pronounced as a voiced labiodental since initial was voiceless so it would have caused no merger, but I don't know if there's any proof of an initial voiced labiodental pronunciation of .

I hope you will make a video on the mediopassive voice too!

11:14 The past participle agrees with the object: does this agreement depend on the position of the object? Must the object go BEFORE the past participle or not?

[@rufeilrahtieh7885]

The past of þegja is not " ek þagði " ?

[@faramund9865]

If indeed the g here is pronounce like in Dutch, some past tenses sound very similar.
Ek sagða, ik zag.
