    Johan Glans is a genius. Mostly because he doesn't offend, but explains himself. Makes us recognize ourselves. He can, sublimely, make us embarrassed, yet not feel struck. He knows our sweat-spots and always not angry.

    I had to look it up: "grädde" - is cream in Swedish. And his joke is that you add the suffix -ur to Swedish words to make the Icelandic equivalent. But "gräddur" means greedy So he has done some research 🙂

    • @Palle_Plopp

      @@Palle_PloppI don't speak or even read Icelandic, but according to Google Translate, there seems to be three almost similar words meaning totally different things, but spelled slightly differently:
      grædur - makes money
      græddur - grafted
      gráður - degrees
      Also google translate:
      horny - horaður
      I'm sure Icelandic people are better at their own language than Google Translate, and I have seen some crazy translations to and from Swedish (my language) by Google Translate over the years, but now I'm confused. 🤔🤪

    What he says in Icelandic a few times that ends with "fyndur". He explains it in the beginning- that he read in an Icelandic newspaper that "Swedes are also funny". So when you asked what he said at one point, he had just made a joke that didn't land well and added "I am funny!" in Icelandic , referencing the newspaper.

    And then the next thought is how close we nordic countries really are.. He basically walks up and say "Hello Island... you talk wierd" and they are "Yes we know" and then he roasts Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden as well... it's just perfect.
    And yes... all islandic I know is just to add "gur" after anything. He hittgur the spotgur.

To be fair - I live pretty close to the Norwegian border and my dialect is closer to Norwegian than for example the made up gay TV-"dialect" "Stockholmish".

    There some similarities between Swedish and Icelandic. I think it'd be way easier to understand once you get used to the dialect.
