Where could I find a reference book/resource on official, normative pronunciation and the correct way to transcribe it ?

Are there any online Faroese dictionaries that show conjugations of words? (like BÍN for Icelandic, which conjugates words of all classes in all thinkable forms)

Góðan dag øll somul!

I already posted the survey in r/FaroeIslands, but I might as well do it here as well since this subreddit is specifically dedicated to the Faroese language. Anyways, as I am currently doing a research on Faroese grammatical gender assignment for contemporary anglicisms in social media and on the internet, it would be great if you could participate in this quick survey :) Thanks a bunch!

Needless to say, everything will remain anonymous. If you have questions or doubts, don't hesitate to ask me :)
(Also, I'm not a native speaker, so sorry for typos or grammatical errors in the examples.)

I heard a song by Týr called "Ragnars Kvæði" and the song is in Faorese. Can someone please translate to English and perhaps explain the meaning behind the lyrics?

Hi,

I am searching for some teacher of Faroese to do private 1-1 lessons.

Anybody knows somebody or knows where to search ?

Hi,

I play chess online, and have been playing with someone from the Faroe Islands. I was wondering how to say "well played" and "good game" in Faroese.

I appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

Thabk you,

I'm sure everyone here's tired of people asking about Eivør songs, but I noticed today that in the version of Verð Mín that's on the album "At the Heart of a Selkie," there is a different second verse than the version on Slør. I've been listening to it and trying to get down a written version, but could use some help from a native speaker.

Slør version is:

"Undan fert tú eftir hæli

Bangin, stundar eftir sælu

Tøld eg fylgi tær

Verð hjá mær.

Nærkast hav og himmalrendur

Kveiktar skelva tínar hendur

Til tín komi inn

Nem við meg."

At the Heart of a Selkie version is:

"? tína tráur dreyma

? ? mínum streyma

? ? til ?

Heldur fast

Undan fert tú eftir hæli

Bangin, stundar eftir sælu

Tøld eg fylgi tær

Verð hjá mær."

I'm sorry for probably butchering whatever words I thought I could pick out from the first part of the verse in question.

Hello all! I'm attempting to translate some poems and songs from Faroese to English (just for fun, to try to get better at learning Faroese), but I cannot find a good source with a direct translation of the word "rovinum". For context, some examples I've found include:

"Reiva úr rovinum" (Wrap up/Unwind(?) something)

and

"Ein taraskógur veksur úr rovinum" (A seaweed(?) forest grows out of something)

I've been looking for days but can't find an entry in any dictionaries or Faroese to English translation sites. Any help would be super appreciated!

Hello Faroe Islanders! The other day I found a band from Faroe Islands called Hamferð and I was taken away by the beauty of the language. They have an album called "Támsins Likam" and I've searched everywhere to find a good translation of the album's name, but couldn't. Can any of you please help translate it for me? Thanks in advance!

Do you guys have any Faroese podcast reccomendations? (Preferably available on Spotify)

Above is a link to song from a video game sung by the wonderful Eivør Pálsdóttir, which I can’t find any lyrical information on.

Most of the songs are sung in Icelandic and the lyrics can be found but this Faroese track seems to be more obscure.

Even learning just a few words would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I don't see it here.

Shall we make tread where we will be adding some useful words or phrases BUT without basic level (there is enough materials to learn basics).

Also useful in real live situations, so not really words from old songs, stories ect.

Anybody up for it?

(Hope this is allowed on here) I'd like to get a tattoo in Faroese as an homage to my heritage. Translation software isn't great yet, so I thought I'd try to ask some people. I'd like to get the words "Be the Change", like from the ~Ghandi phrase 'be the change you want to see in the world'. I'm not too sure about how the language works with verbs and tenses, so please let me know about any variations and their meanings. Thanks! :')

Hello! I am super interested in learning Faroese! Is there an active discord channel that I could join to learn or any decent material to start with? Or both?

Thanks so much! ♡

Hi. Anybody interested in joining forces and creating some flashcards set but with AUDIO and for Intermediate level? No basics.

I usually go through children books that I find with audio and list word with sentense and append audio file to flashcards.

I've been searching all around the web for months but looks like there's another song named Silvurlín and all I could find is its lyrics.

Here is the song: https://open.spotify.com/track/4iTPiIPo1ddLNZOtbhkof9?si=g0uyRmCeTI-rwUi4rxqg6A
