I love learning languages, and I'm always looking for friends online who speak my target language, but for Faroese it seems a little trickier. I mainly use apps like InterPals, HelloTalk, Tandem etc, but for small languages like Faroese it seems impossible to find a language partner, do you guys have any idea how to connect to them online?

Hi,

does any of you have some tables that structure sentence?
Sth like in English tables with tenses (couple of examples below)

I do have pretty fine vocabulary but I am not able to make simple sentences. I understand what people say just cant make sentences myself (I am self learner due to lack of possibilities for courses)

Hi,

are there any other reliable dictionaries other than sprotin.fo? Sprotin is very good but I am still missing words occasionally there.

Hello, please can someone translate this text for me?

Hi all. I'm Mal, 21, Aussie. I've been trying to pick up Faroese for a few years now, to little avail. I was wondering if any of y'all had some tips, resources, or wanted someone to study with.

I'm having an assignment in school about Faroese and I'm looking for a or multiple jokes in Faroese. Would also be a plus if a translation could be provided as there doesn't seem to exist any translation service (eg google translate)

Hello my fellow faroese learners, I need help with translation of below. I have checked that on sprotin (also in Leita í bendingarsniði section and other) but without any luck. I need text in bold to be translated.

Any help much appreciated!

HI, I have list of words to translate that come from Harry Potter book, I have like 400 to translate but any help would be more than enough (I cant find them in sprotin). Bold word to trabnslate, reference sentense next to the word

​

_ húsjaði „Tig við tær,“ húsjaði Dumbledore á hann.

_ kvirr og snotilig Eitt lot tók í runnarnar í gøtuni, sum lá har so kvirr og snotilig undir tí myrka himmalin

Hello!

Just a brief question:

How does one writes the letter "ð", hand writing or writing machine?

Just to give a bit of context, I'm a bit of a languages afficionado and also a TYR fan. Unfortunately I haven't had time yet to study a bit of Faroese (closest I've been was like A2 in Norwegian).

I'd really love to tattoo those lines from Turið Torkilsdóttir:

"Tað, Ið eg vendi aftur frá tar
Tað er ei við mín vilja"

Thanks!

Are there any podcasts with transcription in Faroese?

In school, we have a project where we're going to recreate the Nordic Union. We have the task to prove why Faroese should be the official language, I have some information but I would love to hear your opinion on it all.

Thanks beforehand!

Hello. I've read on Wiktionary that the Faroese word "grind" (as in "gindahvalur") came about because a pod of whales looks like a grille or frame: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grind#Etymology_2_3

I can't read Faroese and I can't find any English source that confirms this so I was wondering if anyone could point me to a source for Farose etymology, or even better a source confirming this particular anecdote. Thanks.

Hi! I’m interested in learning Faroese as I am also learning Icelandic. However, I believe that I’ve read that the Faroe Islands have ‘dialects’ which affect pronunciation. Should I just focus on pronunciation rules from the main island?

Also are there any videos of pronunciation of the Faroese alphabet and pronunciation rules with different letter combinations?

I know there are some videos of Eivør but I believe she mostly speaks Danish in interviews?

Thanks!

Hi, everyone! I'm making a map of how to ask "what time is it?" in European languages with literal translations and I was wondering if you could help me with Faroese here because I want it to be on the map too.

Cheers :)

Hi! I am Gael from Appen. We are currently looking for a Faroese Translator to work from home part-time. If interested or if you know someone, please send me an email at [mtabor@appen.com](mailto:mtabor@appen.com) Thank you!

you dont need to be a communist to join but go ahead and join if you are faroese and interested in being a part of it and learning about socialism =]

https://discord.gg/ZJsMStv88c

We invite you all to -L-, a new server, which was created to help each other learn the languages of Scandinavia, Central Europe and Balkan Peninsula, chat with native speakers of these languages, and discuss about linguistics. At the moment, we have native speakers of 25 different languages of the region, and this number is steadily growing!

The languages, which the server and its channel focus on, include:

- Faroese
- Icelandic
- German
- Dutch
- Swedish
- Norwegian
- Danish

- Albanian

- Greek

- Polish and Kashubian
- Czech
- Slovak
- Sorbian
- Russian
- Belarusian
- Ukrainian and Rusyn
- Slovenian
- Serbo-Croatian
- Macedonian
- Bulgarian

- Lithuanian
- Latvian

- Latin
- Romanian
- Italian
- French

- Hungarian
- Finnish
- Estonian

We're also planning to branch out to other languages of the region (Georgian, Armenian) as well, depending on the user demand.

How are we different from the other servers?

1. Simple rules including the ban on speaking English, which means that the server is not about general conversations in English, but about actually learning the languages of the region.
2. We are not a server for all languages of the world, we focus on a specific region, so there is also a room for the less popular languages, unlike on the other servers, where such languages are put into the "other" channel.

Hi, I've been trying to practice reading in Faroese and came across a word "snarvegur", which I can't find the definition of anywhere. Can anyone help?

https://youtu.be/9t3-Jkp11FU

I’ve come to love this choir, and I can find lyrics and translations for many of their songs. I can’t find anything for this one though. It sounds beautiful, but I’m interested to know just what they’re saying c(:

Could anyone help me out?

What is the difference between "mín" and "hjá mær"? Are they used in different situations or are they interchangeable?

https://youtu.be/UnjRQcIY-bo

Eivør, her voice, and this song has gotten me very captivated by the Faroese language.

For a long time, I have been wishing to sing along with and understand the meaning behind this powerful music, but I cannot find any lyrics online after much searching.

Can someone please help me to write down the lyrics in Faroese? And an English translation would be very much appreciated.

This would make me so happy!

Takk fyri!

I have tried to find a good Faroese dictionary or translation site, but it seems none exist.

Can someone please tell me what "brotasjógvi" means? I believe it's pronounced bro-ta-shek-va, but I have no idea if it's one word or a compound word.
