There are some people here in the Faroe Islands who do not respect democracy. | BLARK_translated | Tað eru nøkur fólk her í Føroyum, sum ikki virða fólkaræðið. |
The government coalition is made up of three parties with different political views. There is one thing they do agree on: | BLARK_translated | Stjórnarsamgongan er sett saman av trimum flokkum við ymsum politiskum sjónarmiðum. Eitt eru teir tó samdir um: |
That the Faroese shall have supreme authority in the Faroe Islands — full sovereignty. The Centre Party supports the approach to full sovereignty together with the coalition government. | BLARK_translated | At føroyingar skulu hava evsta vald í Føroyum - fullveldið. Miðflokkurin stuðlar fullveldistilgongdini saman við samgonguni. |
That is to say, that about 60% of the parliament stands behind full sovereignty. | BLARK_translated | T.v.s., at umleið 60% av løgtinginum stendur aftanfyri fullveldið. |
In my opinion she gives a clear indication that the majority supports the coalition's policy: 49.7% agree and 39.7% are against. | BLARK_translated | Eftir mínum tykki gevur hon greiða ábending um, at meirlutin tekur undir við politikki samgongunar: 49,7% taka undir og 39,7% eru ímóti. |
But of course it cannot be investigations that will decide the fate of the nation. As everyone knows, there will be a referendum this autumn in which Faroese people can vote either YES or NO. | BLARK_translated | Men sjálvandi vera tað ikki kanningar, sum koma at gera av a lagnu tjóðarinnar. Øllum kunnugt verður ein fólkaatkvøða í heyst, har føroyingar annaðhvørt kunnu atkvøða JA ella NEI. |
The only thing we can say for certain today is that the majority in the parliament - which, after all, represents the majority of the Faroese people - wants full independence. | BLARK_translated | Einasta vit við vissu kunnu siga í dag er, at meirlutin í løgtinginum - sum jú umboðar meirlutan av Føroya fólki - vil fullveldi. |
If only all parties had put it away, the price would have increased. | BLARK_translated | Bara allir partar løgdu sær tað í geyma, so hevði støði hækka. |
Hello and bless you, my Hallur. Nice to hear from Icelanders. | BLARK_translated | Komdu sæl og blessaður, Hallur mín. Gaman að heyra í íslendingum. |
Half of Faroese people do not agree with the government’s policies, but we do not want to pursue full independence on that basis. We need more than beautiful words! | BLARK_translated | Helmingur færeyinga finnst ekki méð stjórnarmál Landsstýrisins én viljum ekki stefna að fullu sjálfstæði á þessu grundvelli. Okkur þarf meira enn falleg orð! |
If people agree on the principle “in the Faroe Islands the Faroese should be in charge,” then let us for heaven’s sake work together toward that, and not just try to oppose and pull down and sow distrust among people. That never leads to anything good! | BLARK_translated | Um fólk eru einig í "í Føroyum skulu føroyingar ráða" princippinum. So lat okkum for hundanar arbeiða í felag fram ímóti tí, og ikki royna bert at mótarbeiða og hála niður og sáa mistreysti millum fólk. Tað førir ongantíð nakað gott við sær! |
People with great minds discuss/debate ideas/concepts. | BLARK_translated | Fólk við stórum anda/huga (great minds)práta/kjakast um hugtøk/hugskot. |
Let's not discuss the Icelanders unless it's relevant to the debate about Faroese sovereignty. And leave people in the Faroe Islands and elsewhere in peace. | BLARK_translated | Lat okkum ikki diskutera íslendararnar uttan tá tað er relevant fyri kjakið um føroyskt fullveldi. Og lat persónar í føroyum og aðrastaðni fáa frið. |
I just want to point out one fact, now that this matter is being raised so much. | BLARK_translated | Eg vil bara gera vart við eitt faktum, nú hetta orðið verður havt so nógv á lofti. |
Besides that we began as a free nation among others. | BLARK_translated | Umframt at vit byrjaðu sum ein fræls tjóð millum aðrar. |
This tells me as much as that the natural condition of the Faroe Islands is OUTSIDE the realm/state union. So I actually think that it is we, the self-reliant-minded, who should be the ones to ask the questions. | BLARK_translated | Hetta sigur mær so mikið sum, at nátúrligi tilstandurin hjá Føroyum er UTTANFYRI ríkisfelagskapin (eindarstatin). Tí haldi faktiskt at tað eru vit sjálvbjargnishugaðu sum skulu seta spurningarnar. |
We are many, 75% of the people, who want to preserve and expand the union of states. | BLARK_translated | Vit eru mong, 75% av fólkinum, sum vilja varðveita og útbyggja ríkisfelagsskapin. |
It means that it will not be reversed. Ownership conditions in Iceland cannot be changed by the Althingi (Icelandic parliament). | BLARK_translated | Tað merkir, at tað vendist ikki aftur. Ognarviðurskiftini í `islandi kunnu ikki broytast av `Islendska altinginum. |
75% of the people want to create a foundation in society so that Faroese tax crowns can pay, for example, your teacher’s salary. | BLARK_translated | 75% av fólkinum vil skapa eitt grundarlag i'samfelagnum, so føroysku skattakrónurnar kunnu rinda td tína læraraløn. |
You do not want to take financial responsibility for your own workplace/area at first. | BLARK_translated | Tú vilt ikki taka fíggjarligu ábyrgdina av tínum egna arbeiðsøki fyrst. |
My questions still remain unanswered. Show me where you got these facts from. | BLARK_translated | Spurningar mínir standa enn ósvaraðir. Vís mær hvar tú hevur hesi fakta frá. |
We republicans know what we believe; you don't need to think about it. | BLARK_translated | Vit tjóðveldisfólk vita hvat vit halda, tað nýtist tær ikki at hugsa um. |
First of all, I want to thank Stephen E. Jensen for his excellent positive post here on the page. | BLARK_translated | Eg fari at fyrst at takka Stephen E. Jensen fyri sítt frálíka jaliga inlegg her á síðuni. |
Don't think that any Faroese person actually wants the negotiations to go badly. | BLARK_translated | Hugsið ikki, at nakrar føroyingur í veruleikanum vil, at samráðingarnar skulu ganga illa. |
What else besides one's own "subjective opinions" can what one writes be? | BLARK_translated | Hvat annað enn eins egnu "subjektivu meiningar" kann tað, ein sjálvur skrivar verða? |
Not because; I rather believe that you republicans have some sort of objective opinion about sovereignty. Hoydal's demagogic speeches have influenced you so much over the past two years that there is only one opinion among you. But now almost two years have passed since the parliamentary election and nothing has been a... | BLARK_translated | Ikki tí, eg trúgvi gjarna at tit tjóðveldisfólk hava eitt slag av einari objektivari meining um fullveldi. Demagogisku talurnar hjá Hoydal hava ávirkað tykkum so mikið tey síðstu tvey árini, at tað bara eksisterar ein meining millum tykkum. Men nú eru skjótt tvey ár runnin síðani løgtingsvalið og einki er yvirtikið enn... |
And as long as you delay in self-determination, nothing will come of any negotiations about sovereignty. The only solution is that a broad majority including at least the Social Democratic Party participates, so an agreement on a new Home Rule Act with expanded self-government can be processed. | BLARK_translated | Og so leingi tit draga í sjálvdrátti spyrst einki burturúr nøkrum samráðingum um fullveldi. Einasta loysnin er, at ein breiður meiriluti við í minsta lagi javnaðarflokkinum verður við, so ein avtala um eina nýggja sjálvsstýrislóg við víðkaðum sjálsstýri verður viðgjørd. |
That took a long time, but they are only your subjective assessments. | BLARK_translated | Hatta tók langa tíð, men eru bert tínar subjektivu metingar. |
Yes, Icelanders live a much harder life than the Faroese, with less welfare. No doubt about that. | BLARK_translated | Jú, `Islendingar liva eitt nógv strævnari lív enn føringar, við eini minni vælferð. Ongin ivi um tað. |
Result: More than 80 percent of the Icelandic population lives along the Reykjavík route, and the rural communities have died out. | BLARK_translated | Úrslit: Meira enn 80 av íslendska fólkinum býr um reykjavíkarleiðina, og bygdasamfeløgini eru útdeyð. |
Most of all grocery stores in Iceland have ended up in a conglomerate. | BLARK_translated | Meginparturin av øllum dagligvøruhandli í `islandi, er endaður í einum stórfelag. |
If an Icelandic worker has been put on the blacklist, he will be shut out of the labor market for good, because of the sweeping breadth of the property relations. | BLARK_translated | Er ein íslendskur arbeiðari komin á svartalista, so verður hann skumapaður út av arbeiðsmarknaðinum fyri vell, orsaka av tvørrandi breiddini í ognarviðurskiftunum. |
No Icelander can afford to be unemployed. They must leave the country. | BLARK_translated | Ongin íslendingur hevur ráð at ganga arbeiðsleysur. Teir mugu flyta av landinum. |
Is it such a society, perhaps in an even worse state, that the republican party longs for? | BLARK_translated | Er tað eitt slíkt samfelag, kanska verri statt, sum tjóðveldisflokkurin hungrar eftir? |
It worked pretty badly with Icelandic negarbørn. Couldn't really come to terms with ice and the black death. | BLARK_translated | Tað riggaði líkasum so illa við `Islendskum nekarbørnum. Kundi ikki rættiliga sameinast við ís og svartadeyða. |
Even egalitarians who as a principle could agree that the desire for freedom is not conditioned by skin color or ethnic origin. But egalitarians have clearly moved very much in the wrong direction lately. And various egalitarian commentators here on the site could have pointed out that the Danish People’s Party has not... | BLARK_translated | Helt at javnaðarmenn soleiðsnar sum prinsipp kundu taka undir við, at ynskið um frælsið er ikki treytað av húðaliti ella etniskum uppruna. Men javnaðarfólk hava eyðsýniliga flutt seg nógv skeiva vegin seinastu tíðina. Og ymisk javnaðarsjómarmið her á síðuni kundu bent á, at Dansk Folkeparti ikki hevur ávirka heilt eink... |
Thanks for your wonderful post Stephen; everything you say is as if taken from my own heart. | BLARK_translated | Takk fyri títt herliga innlegg Stephen; alt tú sigur er sum tikid úr mínum egna hjarta. |
That is the spirit I miss in so many Faroese people. | BLARK_translated | Tad er hesin andin eg sakni hjá so nógvum föroyingum. |
Maybe Ella prefers another word. "Föding" is the wrong word here. Many have used the word "orid hjúnarskilnadur" about what is happening between DK and Fö, and based on that it is reasonable in a short transition period. A better word might be "ferming" or "konfirmatión". | BLARK_translated | Ella kanska heldur ein onnur mynd. Föding er skeivt ord her. Nógv hava brúkt orid hjúnarskilnadur um tad sum er vid at henda millum DK og Fö og útfrá tí grundgivi um tad rímuliga í stuttari skiftistíd. Betri mynd er kanska ferming ella konfirmatión. |
In the family we have problems with our identity and our parents only make it worse. Unfortunately. | BLARK_translated | Í lötuni hava vit trupuleika vid sjálvkensluni og foreldur okkara ger bara ilt verri. Tíanverri. |
Denmark became a member of the EEC in ’72 and they still have many exceptions from the Rome, Maastricht and whatever all those treaties are called. They are allowed to join / not join in European cooperation at their own pace, likewise with defence cooperation etc. Of course they are allowed that and of course they sho... | BLARK_translated | DK gjördist limur í EEC í '72 og enn hava teir nógv undantök frá Rom-, Maastricht- og hvat nú allar hasar traktatirnar eita. Teir sleppa at koma vid/ikki koma vid í evrosamarbeidi í teirra egnu takt, líkaleidis vid hernadarsamstarvi osv. Sjálvandi sleppa teir tad og líka sjálvandi skullu teir brúka sama framferdarhátt ... |
I think that the government or perhaps better: the parliament should now contact the UN and ask for an opinion on the Danish tactics against us. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at landsstýrid ella kanska betur: lögtingid nú eigur at kontakta ST og bida um sjónarmid uppá danska taktikkin móti okkum. |
For every people a time comes when they either assert full sovereignty or become a historical parenthesis. | BLARK_translated | Fyri öll fólkaslög kemur ein tíd tá man antin tekur fullveldi ella gerst ein sögulig parantes. |
Why did the Jews fight to establish Israel? Why do the Palestinians fight to get sovereignty? Indians? Inuits? Kurds? Chechens? Sámi? etc. etc. etc. etc. The list is very long. | BLARK_translated | Hví stríddust jödarnir fyri at stovnseta Ísrael? Hví strídast palestinar fyri at fáa fullveldi? Indianar? Inuittar? Kurdar? Tjetjenar? Samar? osv. osv. osv. osv. Listin er ógvuliga langur. |
Imagine how long it’s been since we heard a Faroese Social Democrat speak about life-affirming visions, opportunities. It’s very cold right now. It has always been very cold with the Union Party. They didn’t want to believe that water could flow downhill, they protested the telephones, were against the country’s first ... | BLARK_translated | Hugsið tykkum, hvussu langt síðan tað er, vit hoyrdu ein føroyskan javnaðarmann tosa um lívsjáttandi visiónir, møguleikar. Har er øskukalt í løtuni. Hjá sambandsflokkinum hevur altíð verið øskukalt. Teir vildu ikki trúgva, at vatn fekst at renna ímóti brekku, teir mótmæltu telefonini, vóru ímóti landsins fyrstu vegager... |
It is difficult for me to understand what you are writing. What do you mean when you say that about Kárius, Baktus, Paula Ellefsen, Atli Dam and Jákup Lindenskov? As far as I know, these have nothing to do with the sovereignty-debate website. | BLARK_translated | Tað er torført fyri meg, at skilja tað sum tú skrivar. Hvat meinar tú við, tá ið tú sigur hattar um Karius, Baktus Paula Ellefsen, Atla Dam og Jákup Lindenskov?. Mær vitandi hava hesi onki við fullveldiskjaksíðuna at gerða. |
Atli Dam and Jákup Lindenskov, they can be compared to Karius and Baktus. | BLARK_translated | Atli Dam og Jákup Lindenskov, teir kunnu samanberast við Karius og Baktus. |
I believed that Demos Hansen was Demmus Hentze. But that Demos may have been born before the naming law came into effect. | BLARK_translated | Eg trúði, at Demos Hansen var Demmus Hentze. Men hasin Demos er kanska føddur áðrenn navnalóggávan kom í gildi. |
They don’t want to decolonize in a proper way, but they also don’t want to sell anything special here in the future. It’s a matter of logic. All the world’s overseas territories otherwise obtained self-government in the period 1948–65, the last ones in 1975. For example, Djibouti. The French did it in a dignified way. | BLARK_translated | Vilja teir ikki avkolonialisera á ein penan hátt, koma teir heldur ikki at selja nakað serligt her í framtíðini. Talan er um logikk. Øll heimsins hjálond fingu annars sjálvstýri í tíðarskeiðnum 1948-65, tey seinastu í 1975. T.d. Djibouti. Franskmenn gjørdu tað á ein virðiligan hátt. |
I just can't see why the Danes supported the Baltic countries when they don't want to support us. | BLARK_translated | Eg dugi bara ikki at síggja hví danir stuðlaðu Baltisku londunum, tá ið teir ikki vilja stuðla okkum. |
I agree with "Sovereignty lies with the Faroese" on the day the Faroese themselves can take full responsibility for the Faroe Islands, i.e. financially, culturally and in terms of the people. | BLARK_translated | Eg taki undir við "Evstavald liggur hjá føroyingum" tann dag føroyingar sjálvir kunnu taka fulla ábyrgd av Føroyum, t.v.s. bæði fíggjarliga, mentunarliga og menniskjansliga. |
Why should we — when we supposedly have such a "large raw material base" — have a longer "rotation period" than 3–4 years? | BLARK_translated | Hví skulu vit - tá vit hava so "stórt rávørugrundarlag" sigst - hava longri "skiftistíð" enn 3-4 ár? |
Either we take "independence" — take over all administration and thereby pay for the Faroese household ourselves — and/or we are in a state association with Denmark and Greenland with the "same rights and duties"... (as so far with or without state subsidy. I should have said that, excuse me). | BLARK_translated | Antin taka vit "loysing" - yvirtaka alla umsiting og harvið gjalda ta føroyska húsarhaldi sjálvi - og/ella vera vit í ríkisfelagskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi við "somu rættindum og skyldum".. (sum higartil við ella uttan ríkisveiting. Átti eg havt sagt, orsaka meg). |
It is the “future position of the Faroes” I am thinking about, and not what the Icelanders, the Danes, Atli, Pauli, Jógvan, Hilmar and Heini O. did 5–500 years ago; that time is past. | BLARK_translated | Tað er "Framtíðar støðu Føroya" eg hugsi um, og ikki hvat íslendingar, danir, Atli, Pauli, Jógvan, Hilmar og Heini O. gjørdu fyri 5-500 árum síðani; tíðin er farin. |
You write: If anyone is to live in the Faroe Islands, we must take ourselves seriously. | BLARK_translated | Tú skrivar: Skal nakar liva í Føroyum, mugu vit taka okkum sjálvi í álvara. |
The Union Party was founded so that the Faroese would not get a telephone. Today it is no longer so unionist, because the leadership has fallen asleep, and because they are ashamed that Pauli Spillevipp was an auditor of Føroya Banki. But much more dangerous is the Social Democratic Party, which is a Danish party whose... | BLARK_translated | Sambandsflokkurin bleiv stovnaður fyri at føroyingar ikki skuldu fáa telefon. Í dag er hann ikki so sambandskur longur, tí leiðslan er sovnað, og tí teir skammast yvir at Pauli Spillevipp var grannskoðari hjá Føroya Banka. Men nógv vandamiklari er javnaðarflokkurin, sum er ein danskur flokkur, hvørs politikkur er at ja... |
This can only end badly. If anyone is to live in the Faroe Islands, we must take ourselves seriously. If we do not do that, we cannot demand that others do it. The Social Democrats do not understand this, because they have no principles. They always try to be where it is most advantageous. If the course is set only acc... | BLARK_translated | Hettar kann bara enda galið. Skal nakar liva í Føroyum, mugu vit taka okkum sjálvi í álvara. Gera vit ikki tað, kunnu vit ikki krevja at onnur gera tað. Hettar skilja javnaðarmenn ikki, tí teir hava onga støðu. Teir royna altíð at vera har tað loysir seg best. Skal kósin einans setast eftir vindinum koma vit ongantíð f... |
Elected by a majority is what the word means. I wasn't asking about the coalition or the government. I mean it in principle. | BLARK_translated | Evstavald er tað sum orðið merkir. Eg spurdi ikki um samgonguna ella landstýrið. Eg meini principielt. |
The English have an expression that you must not throw the baby out with the bathwater. And I also think that one must be careful not to discard something good just because the spokespeople are bad. That would be foolish. | BLARK_translated | Engilsmenn hava eitt útrykk um at man ikki má kasta barnið út við vatninum. Og eg haldi eisini at man má ansa eftir ikki at forkasta okkurt gott tí talsmennirnir eru vánaligir. So dummar man seg. |
It is otherwise a condition that a name is signed under the posts. | BLARK_translated | Tað er annars ein treyt at navn stendur undir innleggunum. |
Demos is a rare name. Otherwise I like what you present/bring forward. | BLARK_translated | Demos er eitt sjáldsamt navn. Annars dámar mær væl tað tú førir fram. |
Show us the facts you base your thinking about Iceland and Icelanders on. Not just your subjective opinions, but real facts. | BLARK_translated | Vís okkum tey fakta tú byggir hugsan tína um Ísland og íslendingar á. Ikki bert tínar subjektivu meiningar, men verulig fakta. |
The Icelander can hold his head high, for he lives off the values he himself has created. | BLARK_translated | Íslendingurin kann bera høvdið høgt, tín hann livir av teimum virðum, hann sjálvur hevur skapt. |
Which authority should regulate the "kortøki" that the Danes have today? Who should maintain it? Is this included in the "Red Book"? | BLARK_translated | Hvør stovnur skal umseta "kortøki" sum danir hava í dag? Hvør skal halda tað við líka? Er hetta tiki við í "Reyðubók". |
Is this an area of uncertainty, or should we just say "each time its own sorrow" (let time bring its grief)? | BLARK_translated | Er hetta ein eitt øki við óvissu, ella skulu vit bara siga "den tid den sorg"? |
I like both Iceland and Icelanders. What I mentioned about their living conditions, property rights, etc. is factual. | BLARK_translated | mær dámar bæði `Island og Íslendingar væl. Mrn tað eg nevndi um teirra livikort,ognarrætt v.m. er fakta. |
They have very limited wealth, with such a small household. | BLARK_translated | Teir hava sera avmarkaði væl, við einum so lítlum búskapi. |
And I know that the practical result of the dissolution tastes to many nationalists quite unlike their nationalist politics otherwise. | BLARK_translated | Og eg veit, at tað praktiska úrslitið av loysingini, smakkar mongum tjóðveldismanni slett ikki í tráð við tað tjóðveldismannapolitikk annars. |
I verbalized myself awkwardly, ending up saying that there was someone who was projecting. I mean that they channeled their projections onto others, etc. | BLARK_translated | Eg orðbær meg skeivt, við at enda at siga, at tað var onkur,sum projekteraði. Eg meini,at kanaliserað sínar projektiónir á onnur, o.s.f.v. |
All that I remember comrades laughed at the Icelanders. They had treated them like fools. Iceland is going bankrupt and there is a strike in Iceland. | BLARK_translated | Alt tað eg minnist hava sambandsmenn flent at íslendingum. Teir hava hildið teir fyri gjøldur. Ísland fer av knóranum og í Íslandi er verkfall. |
Hønsegaard has always tried to put hinges and bridges between himself and reality. | BLARK_translated | Hønsegaard hevur allatíðina roynt at sett knyklar og brýr ímillum seg sjálvan og veruleikan. |
In reality the Social Democrats are just sulking because "they" didn't get the prime minister. In 1989 I told Atli Dam that the banks would go wild and the man went to pieces with rage. Social Democrats live in another world. | BLARK_translated | Í veruleikanum eru javnaðarmenn bert fornermaðir tí "teir" ikki fingu løgmann. Í 1989 segði undirritaði við Atla Dam at bankarnir fóru á heysin og maðurin fór í spønir av illsinni. Javnaðarmenn liva í eini aðrari verð. |
It was Prime Minister Pauli Ellefsen who sabotaged the national bank and caused it to arrive too late, Hanna Poulsen. Otherwise there is no use mentioning concrete examples to people who think in concrete terms, because they do not have the necessary willingness to understand anything at all. | BLARK_translated | Tað var sambandsløgmaðurin Pauli Ellefsen sum saboteraði landsbankan og gjørdi at hann kom ov seint, Hanna Poulsen. Annars nyttar einki at nevna konkret dømi fyri konkrethugsandi fólki, tí tey hava ikki neyðuga viljan at skilja nakað sum helst. |
I would not have believed that Johan Samuelsen's political stance was shaped by voter surveys, but you learn as long as you live. | BLARK_translated | Ikki hevði eg trúð at politiska uppfatanin hjá Johan Samuelsen var skipað av veljarakanningum, men man lærer så længe man lever. |
So we can just "admit", like Helena always does, and say that the Social Democratic Party has structural problems. They don't know which way to turn. Øssur is also taking a lot of criticism. | BLARK_translated | So kunnu vit bara "ásanna", eins og Helena altíð ger og siga at Javnaðarflokkurin hevur strukturellar trupulleikar. Teir vita ikki hvønn veg teir skula fúka. Øssur tekur eisini nógvan vind á seg. |
When you talk about Iceland, Icelanders and Icelandic, be blessedly aware that what you say is your own and only your own opinion — you say that Faroese people or many Faroese think as you do. Your knowledge about the neighbors and the neighboring language appears so limited that it is shameful. | BLARK_translated | Tá tú tosar um Ísland, íslendingar og íslendskt,so ger vælsignaður vart við, at tað tú sigur, er tín og bert tín hugsan tú siga føroyingar ella nógvir føroyingar halda sum tú. Vitan tín um grannarnar og grannamálið tykist so avmarka, at tað er skammiligt. |
You are doing well. Now there are only 100 years difference between us. | BLARK_translated | Tað gongur framá hjá tær.Nú eru bert 100 ár á muni ímillum okkum. |
Icelanders are a rough/rowdy people, who are often very good at competitions. No doubt about that. | BLARK_translated | Islendingar eru eitt raskt fólkaslag, sum mangan hava føringum góðir í ávikum. Ongin ivi um tað. |
But Faroese society is many times better to live in than the Icelandic. | BLARK_translated | Men tað føroyska samfelagið er so nógvar ferðir betri at liva í, enn tað `Islendska. |
The Faroese have a much higher standard of living, work fewer hours, better working conditions, and the property in the Faroe Islands is spread among many more hands than in Iceland. | BLARK_translated | Føringar hava nógv hægfri livistøðið, arbeiða færri tímar, betri arbeiðsviðurskfti, og so eru ognirnar í føroyum spjadda á fleiri hendur einn í `islandi. |
Take a year in Iceland, and you will be cured of the "run to the sea solution." | BLARK_translated | Tak eitt ár í Íslandi, og tú verður grøddur fyri "loyp á sjógv loysingina". |
Faroese people do not have difficulty understanding written Danish. | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar hava ikki torført við at skilja skrivað danskt mál. |
But in the Faroe Islands there is a clique that has taken a dislike to the Danes and everything that is Danish. | BLARK_translated | Men í Føroyum er ein klika, ið hevur sæð seg ill inn á danir og alt sum danskt er. |
Faroese people do not have difficulty understanding written Icelandic. | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar hava ikki torført við at skilja skrivað íslendskt mál. |
But in the Faroe Islands there is a clique that has taken a dislike to Icelanders and everything Icelandic. | BLARK_translated | Men í Føroyum er ein klika, ið hevur sæð seg ill inn á íslendingar og alt sum íslendskt er. |
Iceland is used as a warning example: "If we Faroese separate ourselves from the Danes, we'll end up like the Icelanders: lots of work, struggle and hardship, not able to speak Danish." | BLARK_translated | Ísland verður nýtt sum ræðumynd: "Slíta vit føroyingar frá dønum, so enda vit sum íslendingar: nógv arbeiði, stríð og strev, duga ikki danskt." |
But most Faroese have great respect for Icelanders and want a good friendship and neighborly relationship with Iceland. | BLARK_translated | Men flestu føroyingar hava stóra virðing fyri íslendingum og vilja gott vina- og grannalag við Ísland. |
We know that if the Icelanders, like the Faroese, had been under Danish rule, the situation in Iceland would have been the same as in the Faroes. | BLARK_translated | Vit vita, at høvdu íslendingar eins og føroyingar verið undir donskum valdi, hevði skilið í Íslandi verið eins og í Føroyum. |
We have heard so much about our rights in the unitary state. Can you yourself explain to us what duties we have towards Denmark and Greenland? Are the duties the same for a Faroese person and a Greenlandic person towards Denmark as for a Dane towards the Faroe Islands and Greenland? | BLARK_translated | Rættindi okkara í eindarríkinum hava vit hoyrt so nógv um. Kunnu tygum sjálvur greiða okkum frá, hvørjar skyldur vit hava mótvegis Danmark og Grønlandi. Eru skyldurnar tær somu hjá einum føroyingi og grønlendingi mótvegis Danmark, sum hjá einum dana mótvegis Føroyum og Grønlandi? |
