    'Even though someone admitted that the former sentence was right, they still tried to say the latter sentence, which contrasted with the former'.

    I would say 'I won't go into detail about it' or 'I won't go into the details'.

    'Unsafe', is just another way of saying 'not safe'. Hope that helps.

    It's a rather old phrase now, but essentially it means the niece " 'left' and married a towner".

    Icelandic genitive? When using the Icelandic genitive and saying 'the child's cat', you put child' in the definite genitive form, right? But what if I wanted to say 'A child's cat'? Or...'A person's house'. Is it as simple as using the indefinite genitive form? Or not?

    The difference between "fyrirgefði/ðu" and "því miður"? I've heard both used and I'm not sure about them...Is it like the difference between "Sorry" and "I apologise"? Or is the meaning of "því miður" completely different? (I read somewhere that it meant 'unfortunately' or 'regretfully'. Is that right?) I know that the word 'því' is used in all sorts of crazy ways, but in this particular case...I am thoroughly confused.

    When saying "my ....." in Icelandic, do you add the definite article? I just want to make sure. Take the phrase, "My dog." When I looked it up as an example to use, it came up with "Hundurinn minn." But I thought that the (singular) genitive case for 'hundur' was 'hunds'. So is the translator wrong? Or do you add the definite article? ...If so, then what would the point be in HAVING the genitive case ending...? I am confused.

    What is the difference between 'drengur' and 'strákur' Icelandic? I mean I get that you can have more than one word for it. In English there is 'boy', 'lad', 'guy', 'chap' etc, so that's not difficult to understand. But which one is more commonly used?
