\"barbecue\"<\/p>\n

Even back when the cold and rainy June weather was happening in Iceland, the news was reporting that outdoor grill sales were strong. Now with the sun and warm weather everywhere, the fire department would like to remind those “grill-happy” Icelanders to be careful with the gas tanks \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Two emergency calls reached the capital-area fire department in short succession tonight for a fire that started from a grill. According to the fireman on shift they were minor fires in both cases, and didn’t require assistance from the fire department once they arrived on the scene.<\/em><\/p>\n

The phrase of geyst<\/strong> was new for me; it seems to mean too fast<\/em>, or in haste<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I notice vakthafandi<\/strong> a lot in the news, whether it’s police, fire or hospital staff. Literally it’s having the watch<\/em> – so the person on duty, on shift at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n

The fire department nevertheless wants to impress upon grill-happy Icelanders to be careful with the gas tank and grill, and especially protect the gas-lines from damage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, grillgl\u00f6\u00f0um<\/strong> was the word that caught my attention in this article \ud83d\ude42 I guess you can make this compound with most anything (grill\u00b7gla\u00f0ur<\/strong> would be the nominative masculine form). This is one of those words that in English would have a hyphen (whatever<\/em>-happy) but in Icelandic this isn’t the case.<\/p>\n\n\n
