The web site Huffington Post had an article about the 50 most unusual churches in the world, and Hallgr\u00edmskirkja in Reykjav\u00edk was the first on the list. Another Icelandic church in Stykkish\u00f3lmur also made the list.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if I ever thought of it as unusual<\/em>, but it certainly is unique, and you immediately think Reykjav\u00edk<\/strong> when you see it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Hallgr\u00edmskirkja ein \u00f3venjulegasta \u00ed heimi<\/strong><\/a> Hallgr\u00edmskirkja er ein \u00f3venjulegasta kirkja \u00ed heimi. \u00deetta er mat bandar\u00edska vefmi\u00f0ilsins Huffington Post sem tekur saman lista yfir 50 \u00f3venjulegustu kirkjur heimsins. Stykkish\u00f3lmskirkja kemst einnig \u00e1 listann. H\u00fan situr \u00ed 30. s\u00e6ti.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hallgr\u00edmskirkja<\/a> is the most unusual church in the world. This is the determination of American web site Huffington Post<\/a> which compiled a list of 50 of the most unusual churches in the world. Stykkish\u00f3lmskirkja also made the list. It sits at number 30.<\/em><\/p>\n Among other things, this article gives an example of the formation of a superlative adjective in Icelandic using \u00f3venjulegur<\/strong>. In general, the comparative is formed with -(a)ri<\/strong>, ans the superlative with -astur<\/strong>. So you would have \u00f3venjulegri<\/strong> meaning more unusual, and \u00f3venjulegastur<\/strong> as most unusual. Also of note here is that the weak form of the adjective is used, \u00f3venjulegasta<\/strong>. There are various instances where the weak form is used, like when the definite article is used, or a possessive. I think here it might be used because ein<\/strong> is being used similarly to the way hin<\/strong> would be used.<\/p>\n Fyrst \u00e1 listanum er Hallgr\u00edmskirkja sem stendur efst \u00e1 Sk\u00f3lav\u00f6r\u00f0ust\u00edg \u00ed Reykjav\u00edk.

Other churches on the list include a transparent church in Brussels, a chapel which stands on a mountain in France, an underground church in Colombia and the colorful cathedral St. Basils in Red Square in Moscow. Stykkish\u00f3lmskirkja is also counted among the unusual churches.<\/em><\/p>\n There were a couple of interesting vocabulary words in this paragraph, like gegn\u00b7s\u00e6r<\/strong> (transparent, see-through<\/em>) and ne\u00f0an\u00b7jar\u00f0ar<\/strong> (underground<\/em>).<\/p>\n The web site Huffington Post had an article about the 50 most unusual churches in the world, and Hallgr\u00edmskirkja in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[11,13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3921"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3921"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3936,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3921\/revisions\/3936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/islenzka.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
