Dear Nanna,

I heard that Iceland was a great place for women, regularly topping international polls for gender equality and actively promoting women’s rights. Do you think this runs true?

Best, 

Frankfurt Feminist

Dear Frankfurt Feminist,

When I’m asked about my opinions on feminism, I like to refer to educated and articulate people who know what they are talking about. In this case, I would like to point you Sunny Sweetness, a leading voice among Icelandic women on the topic of feminism. If you have the time, maybe shave your pits and watch this.

Sincerely,

Nanna-With-Tits-As-Big-As-The-Living-Room-Árnadóttir.

Dear Nanna

I’ve heard that it’s very easy to learn how to speak Icelandic. One can simply put an -ur at the end of every word-ur. Is this true-ur?

Thank you,

Olafur

Dear Olafur,

Since-ur you-ur have-ur deciphered-ur our language-ur so-ur quickly-ur, I-ur feel-ur confident-ur writing-ur this-ur to-ur you-ur in-ur Icelandic-ur. Congratulations-ur, no-ur more-ur phrasebooks-ur for-ur you-ur!

Best-ur,

Nanna-ur.
