Episode 74 - AUÐSKILIÐ - THE WEATHER IN SIMPLE ICELANDIC

Today on RÚV English, a new episode of Auðskilið.

Atli is back with Darren to go through another simply written and read news story, today about the stormy weather that affected Iceland this week.

Follow along with the story here - https://www.ruv.is/audskilid/2023-05-23-mikill-vindur-i-dag - we start with the first main paragraph, under the image of the map.

We also talk about the bizarre linguistic confusion between the Icelandic words "bakari" (bakery) and "apotek" (pharmacy), and some research that has been done into the phenomenon!
