Well my extended stay in Reykjavik finally came to an end, and I’ve been forced to return to my “real life” here in Seattle. It was a great three weeks, just being in the country, surrounded by the language and holiday festivities. free games I got way too relaxed free games (or maybe lazy) and took a bit of a break from blogging, but now it’s back to the business of learning Icelandic!
This story about a report of a fire had the phrase brenna yfir , which I think means to either burn out or overheat – it’s free games used in discussing a motor, so one of those translations seems appropriate. I’m pretty sure I walked past this place at some point during my Reykjavik wanderings

The verb rýma has the dictionary meaning of vacate , but also seems to be used for evacuate free games . You may have seen it in the news recently with all the snow in the Vestfirðir, free games some houses and buildings had to be evacuated due to the avalanche risk ( snjóflóðahætta ).
There is another verb brenna which has a different conjugation (being a weak verb as opposed to a strong) free games which has a slightly different meaning. It still means burn , but I believe it is more the act of burning something or setting it on fire, as opposed to being on fire. And while I’m at it, may as well throw in the other brenna , the noun for bonfire að brenna – to burn, set on fire present past ég brenni brenndi þú brennir brenndir það brennir brenndi við brennum brenndum þið brennið brennduð þau brenna brenndu    brenna (f) – bonfire free games singular plural nom brenna brennur acc brennu brennur dat brennu brennum gen brennu brenna
