Jæja!
Last post I wrote about the Icelanders’ wonderful tendency of saying YES to things, rather than finding every possible fault in whatever is up for discussion and eventually saying NO.
[I should clarify here that of course there are Icelanders who do not have that automatic YES response, who see only doom or are caught in a scarcity or impossibility mindset. But in my experience, most Icelanders are more inclined to ‘go for it’ rather than to ‘endure it’.]
It is only fitting, then, that today’s Little Book of Icelandic* installment should be about the two different ways that the Icelanders say “yes”. Read on, paid subscribers (or listen to me read)!
