Umhvørvisvikan í Tórshavn

Umhvørvisvika var í Tórshavn í døgunum 4. til 10. maj. Endamálið við umhvørvisvikuni var at varpa meira ljós á umhvørvið. Temaið í umhvørvisvikuni í ár var Orka.

Í sambandi við umhvørvisvikuna gjørdi klippfisk fýra stuttfilmar, ið allir viðgjørdu evnið, "Soleiðis spara vit orku!"

Her eru leinkini til teir fýra stuttfilmarnir hjá Klippfiski:

Ovurnýtsla/endurnýtsla - Um ovurnýtslu og endurnýtslu, tveir háttir at liva uppá ;)

Emballaga - Um hvussu langa tíð tað tekur náttúruni at bróta niður ymisk tilfør

Alternativur fluttningur - Um heldur at nýta bussar ístaðin fyri bilar

Alternativ orka - Um at nýta orku, ið á annan hátt bara fer til spillis.. xD

Environment Week in Torshaven

There was an environment week in Tórshavn on the days, 4th to 10th of may. The purpose of the environment week was to make more people notice the environment. The theme of the environment week this year was "Energy."

Because of the environment week, Klippfisk(an shortfilm/movie-thing on the Faroes) made four shortmovies which all had the subject: "This is how we save energy!"

Here are the links for Klippfisk's four shortfilms:

Using too much/recycling - About using too much, and recycling - two ways of life ;)

Emballage - About how long it takes nature to "dissolve" different types of stuff

Alternative movement - About using busses instead of cars

Alternative energy - About using energy, which otherwise would not be used.. xD

Eitt sindur um meg sjálvan

Nú er tíðin so komin til at eg nokk má skriva eitt sindur um meg sjálvan. Eg eiti Uni, eri sekstan ár, og skrivi tað mesta av føroyska tekstinum á hesum blogginum, og eitt sindur av tí enska. Mær dámar væl tungumál, teldur, og at samskifta við onnur gjøgnum netið.

Eg og Miranda gjørdu av at gera hendan bloggin, eftir at hon ikki fann nakað tilfar á netinum, at læra seg føroyskt við. Har eru ymisk tíðindi og annað á netinum á føroyskum, men tað nyttar ikki nógv, um ein ikki skilur øll orðini, sum standa á har. Vit gjørdu so hendan bloggin, soleiðis at onnur eisini kunnu fáa nyttu burturúr honum.

Eg búgvi á næststørstu oynni í Føroyum, Eysturoy. Eg vaks partvís upp her, men flutti tó til Tórshavnar í eitt tíðarskeið uppá 2½ ár, men flutti aftur í 3. flokk. Eg arbeiði í løtuni á einum fiskavirki, í míni bygd, eftir lokna skúlagongd(9 ár). Mítt arbeiði ger, at eg fái nógva tíð at standa og hugsa, so kanska verður okkurt skriva á her, sum eg komi í tankar um, meðan eg arbeiði, -men sum oftast ikki, tí eg gloymi tað bara! :(

Eg vóni at hendan verkætlanin fer at eydnast væl! Higartil sær tað út til at gera júst tað, so takk fyri.. :)

By now I think I must write a little bit about myself. My name is Uni, I'm sixteen years old, and I am going to write most of the Faroese text on this blog, and a little bit of the English as well. I really like languages, computers, and to talk with people over the net.

Miranda and I decided to make this blog after she was unable to find good materials for learning Faroese online. There are some news sites and other things on the internet in Faroese, but it can be difficult to use them to learn, if one doesn't know all of the words in the articles. We made the blog for this reason, so that everyone can use it as she will.

I live in the second biggest island of the Faroes, Eysturoy. I grew up partly here, but I also spent two and a half years in Tórshavn. I work in a fish factory, in my village, after I quit school. While I work there, I have a lot of time to think, so I plan to think of things to write about here. Unfortunately, I often forget what I was planning to write about by the time I get home!

I hope that this endeavor will go well! So far it seems as though people are enjoying it. :) Thank you for reading!

The Faroe Islands in Panorama

Myself, I haven't yet been to the Faroe islands. But this collection of beautiful, high quality panoramas might just be the next best thing.

http://www.360cities.net/area/faroe-islands

It isn't the easiest site in the world to navigate, but start by clicking on one of the thumbnails, look for the arrow hotspots, and explore. Some of the panoramas show quaint little towns complete grass roofs, others show the capital of Tórshavn, some little alleyways and backyards that make the Faroe Islands seem real, and still others the sweeping and breathtakingly beautiful Faroese landscape.

I spent about 10 minutes looking around, and picked some of my favourite pictures to show.

Føroyar í panorama

Eg sjálv havi ikki verið í Føroyum. Men hendan samlingin av vøkru og hágóðsku myndunum kann væl vera tað næst besta!

http://www.360cities.net/area/faroe-islands

Tað er ikki tann lættasta síðani í verðini at reika á, men byrja við at trýsta á tummilsmyndirnar, finn pílarnar, og reika víðari runt í panoramunum. Nøkur av panoramunum vísa hugnaligar lítlar bygdir, hús við grastekjum, aðrar vísa Tórshavn, høvuðsstaðin, og aftur aðrar vísa bergtakandi vakra landsskapið í Føroyum.

Eg brúkti einar 10 minuttir uppá at hyggja runt, og valdi tær bestu burturúr, at vísa her.

See the adorable grass roofs in an 'urban' environment! :D Too sweet!
Hygg at teimum hugnaligu grastekjunum í einum hugnaligum býarumhvørvi! :D Alt ov fitt!



Tinganes, Tórshavn
I felt like this screen captured so much about the small scale of the Faroe Islands - there is just something extraordinary about the simple benches outside of what is probably the most famous building in the Faroe Islands.
Eg kendi tað sum um hendan myndin fangaði so nógv um, hvussu lítlar Føroyar eru - har er bara okkurt serligt um hasar einklu benkurnar uttanfyri tað, sum nokk er kendasti bygningurin í Føroyum.


Sandavagur
This little pink church is so sweet! And the low mountains around are also lovely.
Henda lítla ljósareyða kirkjan er so søt! Og lágu fjøllini rundan um eru eisini deilig.


And this one is my favourite: Near Bøur
If you enable 'hot spots' on the lefthand side, you can actually find the arrows (this time they are on the road) and go to other Faroese panoramas within the embedded player.
Og hetta er mín yndis: Nær við Bø
Um tú velur "hot spots" til vinstru, finnur tú faktiskt pílarnir (hesu ferð eru teir á vegnum), og kanst fara til aðrar føroyskar panorama'ir, í sama spælarinum.
