Huh, it's quite out of GG line...
:-) I used to live in
a medium-sized city in Poland, where my parents could say
something about half of the people. And my mum, a teacher, says "Hello" at
least once for every 50 m of walk out in the street. Reykjavik is just a bit
bigger. Could it be hard to come across Bjork there? (if she's there
at all and has a habit of roaming a little about the city ;-)
A detailed answer on "egghead" in
Polish:
jajo (more usual: jajko) = egg,
glowa = head
jajoglowy = egghead
This word is an adjective in the role of a
noun. Adjectives and nouns show in 5 genres (3 for sing., 2 for plural),
and in each genre inflexes by 7 cases (what differs all the variety of
forms is endings, here: jajoglow-y). Shown here is masculine singular
nominative, like most keywords in dictionaries.
To make things worse, the letter "L" in the
word should be crossed with a short line - it's different from ordinary "L",
Poles read it like "w" in WE, WHAT, WANT etc. (and in my family name too). "J"
is like "Y" in YET, "W" is always like "V".
Yeah, I've gone far from Glenn.
What's more, it's Lipatti, not GG, that I'm going to listen to now! Where's my black cat?!
