Greetings,

Here are more of my attempts at the translation exercises

3.2
e) I see many thieves!  I want to kill them all!
Ek sé marga þjófa!  Ek vil vega þá alla!

f) Olaf wants to kill the thieves, but they see him coming.
Óláfr vill vega þjófana, (but*) þeir sjá hann koma.
(I couldn't find the conjunction "but")  :-(

g) As the thieves hear Olaf speak, they all flee.  The king chases them.
Er heyrir þjófar Óláf mæla, flýja þeir allir.  Konungr eltir þá.

h) Many a thief wants to take the boat.
Margr þjófr vill taka bátinn.

Thanks,
Tim
