Some of you may know this site already. Besides the information in
the answers themselves, I've found it a useful place to practice
reading modern Icelandic, since the writing is intended to be clear,
and if you already know something about a particular topic, it makes
it easier to follow the meaning from the context even where you meet
unfamiliar words.
Well, I just noticed that they now have some answers in English too, e.g.
What was a fóstbræðralag ('foster-brotherhood') and why did people
make them?

Hvað er fóstbræðralag og hvers vegna sórust menn í fóstbræðralag?

I'm not sure if there's a simple way of finding the Icelandic version
from the English though. That would be handy...
