Examples

“Á undan íþróttaþættinum er framhaldsmyndaflokkur, sem krakkar hafa ekki nema takmarkað gaman af að fylgjast með. Hann tekur það frekan tíma af dagskránni, að íþróttirnar byrja ekki fyrr en um hálf tíu, og lýkur því ekki fyrr en um hálf ellefu.”

Before the sports program there is a series, which kids only have limited enjoyment of watching. It takes up so much time out of the schedule, that the sports don’t start until about half past nine, and therefore don’t end until about half past ten.

“Í freka tvo klukkutíma sat apinn á hækjum sínum fyrir framan mig og horfði forvitnislega á mig og þótti mér þetta allískyggilegt.”

For over two hours the ape sat on his haunches in front of me and looked curiously at me and I found this quite ominous.

“Frekari rannsókna er þörf.”

Further research is needed.
