In this episode, I attempt to illustrate the sound and rhythm of Old Norse through a parody saga: The Saga of Ragnar the Cat and His Fish.
What begins as a royal Sunday scene soon turns into a tragicomic meditation on fish, fate, and feline philosophy. The noble Ragnar Kǫttr, fish-king of Frogner, sits deep in thought at his table, carving shavings from a dried cod while his anxious bird-servant reminds him that Monday is near. What follows is a ritual of guilt, wisdom, and the burning of fish bones — told in the stately cadence of an Icelandic saga.
Through this humorous retelling, I explore how Old Norse language, sounds, syntax, and storytelling traditions can be reimagined today — blending philology, parody, and pure absurdity.
1. Sá atburðr varð á einum sunnudegi, at Ragnarr Kǫttr, fiskkonungr af Frogneri, sat í hásæti sínu yfir borði.
2. Hann hafði svá djúpa hugsan um fisk ok speki, at hann gáði eigi stundanna.
3. Hann hafði kníf í hendi ok telgði flísar af þurrum þorski.
4. Kjøkenþjónninn, fugl lítill ok hræddr, stóð fyrir honum ok helt fiskfat.
5. Hann sá hvat konungr gerði ok skildi, at hann sjálfr hugði at ǫðru — líklega at fiskins eðli ok örlǫgum.
6. Þá mælti fuglinn lágt: “Mánadagr er á morgin, herra fiskhyggjumaðr!”
7. Ragnarr leit til hans, er hann heyrði þetta, ok mintisk þá hvat hann hafði gǫrt: hann hafði etit alla sunnudagslaxinn einn.
8. Síðan bað hann fœra sér kertisljós — eigi til iðrunnar, heldr til skemmtanar.
9. Hann sópaði saman fiskbeinum ǫllum í hǫnd sér, þeim er hann hafði gnat.
10. Þá brá hann þeim í logann ok lét brenna bein í lófa sér, sem helga fórn fisksins anda.
11. Þaðan mátti marka, at hann myndi fast halda sín lǫg ok boðorð,
12. ok vilja eigi yfir ganga þat, er hann vissi réttast — at engi fiskr skyldi deilask meir.

The word "to" causes a lot of confusion for English language learners.  Why?  "To" can play very different roles in English grammar.  "To" can be a preposition, or it can be a verbal particle.  It can play both of these roles in the same sentence.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は
前回に続いて、関西弁の話をしようかなと思います。

関西弁、といえばどんな言葉が有名なんやろ。

ベタ
コテコテ
せやねん

今日はとりあえずこんな言葉を紹介しますね。

ベタ
　これは、漫才とかでもよく出てきますね。
お笑いから関西弁に浸透したのかはわからないですが、ま、関西人ならだいたい知ってると思います。ペンキを壁一面に塗るようなことをベタ塗り、と言いますが、それからきてるみたいですね。ベタ塗りー一面にならす、とか、変化がない、とかおもしろみがない→ひねりがない、普通→普通でおもしろくないみたいな意味ですね。　
　
　なんやねん、君は！ベタなこと言うて。
　ベタなんやけど、めっちゃお好み焼きすきやねん。　
　

コテコテ
　これも少しベタに似てる表現ですね。
こってりからきてるみたいですね。濃厚でくどいさま。こってり。という様な意味みたいです。

　コテコテな関西弁使うて。なんやねん君は！
　自分、ほんまコテコテな関西弁使うなー。

せやねん
　標準語なら、そうなんです。ですかね。
それが関西弁だとせやねん、になります。

　せやねん。昨日めっちゃ寒かったわ。
　さっきからせやねん、せやねん言うて。なんやねん君は！


　例文が参考にならなくなって来ましたね笑

ということで、今回はかなりベタな関西弁3つを紹介しました。関西に住んでなくても、会話中に使ってみると結構おもしろいですよ！

　また関西弁シリーズ、しますね！

　関西弁の話とかしたい方は、ぜひオンラインでお話しましょう！お待ちしてますね！
　
　今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
