It left me puzzled. Was it making up the -rav- sound for no reason? I have also been told that “gjöf” would be said as “yov”. The “g” making a soft “y” sound in that scenario.
I have never heard this before and I if it “exits” it’s probably some old norse stuff. Are you sure you didn’t mean sjálfsalar or something?
The AI is bullshitting you. Half of its explanations are off the mark or plain wrong, and even they are inapplicable since this appears to be an Old Norse word, for which different phonetical rules would apply.
Never seen that word before 🙂
It’s pronounced more like ‘dís nötz’
Right from the start it was completely wrong. Icelandic doesn’t even have a g sound like in gem. There is no j sound, ch sound, or sh sound in Icelandic. G’s are always like the g in go. Unless there are in the middle or end of word, where they are soft and guttural. I would not trust an AI to teach you Icelandic. Google Translate is right at least 60% of the time. So I would use that to help you. But really Icelandic is best taught in person. Because Icelandic is not a regular language. There are many exceptions to every rule. Sometimes ll sounds an l sometimes it makes a guttural sound that is hard to explain. And only an Icelander can tell you when it makes either sound. And sometimes the word is spelled the same but the pronunciation tells you what it means. And sometimes the word is spelled the same and pronounced the same but has a different meaning from context.
Do you want an Old Norse pronunciation or the modern Icelandic one?
Put “gjálfur salur” (notice that the words are separate, otherwise it mispronounces it for some reason) into Google Translate under Icelandic, and it will pronounce it for you.
In Old Norse, ‘á’ was pronounced as a long [/a:/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_front_unrounded_vowel?wprov=sfti1#), but the rest should have sounded similar.
