Is Icelandic the same as Norsk. if I learn Icelandic will I understand Norsk?

In: Iceland [Edit categories]

Answer:

Icelandic is almost (there are always a few exceptions) the same as Old Norsk. If you learn Icelandic you will understand most of the thing the Norwegians will say. For example, in Icelandic you have the form 'heitir' (<heita: to be called, 2nd & 3rd person singular), in Norsk you have the form 'heiter'.
