Páll says that it is obvious that Eyjafjallajökull and Katla are connected. These siblings sit side by side and influence each other, although Katla is much more dangerous.

Hann segir að greinilegt sé, ekki segir greinilega að eitthvað...

Hann segir ekki að þau virðist tengd, heldur að þau séu tengd.

Það verður að segja much more dangerous.

Thanks Anna_Louise!

Good to have a natives input. It seems I've made many misstakes and I'm not sure I understood you right...

Should it be: "Páll says that it clearly looks like Eyjafjallajokull and Katla are connected. These siblings sit side by side and they influence each other, although Katla is much more dangerous."

Hi Pia

those two words "sé" and "séu" are used when something is doubtful, or as it is written in the dictionary: It is not known with certainty (a hypothetical situation)

juhlstein/ Lilian, I guess I've got it wrong... sorry.

What about to write: "Páll says there's a posibility that Eyjafjallajokull and Katla are connected. These siblings sit side by side and they influence each other, although Katla is much more dangerous."

Or maybe (to highlight the doubt): "Páll points out, Eyjafjallajokull and Katla may be connected. These siblings sit side by side and they influence each other, although Katla is much more dangerous"

sé or séu can also mean are.

I would go for : Páll says that it is obvious that Eyjafjallajökull and Katla are connected. These siblings sit side by side and influence each other, although Katla is much more dangerous.

Nice translation Pias!
