Tíst.

Until a very short time ago, only my birds and mice knew how to make tísts.

Now many of my people make them, too, on their Inter-net.

It means “tweet”.

(My people like to make old words in their language do new things like that. I will show you more words like that later.)

A nice man named Sveinbjörn was the first of my people to tíst on the Inter-net. It is not much, but you can see it here.

And if you think my people’s language has good words in it, you can follow it on the Twitter, here.

This good, Icelandic word was pósted by your friend Iceland on 6 April 2011, and has 56 nótes.
