Hún er hugrökk og hikar ekki við að tala íslensku við aðra.
She is brave and does not hesitate to speak Icelandic with others.
Ég hikaði lengi, en á endanum var ég nógu hugrakkur til að senda umsóknina.
I hesitated for a long time, but in the end I was brave enough to send the application.
Ef hún væri ekki svona kvíðin, myndi hún ekki hika svona lengi.
