      Sort of. ð is the Icelandic rendering for both edh and thorn, depending on context. Edh is voiced, thorn isn’t.

        voiced th is like this, that, mother

        unvoiced th like thick, thimble, thirty

        notice how the voiced th has a buzzing vocalization during the th sound, you can feel your teeth buzzing as you say the th in this

        but when you pronounce thirty that buzzing is absent and the first buzzing starts with the i (the vowel is the first voiced part).

        V and F are basically the same sound, except V is voiced. Alternate between them like VVVVVVVVVVVVVFFFFFFFFFVVVVVVVVVFFFFFF while touching your throat, you’ll feel the throat vibrate while saying V but not for F
