***Questions about Norwegian and Norway***

Ifølge min ordbok våske betyr wash.

Men du skrivt det med ""'s, derfor jeg syn at dette er en hverdagsuttrykk?

Det ny HothDivisjon hjemsiden er veldig cool!

--Joey

Vaske er et hverdagsutrykk.

"Can you wash the dishes"
betyr
"Kan du vaske tallerkene"

Men hva tror du skjer hvis jeg heller vann på websiden min? Da eksploderer datamaskinen min. Jeg brukte derfor "" for å vise at jeg rydder opp på websiden. Når man vasker opp tallerkner, så rydder man jo opp på en måte!

Skjønner?

Jeg kan godt skrive om de forskjellige hovedpersonene. Skal jeg da skrive om f.eks. Obi-Wan i episode 2 eller om obi-wan fra alle filmene?

Jeg forstå nå

Idag jeg var høretter "Deck the Halls" og noe sangtekster er:

Don we now, our gay apparell
Troll the ancient yule-tide carol

Jeg tror det er interessant fordi min familie vet ikke hva dette tekst betyr.

Yule = Jul
Tide = Tid

Woohoo! Norsk er mer nyttig enn jeg trodde!

--Joey

Du kan skrive om Obi-Wan fra episode 2, jeg har fra de andre filmene... Alle som skriver blir selvfølgelig kreditert med sitt eget navn eller sitt kallenavn her på FanForce Norway!

Skriver gjerne noen ord om Darth Maul hvis det trengs. Skal expandend Universe være med i beskrivelsen?

Tja alt er ikke av interesse, med hovedpersoner fra EU er interessant. Når det gjelder Darth Maul, så har jeg allerede skrevet det!

Jeg kjenner igjen det i England! Det henger svære plakater overalt med Yuletide og masse norsk-engelske ord. Kult! Dette er riktignok York, med masse Viking- påvirking, men likevel!

Spørsmål: Jeg tro jeg si 'å' og 'o' den samme. Skal jeg uttale dette forskjellig?

F.eks når jeg høre etter "Alt for Norge" han sier "om vi må" men "om vi mo" eller "åm vi må" kan bli uttale det samme?

mvh,

Joey

F.eks når jeg høre etter "Alt for Norge" han sier "om vi må" men "om vi mo" eller "åm vi må" kan bli uttale det samme?

Lyden o uttales ikke alltid som aa.

Feks, Forum, ost, etc.. her uttales det o.

Men i ord som; ordentlig, om, norge, etc.. uttales det aa.

Det finnes sikkert en regel for det en plass, men kan man den.... nei..

Okay, takk Karoline

--Joey

I am proud of myself. I was watching Hotel Caesar on TV2 and I understood 4 lines in row! Granted, there was some repetition, but I understood! Along with a few words here and there.

Jeg er gladde for meg. Jeg sett Hotel Caser på TV2 og jeg forstod fire tekster. Noen var gjenta men jeg forstod! Også få ordene i løpet av dette programme.

Sweet!

Okay, I just had to get the bragging out of my system. I'm good now

BTW, my sociology teacher says that "spanking" is illegal in Scandinavia. Is that true?

--Joey

For og lære norsk, burde du se på engelske/amerikanske filmer med norsk tekst.. Det var sån jeg lærte mye engelsk

Ja, jeg se Amerikaner på God Kveld Norge og Tv2 bruke norsk oversette tekster.

--Joey

Long time no see, Joey!

My goodness, you're Norwegian is getting frighteningly good!

Karoline; In York and the area the names of streets aren't even street - but gate (the Norwegian word for street).

Right back at ya Christer. When's your new album coming out?

Yup I noticed that about "gate". However, because I only heard the word, I did not connect gate to "gah-teh" (f.eks Karl Johannesgate). Same in German too. Like Brandenburg Gate!

--Joey

Godt Syttende Mai til alle!

Jeg må kjøp Ringnes og Jarlsberg for middag

--Joey

The new album is in "progress", but it might take some time. We are hoping to get recordings done before the Fall, and then we shall have to see when we can afford to pay for pressings. The website is not updated much these days, but news will be up there first if and when stuff happens.

Yes, 17.mai was a good party for me! I intended to stay sober and enjoy a big meeting/party at the Student Society in Trondheim. That was wonderful and topped off by a mini-concert by the Annbjørg Lien Trio. Incredible! You should get hold of some of her music somehow. I know they toured the US last year, and this is the ultimate in Norwegian folk music - taken from its deepest roots and thrust into a fantastic modern sound. Gave me shivers!

And after that, around midnight, the urge for beer was too intense. Which means, I'm hung over.

Adali: Ja York er veldig viking- paavirket. Til jul var det plakater overalt med Yule-Tide i butikkene

Apropos vikinger
Jeg surfet litt paa nettet mellom diverse Led Zeppelin (favorittbandet, som jeg promoterer til enhver anledning) sider her om dagen, og kom over en fin en med alle tekstene deres. Slik gaar Immigrant Song, en av mine mange personige favoritter:


We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
Hammer of the gods
We'll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing an' cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep-we with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

S-so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing

Quick question, in EPCOT (Disney World) they have the Norwegian pavilion where you learn about the country (restaurant, boat ride, and of course, the ubiquitous gift shop )

Anyway, a few months ago when I visited, one of the Norwegian cast members is telling everyone to get ready for a short movie on Norway. Then he says, "As we in my country said to our Scottish friends..."

Then rattles of a song in Norwegian, the last line was the only thing I could understand (I think! ) and it was "Og vi skal tilbake!"

Any idea what that song was?

--Joey

I'm very happy to say that I have no clue...

I've been to the Norwegian pavilion in Disney World as well! That place is great!

But I have no idea which song.. Sorry

Today I was thinking "Wow it has been a while since I bothered my Norwegian friends with a question!"

How would you say something rules, or rocks in Norwegian? Given that those are so colloquial, translating directly would seem wrong. However, with "Kul" and "Traad" being part of the Norsk vocabulary maybe ruler or roksnene is appropriate

Hvordan er alle i min favoritt utlandet? Jeg håpe veldig bra som alltid

--Joey

Hei alle!

Naar jeg besoek Epcot, jeg alltid spoerre "Salg deg, Freia Melkesjokolade her?"

De Kvinne sier "No sorry"

Jeg proevt en mere (siste besoek) og hun sier "Ja selfoelgelig!"

Jeg kjoept 225 kroner av dette. God jul til meg...

My norwegian feels rusty (by that I mean wrong) so the less painful version: Everytime I visit Epcot I always ask the girl at the Norway pavilion do you sell Freia Milk Chocolate? She always says no, but this time showed me a huge stash! I bought 15 bucks worth of the stuff. Merry Chirstmas to me! And...it was just as good as I remembered it!

God jul alle,

--Joey

Well, she might have misunderstood ever so slightly. In my ears it sounded like "Sell you Freia Melkesjokolade here!"

Selger du Freia melkesjokolade her?

On the other side they may have realised that they needed to import it, and now they have. Because of all that "little piece of norway" commercial stuff.
