Introduce yourselves

david,

Warm, after a very cold spring, my tomatoes are finally starting to grow

I am 5 miles from Washington DC

Virginia is sweet..

 

Hva betyr deg?

If correct,

What do you mean?

Big difference.

 

Skua: What is cod in Norwegian? :roll:

 

'Torsk' is 'cod' in Norwegian.

'What do you mean ?' > 'Hva mener du ?'

But I think you would be surprised to find out how many Danish/Norwegian/Norse words there are in the English language.

 

Sorry bety means signify or meaning point taken. Yes I know there are many similarities.

 

Thank you. Now I know how to say "codfisher" in Norwegian. Torskfiskare :lol:

 

Not very surprised!

What is the Norwegian word for 'shopping'


(my fiance has ust returned from Norway. She loved it, and wants to live there. After eating the salami she brought back, I agree! )

 

Edit:
We have edit and quote-buttons too close eachother. Or my mouseopointer is too big.

 

køpen I think.

jeg køper en torsk pä min lunsj.

I will buy a cod for my lunch.

Spelling and word order may not be correct.

 

'Handel'.

No, I see what you mean. A few English words have managed to sneak into the Norwegian language and 'shopping' is one of them. But I rarely use it myself.

Almost correct though ( 'Jeg kjøper en torsk til lunsj' ), I'm impressed.

That's Swedish.



Roel, I think it's time to do some splitting.

 

Tusen takk, men jeg har ikke snakt Norsk pä sjutener är.

Or something like that. I am sure you understand.

 

Oh yeah, we're having another fine language mess!

Is it true that Danes or Norwegians will thank you for thanking them when you thank them, leading to endless exchanges of "thanks for the thanks"?

Just something I heard once.

 

I had a DaneAmerican friend here that used to joke that way, he said his grandfather used to do it.

I would like to Fank you for Fanking me so Fank hearteedly..

and I fank you..

only after a few beers

 

Just saying hello!

Hi everyone!
My name is John and for the past couple of days I have been getting involved and enjoying myself enormously!
I probably dont have the sort of knowledge that you chaps have,as I am just a keen amateur who has not been able to get too involved due to family,job,bills etc,so forgive me if I seem a little naiive,or lack details,but I am sure that with a little help I'll be up to speed before long thanks all.John

 

Re: Just saying hello!

welcome john!!!!
and do not worry , we started the same way, just wait and learn from everybody

enjoy it!!!! :smok:


p.s. you are not the only one married, as a matter of fact, we have a member who's getting married, so no excuses

 

Greetings Countyman!

 

Hi every one, I've just joined this forum. It looks like a cool place to hang out and talk about tanks and war and stuff. See yas around.

 

welcome to both of you.

 

Welcome to both!

Hey, John, don't worry about feeling like an amateur - much of what you say about yourself applies to all of us!

 

Welcome on board to Dave (Not another one... :lol: ) and John, as Roel says that applies to a lot of us here too, we're all here to learn new things off new people and enjoy the debates that follow.
