WHAT

[slettnorskmededvin]

Jeg elsker norsk, det er den første kjærligheten min, derimot vil jeg studer finsk siden Eurovision fordi herregud,,,, jeg er glad i Käärijä. Sangene hans har spilt uten pause siden. Jeg skal ikke begynne et nyt språk fordi jeg har ikke tid men trangen er sterk.

Tydeligvis elsker jeg Cha Cha Cha, men liker jeg også Välikuolema og Rock Rock.

tilbake

hei folkens! jeg er tilbake med et nytt navn og et helt nytt kjønn! :)

jeg har begynt å studere norsk igjen etter nesten 3 års pause, så følg med for flere innlegg her snart.

[studyscrasic]

I know I haven't been here in ages (although I'd sort of like to change that, and maybe even make this a broader studyblr), but I'm feeling really proud of one of my short essay responses on my most recent Norwegian exam? So I thought I would share it here

The grammar is absolutely a little wonky (and I am totally open to corrections), but I mostly just think it's really cool that now that I'm an intermediate student, in my second year of studying the language, I actually have the vocabulary to talk about topics that are really important to me in another language, even if I can't do it perfectly.

This was the prompt:

Tror du på kjærlighet ved første blikk? Hvorfor eller hvorfor ikke? Hva synes du om konseptet av å gifte seg ved første blikk?

And this was my response:

Jeg er uenig med idéen av "kjærlighet ved første blikk." Det er sann du kan se andre personer og tror de er veldig pen, eller snill, eller morsomt, eller interessant, eller andre flott ting. Men forholder er mer enn tror det en person er bra. Det er viktig dere kan hjelpe hverandre og kommunisere god. Kjærlighet er når du er glad med noen og også å forstå dem god. Idéer liksom "å gifte seg ved første blikk" er dårlig, fordi ekteparen skjønner ikke hverandre og kan ikke være hvem ektefjellen sin trenger. Jeg er asexuell og aromantisk, så kjærlighet er ofte rart til meg. Men jeg har bor med en venn fire år, og før vi bor med hverandre vi var allerede gode venner. Hun og jeg liker å bo sammen og vil forbli med hverandre i fremtiden, men vi har arbeidet på kommunikasjon mye. Jeg forstår henne mer enn når vi begynte å bo sammen, og hun skjønner meg mer også. Det er ikke dårlig kjærlighet ved første blikk er ikke sann -- det mener vi kan arbeide til forstå og kommunisere med folk der er viktig til oss.

Why are the Norwegian dub and sub so different from each other for Frozen 2? It’s not all about space.

[dirtwatching]

let me tell you, i am obsessed with how wonderful the norwegian for 'my wife' sounds. "kona mi". (pronounced "koonah mee" for yall americans). so soft, so tender. that phrase alone is reason enough to get a wife

Translating "Viking" Fra Norge til Amerika

So long story short, my grandmother (Not related but close enough to be called my grandmother) gave me some of her family's old books as a gift. The book I listed in the title was written in 1894 and brought over from her grandfather, Thor, to Odin, Minnesota from Oslo. It tells the story of the "Viking" which was a replica longship that was sailed to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 from Bergen. I have been doing my best to translate it with the intention of giving it to her, at least in part.

I don't know Norwegian, so I've been doing my best to type what I'm finding into Google Translate and edit from there, while learning to read the language along the way. I have only gotten through a page so far and I think I'm running into syntax issues and some words that the translator simply isn't understanding. I was wondering if anyone could read this and let me know if this feels like it's going down the right track and maybe give some clarification. I'm assuming some of my issues are due to the fact that this is written in a style that's over 100 years old and thus uses obsolete spellings or words. I'm vaguely aware of the language split that happened around this time and think that's what's causing my issues.

I'm attaching an image of the page from the book as well in case anyone notices that I identified a letter incorrectly.

This is what I have input into the translator based on my reading

Saavel på denne jom på hin Side Atlanterhavet blir jeg ofte møtt med spørsmålet: Hva fikk deg til å ta del i dette eventyret?

Som Svar på disje spørsmålet jfal Jeg tillater meg følgende forklaringer:

"Bergens Havnemisjion" beghndte jin Birfjomhed 21de januar 1890. Denne Misjions Formaal er at være hiemmeværende sømænd til støtte og hælp jaavel i legemlig jom aandelig henfeede. On jådan misjionsgren er her jædeles nødvendig. I en jom Bergen med jå livlig søjart er her til enjver Tid aj Uaret en hel del søjolf. Under jit dels fortere, dels længere Ophold er her mange aj dem, fom de timelig og aandelig trænger, at der ræffes dem en hiælpende Hånd. Dette jar "Bergens Havnemisjion" jorjøgt. Og det er mit haab og min Tro, at Gjerningen her gud vedfjendt jig, jå den er blevet iffe jå jå til Beljigndlje.

Men den har navt meget at, fjælig hvad bed øfonomijfe angår, jå det aj Mangel på Midler ojte har jaldt nofjå hårdt at holde Gjerningen gående.

______________________________________________________________________________________---

This is what the translator gave back with some notes I've added.

As well (I think this must mean "Even on this side of the Atlantic" but I'm not sure) on this side of the Atlantic I am often met with the question: What made you take part in this adventure? As an answer to this question, I allow myself the following explanations:

"Bergens Havnemisjion" (Bergen's Harbor Mission ?) began in Birfjomhed on 21st January 1890. The purpose of this mission is to be a support and help for sailors staying at home, both physically and spiritually. Yes, a missionary branch is absolutely necessary here. In Bergen, with its lively sea life, there are quite a few sea elves (Possible slang for sailors? It gave me similar results in Danish and Norwegian) here at any time of the year. During jit partly faster, partly longer stay, there are many of them here, for they are temporally and spiritually in need, that a helping hand is given to them. (This sentence seems to be saying that some are in Bergen for a long time, some for a short time and they require assistance or work) This year "Bergens Havnemisjion" was founded. And it is my hope and my faith that the deed here, God forbid, yes it has become iffe yes yes to Beljigndlje. (No idea what is going on with this sentence. I think something structural like word order is messing me up.) But it has known a lot that, as far as the economy is concerned, the lack of funds has made it hard enough to keep the work going.

6.4.2024

Hi all! Sorry for neglecting this blog. I have been trying to find a job (unsuccesfully, this country is in a recession) and studying on my own (korean writing system for now).

I should start working on the applying for PhD mayhem in september. I'm excited and also stressed! But this is something i've wanted to do for a long time, so i'll try my best. I'll be applying to the literature program, and my study keywords are: posthumanism, feminism, decolonialization, old literature, horror stories, 1800s, gothic literature.

I'm also gonna start really working on my language side (norwegian to make me actually be not scared of speaking it since i know enough already to do so) and korean (help me!!! Help meeeee). I'm really slow learning languages so it's gonna be a whole thing but i'm up for it.

I've been reading a lot and trying to keep my brain active. I feel so bored and disconnected out from uni.. so i wanna get back.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm in a French/Norwegian exchange server but we are currently very small so we are looking for more people would like to come in.

[slettnorskmededvin]

Hallo! Jeg heter Edvin. Jeg kommer fra Storbritannia og jeg lærer norsk. I 2019, begynte jeg etter jeg fant den populær TV-serien, SKAM, og ble forelsket med språket. Jeg har lært norsk (passivt) i fire år nå men jeg er fortsatt ikke veldig god. Det er derfor jeg vil øve denne sommeren og muligens for lengre. Hvis du vil bli med meg på reisen min, skal jeg gjerne ha ditt selskap. :)

Jeg ønsker å skrive om ting jeg liker som språklæring, bøker, politikk, musikk, og annet. Jeg vil også skrive om ting jeg lærer om norge som interesserer meg.

Hvis noen norsktalende kommer over bloggen min, alle tips du ønsker å gi vil bli satt stor pris på.

Jeg håper du skal nyte bloggen min! :) Ha det og vi ses!

Sup.

New Year, New Project:

✨ a language blog ✨

And I am definitely not making this post at midnight, while playing Genshin Impact.

aNyways here's some info about me and this blog!

Who I am:

The name's Valor, and I go by they/them pronouns

I'm from Europe (mainly). More specific than that and it gets... complicated. Especially when it comes to languages. (I am part latino, technically, but I don't really care much for that side of me? so. yeah. european.)

I'm a teen with a burning passion for learning and a burning hatred for school

Diagnosed with ADHD in 2022 😎

Apart from learning languages, I also enjoy reading, voice acting, art and listening to music

I'm also a little obsessed with Genshin Impact right now. Just a little. You might see me messing with the languages there.

My languages:

🇺🇸 English: Native (sort of). Recently did the C1 test and I got a C2 grade. My main language, especially online. Not much to say tbh.

🇪🇸 Spanish: Native. Haven't done a test for it though, unlike English. Might in the distant future, but I don't really see a need to.

🇳🇴 Norwegian: A2-B1 I'd say? The main language I'm learning. I'm studying bokmål Norwegian, so that's how I write, but speaking is a mixture of bokmål and whatever form of nynorsk that my family speaks.

🇯🇵 Japanese: A0. I can read kana, for the most part. Barely understand any Kanji. I'm hoping to advance my level this year, though I gotta make a plan for how I'm gonna study Japanese. I don't know how to study.

Other languages: I'm not really trying to dive into any other languages right now. I'm a high school student, and my plate is already full as it is. I can understand a bit of French, since I studied it in school for 3 years. If I were to study another language, I'd... honestly struggle choosing which one. There's too many that seem so interesting to learn.

The blog:

I don't really have much experience in langblr. I follow a few langblrs, but that's it. So I don't really know what to post. Don't expect consistency from me.

I might post some multilingual shenanigans of mine, like voice acting in other languages I guess? Or that one time I decided to sing "We Don't Talk About Bruno", but each character was a different language. Random stuff like that.

I was also considering doing a weekly or monthly recap of what I've done for Norwegian and Japanese, just to see my progress. Also a plan of what to study, otherwise I'm running around like a headless chicken.

This is all hypothetical. I'll probably update this in the future, depending on how this blog goes. Who knows?

Anyways, with that out of the way (and considering how late it is for me right now), that's that for this introductory post. I'm not really sure how to end this, so...

Ha det!

[gangrapesoda]

norwegian is technically my first, second and third language, so ig that makes english my fourth
