No idea what that game is, but you're right about the dialects. And try as they may not to speak in dialect, they're incapable of breaking out of it. The pronounciation is so heavy that when you hear a guy from Trøndelag (ie. the region encircling Trondheim) speak clean bokmål, it sounds so fake and wrong that noone would ever believe that he's from there. It's largely because their idea of what "posh Norwegian" sounds like is all wrong as well.

It is the other way around here. No one can immitate the skåne dialect and they cannot break out from it.

føtter is feet, fetter is cousin. and what the hell is spise?

Oh righ, but it sounds so similar. In Swedish it's just kusin. Spise is Norwegian for eating Why, what do you say?

 

[JCK]

Isn't spise eating? I think I understood it this way. Spis is oven in Swedish.

Erm, that's what I said basically.

Yes, I do know what it means in Norwegian. What does it mean in Swedish?

fetter = cousin m.
kusine = cousin f.

Oh, for a second there I thought you had another word for it in your dialect.

Spise sounds just like Spis in Swedish, which is oven.

We use kusin for both male and female.

I do not speak in dialect, just so we're clear on that.

 

[JCK]

But you said that the dialect around Trondheim is the bokmål, skånska does not sound like Swedish at all.

OK, but FYI, your norwegian is alot different and harder to understand from that of my cousin who lives in Oslo. I dono why :confusing:

Skånska is not easy on the ears

Nono, bokmål is the proper language, ie. exactly the way that it's written. Few people speak exactly that way, because you'll have some degree of slang developing everywhere. But generally Oslo is where people "speak bokmål". Now, heading in all 3 directions, you will have deviations, some very serious. Trondheim is terrible, the dialect is buttugly. Some dialects are less revolting, but there's nowhere in the country you will find people speaking bokmål unless they're from Oslo or they've spent some amount of time in Oslo at some point.

erm, what? When have you heard me speak Norwegian? Or even write for that matter?

 

[JCK]

Skånska is not easy on the ears

Only when Svenska Akademien and Timbuktu sing it

We had a chat in Norwegian-Swedish a few months back...I think you were leaving for Torino at the time.

Wasn't that just a couple of phrases? Anyway, I neither speak nor write in dialect, so I doubt that had anything to do with it. I do use slang sometimes.

 

[JCK]

I understand Martin's Norweigian more than Elin's. She comes from Träna by the way. Have you been there, Martin? I am seriously thinkinh on going for a vacation, lovely island.

I have no idea where that is.

It must have been the slang that threw me off then. It's already so difficult to understand you guys, the slang makes it impossible.

btw, true funny story. I was about 11 or so, on a visit to Oslo. I was standing outside my cousins house as this trucker pulls in, and asks me in crazy fast Norwegian if I enjoyed playing in the sandbox because he had just put in new sand. I didn't understand a single word he said, all I kept saying was, "Va?!" So my cousin walks out and explains to him that I'm from Sweden, to which he gives me a disgusting look and says "Jevle Svensker!"



I'll always remember that.

A place where they had sunshine at 3 am last week

That must have been traumatic for you since you still remember it.
