I think thats how its spelt.... heck of a word to spit out for me actually. Tomorrow is Norwegian Day, 17th May, to celebrate Norwegian indepedance. And I've got a Norwegian exam. But afterward, I shall be getting extremely drunk and cheering, and singing "Ja, vi elsker dette land.. " rather loudly and incoherently with all my other Norwegian pals. And booing anyone who brings a Swedish flag. So, in the spirit of me panicking, and tomorrow being Norwegian day, heres a quick guide for non-Norwegians as to how to do Norwegian. Jeg heter... My name is.... Jeg kommer fra USA/ Skottland/Tyskland/ England I come from USA/Scotland/Germany/England Hva heter du? whats your name? Kan jeg faa din telefonnummer? Can I have your telephone number? Kan jeg faa et ol? can I have a beer? Jeg er glad i deg I fancy you Du har vakre oyene/kroppen/haret You have beautiful eyes/body/hair Skal vi danser? shall we dance? Jeg liker Belle and Sebastian I like Belle And Sebastian Jeg misliker Steps I don't like Steps Steps er dritt Steps are sh*te Jeg er full I'm drunk Hvor er vi? Where are we? Du bor her? You live here? Er dette din seng? Is this your bed? Hvor skal jeg sover? Where shall I sleep? Nei, jeg har ingen penger No, I have no money Ja, vaer sa snill Yes please Det var fantastisk! That was fantastic! Tusen takk! Many thanks! Vi snakkes! Speak to you soon! So there you go. Hope that helps if you ever suddenly find yourself stranded in a kiosk in ooh... Trondheim. Hmm. Trying to forget I have an exam tomorrow. Okay, I'm off to try and forget elsewhere. Hugs & stuff for everyone, and "hurrah!"s to the Norwegians bye.
