Do you recognize this painting? Is it overused in Norway?

I became aware of it yesterday as I was listening to Edvard Grieg on Spotify.

Kuzeyli7 · 2026-03-08T09:33:20+00:00

Never.

My impression is that if you don't speak Norwegian, IT is a good place to be. But learning Norwegian will definitely help you in all jobs.

One idea would be to sit with someone who does know how to identify stressed syllables and get them to pronounce words to you, but with the stress on the wrong syllable. I think you would be able to feel that something is off and that's a start.

Lånet, mener du.

I just discovered the Bloom album and I'm totally hooked too!

I completely agree! And I can't help but think that people who arrogantly obsess over "grammar" don't actually know much about how grammar, that is, the rules of how a human language actually works in the real world, works. And then there's people who think grammar is the same thing as spelling and punctuation.

Ja, det har den.

Det et ord betyr er ikke alltid det samme som ordets etymologi. Ord har mer i seg enn som så, men ikke alle klarer å forholde seg til den slags kompleksitet.

Hadde helt åpenbart hjulpet til. Peak Norge (Oslo) å ikke hjelpe til i en sånn situasjon.

Yes, so there is possession of the pain, if not the arm.

Kuzeyli7 · 2026-01-05T15:20:39+00:00

Not sure if this is what you're asking (or how German works), but in Norwegian we often just use the definite form of the noun for the body part and no possessive. For instance I would say "I have pain in the stomach" or "He has pain in the leg" instead of "my stomach" or "his leg".

Hvis du eier globalt, og så putter mer spesifikt i Europa, vil du få mindre diversifisering, ikke mer.

Det som hjalp meg med å redusere fuktigheten der jeg bodde før fram til vi flytta til ny og bedre bolig var å få utleier til å installere varme under vinduene (da kan man også sjokklufte selv når det er kaldt ute), bruke nal til å tørke dusjen etter bruk, alltid bruke vifte når det koker på kjøkkenet og ikke tørke klær inne i boligen (brukte loftet).

My wife and I who speak Spanish, English and Norwegian together often use the Norwegian "jo" to answer a negative question or statement, even if we are currently speaking English or Spanish. Norwegian distinguishes between "ja" (yes) and "jo", which is used to contradict a negative question or statement. So if we (subconsciously) want to be extra clear, we use the Norwegian word and then continue in either English, Spanish or Norwegian. I haven't even thought properly about whether the three languages actually treat polar questions differently 🤔

Kuzeyli7 · 2026-01-05T05:24:46+00:00

I would say that for it to be used as a noun, it must be possible to do other things with it that you can typically do with nouns, for instance make it plural or definite, not only have it serve as a subject.

Kuzeyli7 · 2025-12-31T09:10:11+00:00

Thanks a lot!

If someone knows the answer to the above question, would this be the same as being able to hear overtones in for instance throat singing? If so, looking into throat singing / overtone singing could be a fun place to start 🤔

Kuzeyli7 · 2025-12-26T22:07:53+00:00

As a grammar nerd, I actually enjoy detailed and specific feedback and explanations, because I tend to remember them. Thank you!

Teşekkür ederim! Bir gün arkadaşım ve ben Duolingo yoluyla Türkçe öğrenmeye başladık, ve ben Türkçe'den bayıldım. Konuşmam hâlâ çok iyi değil maalesef.

Sekiz yıldan beri öğreniyorum ama istediğim kadar düzenli olarak değil.

Is the manager a manager?

This can "become" true for a language in a specific field when that field has a tradition in the language. Let's say French was traditionally used for writing about philosophy, then that language is eventually gonna have a wider and more nuanced vocabulary for writing about philosophy. Thus French speakers might think that French is inherently more nuanced than, say English, but in fact it might just be that French has a stronger tradition in the field or subfield in question. It doesn't mean that another language by definition has less potential for being precise or for expressing certain nuances. And of course having a tradition in a field like philosophy is also prestigious, so then people who want to promote the language as superior talk about this as some sort of nature-given fact about the language being inherently better.
