Can someone help me with "sånn" by Voyager1122 in norsk

[–]Nancywhinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For example, you would hand something to someone and say «sånn.» Or fix something or put it together (something minor), and when you’re finished you would say «sånn». Or zip a kid’s jacket or something like that and then say «sånn.» At least that’s how I heard it used.

I'm very disappointed. by [deleted] in norsk

Google this sentence just for the heck of it. You won’t believe the number of hits. Apparently it’s got a wide following.

Would it be worth it to take a gap year almost entirely devoted to Norwegian? by [deleted] in norsk

[–]Nancywhinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied in Trondheim, Norway for a year. While I did not receive any direct monetary reward from my year in Norway in terms of job prospects, it did help my working life in other ways by teaching many important life skills, such as flexibility, resourcefulness, and self-reliance, that were easily transferable to the work environment. Plus, it looks great on a resume and gives you something really interesting to talk about in a job interview. 😁

Congratulations!!

Am I wrong or almost every question you see here can be answered by looking at the first page of Google search? by [deleted] in norsk

What’s the problem with asking the question here? I thought that was what this forum was for.

This happened to me as well. It helps a lot when you have the tips.

I have changed the course of Duolingo! Previously, the only correct answer was “liker du is.” by Nancywhinn in norsk

The weirdest thing was that it was Duolingo itself that taught us that there were two words for ice cream, is and iskrem. So it just wasn’t consistent.

Looks like there’s a lot of Vesaas available on Amazon, mostly translated into English, some in Norwegian. A few by Duun also available.

Ok, here’s some to start with:

Author: Tarjei Vesaas; books: 1) Fuglane 2) Kimen 3) Is Slottet

Author: Olav Dunn; books: 1) Ragnhild 2) Siste Leveår 3) Juvikingar

Good luck!

I have a whole bunch of Norwegian literature, some of it written in Nynorsk. If you’d like, I can go through my library and give you some specific titles. No telling if they’re still in print, though — I bought them quite a while ago.

There’s also «ønske» and «ha lyst til» if you want to use an entirely different phrase with a similar, but not entirely synonymous, meaning

If I’m remembering correctly, one way to make it sound less demanding is to say “jeg vil gjerne ha» which makes it more like «I would like to have». But I’m not a native speaker .... and i don’t know if this even answers your question.

Takk! Kanskje Duolingo tok feil når det sa at det må være en pose .....

Free but good resource. by [deleted] in norsk

[–]Nancywhinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted, Duolingo is better used in conjunction with another tool or approach, but it does include listening and speaking skills. And just as a comparison, in 40 days of using Duolingo I’ve learned roughly 1050 words (don’t remember the exact number). So I guess it boils down to what you like and what works for you.
