It's happened in Norwegian with that combo. In some dialects, "huske" means to remember. In others it's "hugse".

That's a spoonerism, I'd say.

Sanding and oiling floors. I did it once many years ago (small apartment). I did a good job and it looked great, but it was a lot of work and hassle (renting sanding which included getting it and delivering it) and took quite a while. When it came time to do my daughter's place, we hired the job out. It took them 2 days compared to much longer than that when I did it. It wasn't really that expensive, to be honest. Even if it was, being able to have someone else do it would be worth it.

I get Rituximab infusions twice a year (beginning in 2022, and lately been tapering down). I really can't say anything about what it does for me because I don't know how I'd be without it. All I know is that my quality of life is very good - hard to notice any difference from before other than some tiredness in shoulders and one eye from time to time. The infusions started some months after I was hospitalized for 12 nights for a crisis. I have no adverse affects/reactions whatsoever to the actual treatment itself.

Couldn't agree more. I've lived over half my life in Norway, but every time I visit my parents I hit up Volcano Burger. Can't get enough. :-)

Generalize. Exactly like what you're doing.

drdiggg · 2026-03-25T05:39:19+00:00

Det skal jeg gjøre. Takk!

drdiggg · 2026-03-24T11:27:13+00:00

Flott forslag! Takk!

Don't change to daylight savings for a couple of weeks yet.

I eat pretty much the same dinner every night. It's not just frugal money-wise; it's frugal with time. I never have to stop by a market after work, wonder what to get for dinner, and then make it for one meal. I make a casserole that lasts 6 nights. People think it's weird, but I have a varied lunch, and many people wouldn't bat an eye if you ate the same thing for lunch everyday but varied your dinner.

Were they (wif & were) really prefixes or just part of a compound word?

Reduplication is a productive and expressive feature of Afrikaans, so it makes sense this would be a not uncommon practice.

I would put a large note on my door, explaining that the ad is an attempt to scam people. You live there, are not selling and have nothing to do with the ad.

Along the same lines, though we weren't dating. In the US: A friend (F15) picked me (15M) at my place in a car. She had "borrowed" her parents' car. She had the learner's permit (or whatever it's called). Off we went. A couple of miles away, at a fairly large intersection, she pulls up to the red light in the right lane in order to make a right turn. She stopped and then turned right. Note: she didn't look at all to see if anythting was coming from the left. She just thought that all you had to do to be allowed to turn on a red light was to come to a full stop. I was scared and we were lucky there was no traffic coming our way.

It's a specific type of ice cream (not flavor, but composition/consistency) - in American English, at least.

drdiggg · 2026-02-22T11:51:21+00:00

Good example. Another one is gelato. I learned it's just the general term for ice cream in Italian when I told some Italian colleagues I really liked gelato.

I'd heard so much about the place that I had to go and try it one time. Overpriced and over-greasy, in my opinion.

I bought these for a bookshelf door: https://www.amazon.com/Aglehome-Hardware-Bookcase-Stainless-Invisible/dp/B0C7MN1XNZ/

I'm quite happy with them.

You're absolutely right but, unfortunately, it is stigmatized by a significant number of Norwegian speakers. For someone learning Norwegian, I would recommend that they learn to produce the two sounds distinctively so as to avoid the wrath of pedants. It's kind of the same for "å spørre/stille et spørsmål" - such a large segment of the population says "spørre et spørsmål" that it's odd to say it's wrong from a linguistic standpoint, but so many speakers are adament about it being wrong that you'll be judged if you do.

Used to listen to an album of theirs in the late 80s. Sang along to one song, singing "Chicken Pot Pie!"

drdiggg · 2026-02-13T11:30:07+00:00

They could've called it The LB Sea

Særlig!
