Norwegian classes
Listen up, kids! It's Norwegian-time! Your teachers are Tapion and Aslask. We know Norwegian (Duh) and English, so we are probably best suited for this task.

This thread made much more sense in my head.

Anyway.

The Norwegian alphabet is as following:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Æ Ø Å

You know the letters. Probably not the last three. Let's look on how they're pronounced.

Æ is a thick sound, combining A and E. When you say bad or sad, you got the sound. Æ.

Ø is a tricky one to explain. Surgery is the closest I get to the pronouncement.

Å is quite easy. It is simply pronounced like "Awe".

When to use these, you ask? Whenever they fit it. They're just letters.


Now, let's get on to sentences. I'll write them in English, Norwegian, and for MS Sam


E: Get out of the car! It's mine now!

N: Ha deg ut av bilen. Den er min nå.

SAM: Hah daeh oot ahv beelin. Dan ahr meen naw

E: Grandmother has toe cancer.


N: Bestemor har tåkreft


SAM: Baestemoor hahr tawcraft.

E: Look at that silly turkey.


N: Se på den dumme kalkunen


SAM: Sae paw daen dommeh calcoonin.


There we have some examples. Please request sentences to be translated and said by our genius Sam.

Any further questions? We need questions to go on. Sprooj probably wants songs about fjords and elks and trolls.

Yeah, we have fjords and elks and trolls.

Anyway. Questions about Norwegian, and we will teach you for faen.

One more thing you should know about the alphabet.

If you guys are to write Æ, Ø and Å you can't really write it with those letters.

But here's how you write it, the english way. They are combined two and two letters.

Starting:

Æ = AE

Ø = OE

Å = AA

I did not want it, I just like it when you sing about elk and trolls in the fjords.

Sprooj said in IRC that he wanted "Take on me - A-ha" translated and here I did. There may be something I translated the wrong way, but this is my translation.

English | Norwegian
Talking away | Snakker i vei
I don't know what I'm to say | Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal si
I'll say it anyway | Jeg sier det uansett
today's another day to find you | I dag er en annen dag å finne deg
Shying away | Sjenerer bort
I'll be coming for you love O.K | Jeg skal komme for deg kjære OK

Take on me | Ta på meg
Take me on | Ta meg med
I'll be gone | Jeg blir borte
in a day or two | om en dag eller to

So needless to say I'm odds and ends | så unødvendig å si jeg sjangser og ender
But that's me, stumbling away | Men det er meg, snubler avgårde
Slowly learning that life is O.K. | Sakte lærer jeg at livet er Ok
Say after me | Si det etter meg
It's no better to be safe than sorry. | Det er ikke bedre å være føre var

Take on me | Ta på meg
Take me on | Ta meg med
I'll be gone | Jeg blir borte
in a day or two | om en dag eller to

The things that you say | Tingene du sier
Is it live or just to play | Er det levende eller bare et spill
My worries away | Mine bekymringer er borte
You're all the things I've got to remember | Du er alt jeg har å huske
You shying away | Du sjenerer bort
I'll be coming for you anyway | Jeg kommer for deg uansett

Take on me | Ta på meg
Take me on | Ta meg med
I'll be gone | Jeg blir borte
in a day or two | for en dag eller to

This is interesting...
Perhaps better classes would include the basic pronouns and some verbs?
that would be nice :P
nice idea.

We will get to that I guess.
Just hang in there.
