I’m a native northern Minnesotan Norwegian living in New York City. Last year I found it shocking that I could not find Lefse anywhere in the city - I even consulted the lone Norwegian church in Manhattan. I’m doing something about this this year because I know there must be other people looking for some too.

I’m making the best Lefse in New York City, and let me know if you’d like any! (Courtesy of my grandma’s recipe)

I wondered whether the translation was correct

Hello,

Im looking for a favorite norwegian cookie, candy or food item that I can order as a special gift for my friend who is Norwegian. If it is something I can order then that is great but any suggestions on cakes or cookies that I can bake that is authentically norwegian. Thank you

Why cant i watch norwegian tv channels? I need to prove i live in norway or something like that?

If you speak eastern Norwegian , do you understand northern Norwegian?

For people who speak Eastern Norwegian

Okay, I'm currently in the VERY early stages of learning Norwegian on Duolingo (English is my first language) and I CANNOT wrap my head around one particular concept. What is the difference between words such as katt/katten, far/faren, etc. when do I use which?

It is for Persons who speak Eastern Norwegian.

My grandma has always done this thing with our toes when we were younger. Toe… Toe tilly..Tilly toe..crogmuso, tee po. Just seeing if this a Norwegian thing. Trying to narrow this down

Hello! My wife’s family is partly Norwegian (her great grandmother and grandfather). We found an old card in a box from that side of the family and would like help translating the message on the back. It seems to be from her great grandfather and about his old hometown in Norway. Could anyone help us? We’d love to know what it says. Thank you in advance!

Not that I'd do this, but me and my friend were joking about how a mint brand in our home country (Icebreakers) makes packaging that looks hilariously like how snus usually does, then he asked me what the norwegian word for "to dip" (the american slang for doing snus), I don't actually know this word yet.

Hi, can someone help me understand this sentence?
Stundom er ho faren langt frå her (if context is needed, it's from the song Segla by Kalandra). I understand the sentence except the word 'faren' in the middle - it makes no sense to me!!

I hope some native speaker can help me!

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 21 years old and I am in need of some serious help! I am 21 years old and due to academic ventures I am now in another country. For some reason I will not get in much depth, I have not been declared to inherit my Norwegian nationality. I am over 18 years of age, and due to the lack of organization in papers, my parents and I have now settled down to start looking to apply for the verification of my inheritance of the nationality. My dad is very busy at work a lot of times, and I want to do the most research to basically sit down and look at everything we have to do to give this our best shot and actually have the form processed to receive my nationality.

Are there any procedures I should take in consideration, things I should watch out for in terms of not messing up the documents? Any people I should contact in particular? We are trying to do the procedure as effective and quickly as possible as we are facing other struggles. He is in Norway, and I am able to contact the embassy. What should I do?

Is there any Norwegian YouTuber that I could watch ? I'm trying to learn Norwegian but I don't have that much time so I'd like to have something entertaining that can teach me the language too for when I have a bit of free time. The only thing i did so far is Duolingo lol so I'm still completely new. I particularly wanna watch competitive games I don't really watch Animal Crossing type of games. Please not someone that talks as fast as XQC though 🙏

Når jeg lærer norsk på Duolingo, fant jeg en setning «norsken din er godt!» som jeg synes er rar.

Fordi det ser ut som norsk er en hankjønn substantiv, bør vi bruke «god» for å beskrive norsk? Hvorfor bruker vi godt her?

Samme med engelsk. Men hvis vi sier tysken din er «god».

Kan noe hjelpe å forklare?

Someone posted this picture as a meme on facebook. I am however very curious why it says "er omkommet" instead of "har omkommet".

I'm not a native German speaker but in German one would translate this sentence as "Lammkotelett des Jahres ist umgekommen" instead of "... hat umgekommen" because the root verb -kommen falls under the category of so called 'strong verbs', that is verbs describing significant displacement. These verbs form the perfect tense using the be-verb instead of "haben" as the auxiliary verb in German. But as far as I'm aware this is a grammar feature unique to west germanic languages, or so i thought, until i saw this image. Are there norwegian dialects that also makes distinction between motion verbs and action verbs when forming the perfect tense?

Hi! I'm a linguistics/norwegian student. Currently translating a poem from polish to norwegian for my class and I'm not sure about this one particular word (which I had to basically create from scratch). To the point - is "de <<luftfallsstoppende>> takene" acceptable for native speaker's eyes/ears? :)) Some context: author of the poem uses waterfall -> airfall worldplay which I'm trying to recreate!! Let me know what you think!

Long shot but thought I'd try...

I'm a Canadian traveling to Norway for the first time and planning to go to October. I'm a big fan of Morten Abel and so naturally I thougt I'd check to see if he's touring at that time and he is! This may be my only time ever going to Norway and only chance to see Morten Abel and of course all the tickets are sold out.

I thought I'd try and see if possibly, someone, anyone is selling tickets to any of his shows. I'm very flexible and willing to travel to anyone in Norway to see him.

If anyone can provide me with any help, I'd very very greatly appreciate this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Thanks!

I want to move in norway and get a citizenship to go on the police force path. I have medium-long hair and I have a under ear tatto. Please help.

Just found this postcard in the baseboard of our house. Can anyone here translate for me? I would so appreciate it!

Hello, I (29) am wondering how I should greet a woman(25) I meet for the first time? We know eachother for some months and I will meet her soon. Do I give her a hand? A hug? Advice is much appreciated, thx :)

Hello,

I am preparing a podcast episode about the sinking of the SS Marine Electric in 1983. During the rescue operations, a Norwegian tanker named "Barranger" assisted. How would Barranger be pronounced in Norwegian?

Hey everyone! I am really happy to see you all and I am writing this post with the sole purpose of mixing business with pleasure - finding new friends and practicing the language!

To be frank, I am in love with Norwegian and this was the language that finally got me on my language hunt for the first time in a few years, but well oh well... Not gonna lie, finding people to practice it with has been a bit tedious. Tried Tandem and Slowly for that, it didn't pan out the way I hoped for. So here I am.

About me (in the simplest terms ever): Jeg heter Arsenii. Jeg er fra Ukraina, men jeg bor i Polen. Jeg er tjue år gammel og jeg er en student. Jeg studerer geografi, som er min favorittvitenskap. Jeg liker å alltid lære noe nytt, ha det gøy og møte nye folk! Det er derfor det er så hyggelig å møte deg :)

Looking forward to your message. I bet soon enough my descriptions will be a little bit more correct and more fulfilling, but for now...

Ha det bra!
