Learning Swedish

[Dave Barker]

Very interesting indeed. I can see it is a formidable language to learn. On the other hand, the similarities of many words to English (and particularly older Scots words) is enticing.

I love the online useful phrases - how about this one?

Sola har ikke vist seg siden midt i november.

"The sun has not appeared since the middle of November."

literally the sun has not shown self since mid november!

Well Dave I'm just basing it on my own experience :?: I've not had problems like you said

lucky git ):

i struggled to get beer for the first 2 months

Bruce Natt means just NIGHT and til radka sounds like a dedication To radka ( a name)

hope that helps

"Kan jeg få et glass øl?" I would say, and then get gabbled at in noggy, sometimes it's easier just to speak english :roll:

of course if you want to learn Old Norse go up in to the Northern Dales - the top end of Swaledale, Teesdale & Weardale way up in the Pennines. Plus bits of Northumberland.

You don't 'arf pay for it though :shock:

How much is a beer in Norway/Sweden these days?

I suppose Ol (how do you get the nordic letters BTW?) has the same origin as our word 'ale'.

I have a Norwegian keyboard. We spend roughly 55 NOK on some Pils.

What's the exchange rate with the Norwegian Kroner?

I heard a story recently about someone over in Norway from the UK on a business trip. Lacking local currency he visited a cash machine. By mistake he took out the equivalent of £2000 because he hadn't checked the exchange rate first! ): :Crazy_071

Is it around 10 NOK to the Pound?

Best wishes

Bruce

£1 is about 13 SEK and the NOK is a bout the same.

 

[hootchi]

55 NOK is £4.51.
