During my hospitalization i was bored. And i talked to myself during isolation and i had many good laughs about the language in Norway and in America. It is in Norway saied that Leiv Eriksson was the first man that discovered America. He was a Viking in the 1000 century. He lived from c 970 - c 1020. He discovered the north of America nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus. I speak fluent english and american. I am a bit out of practise, but i stayed in the room translating words from american to norwegian. I am from the west coast of Norway called : " Sunnmøre ". And we have a special dialect that many words is simmilar to american but means other things. Here are some words :
He = when we laugh in our dialect we say ; hi, hi ... spelled just the same as he.
Life = " Leif " a male name in Norwegian just like Leiv Ericson
Bed = Bed is the word we use for the place in the garden you make for the flowers.
Ho, ho = Like the Santa Claus say in American is in mine dialect just the same word " Ho " wich means she.
Car = " Kar " is dialect here from where i am from and is the meaning of a tray for example a washing tray.
Car = " Kar " we also use it on a very good male. Like " He " in american
Love = " Låve " it means a barn in our dialect.
Gift = Gift means marriage here in Norway.
Singer = We have a brand here in Norway called " Singer " and it is a sewing machine.
Have a good laugh. There is even more words but i cant write all down now. But it had been funny to hear how many american words an american could find in our dialect. I figured out that there had to be a lot of Norwegians in the USA.
