mmm i have a question. In general. Does Norwegians understand Swedish better than Swedish understand Norwegian?

Opinions?

+ one thing, does anybody want to be on the scandinavian team list?

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 01:01 PM

I have no problem undrstanding norwegien... or danish for that matter

You can put me on the list

Isley · 10-14-2005, 01:30 PM

Det er bra

Du er på listen

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 01:34 PM

yay, tack så mycket

Isley · 10-14-2005, 04:34 PM

hehe bare hyggelig

I understand danish kinda.. im not very good at understanding what theyre speaking but the danish words i totally understand its almost like norwegian. Norwegian was buildt up by danish..most of it.

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 04:39 PM

well I live about 20 min away from denmark so I´m there quite often and that´s why `can understand it... and plus we have danish channels on TV

I think norwegian kinda is a mix between danish and swedish, mostly danish though

B.Davis · 10-14-2005, 04:57 PM

put me on the list sweetie

of course ! hehe

Liz I hate it when people do that like always use one name. And I believe Josefina is more swedish and emelie < love that name when a swedish person says it!

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 05:49 PM

yeah, and Emma and Anna are way more swedish then Olga, Helga and Inga...

B.Davis · 10-14-2005, 05:53 PM

its all ridicilous.. I cant remember anyone actually mentioning any norwegian names.. I only remember this funny thing.

man: how about the countries where woman eat bugs from the floor.
Lisa: There isnt a country like that.
man: ever been to Norway?
Lisa: no..
man: then thats what they do in Norway!

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 06:03 PM

haha, I think sweden has been mentioned in the simpsons too, but mostly pics...

I found these convos

Homer: "Can I fight human style? By slowly poisoning his environment until he loses his fur and becomes sterile?"
Farfar: "You cowardly swede! You face that bear like a man or I'll never speak to you again!"

Lisa: "Look, in the Swedish public schools, students grade teachers on their performance

Farfar: "The Swedish are coming! The Swedish are coming!"
Marge: "Oh lord. Why do they keep changing his medication?"

Marge: "I'll be right back."
Farfar: "They got lingonberries!"

Marge: "Homer, why are you laughing?"
Kidnappare: "He has the Stockholm syndrome. He has come to identify with his captors."
Homer: "They let me stay up all night."
Marge: "Well you won't be doing that at home."

Grandpa: "Three wars back we called sauercraut liberty cabbage, and we called liberty cabbage superslaw. And back then a suitcase was known as a Swedish lunchbox. Of course nobody knew that but me."

Marge: "Ok, we've got cocktail weenies and Swedish meatballs."

Marge: "Maybe we could see something a little more adult?"
Homer: "Why Marge, you frisky little devil. We'll take two tickets to The Stockholm Affair."
Marge: "Ooh, the paper called it a top political thriller."
Homer: "Political? Oohhh...."

Marge: "Well, come on you two. Don't forget about the film festival!"
Bart: "The what?"
Homer: "Sorry. Bart, your mother bought us tickets to some snooty movie directed by some Swedish meatball."
Bart: "Oh no."

Marge: "You brought food."
Selma: "Just a few things. Swedish meatballs."
Patty: "Mm-mmh."

Cosell: "The American, Drederick Tatum does a triumphant turkey trot over the supine Swede."

"Don't worry, Marge. America's health care system is second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, well, all of Europe, but you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!"

"C'mon, honey! It'll only be until we finish our tour of Sweden."

Moe: "Another Duff Homer?"
Homer: "Naah... it's Friday night, Moe. I want to try something special."
Moe: "Ah sure sure. Here you go. Düff, from Sweden. Hehe."
Homer: "Skoal! Wait a minute, this is Duff!"

wow, that´s alot

B.Davis · 10-14-2005, 06:07 PM

I love it when they mention countries near me! I get this national feeling! lol

*Liz* · 10-14-2005, 06:14 PM

Here´s the pics

Isley · 10-15-2005, 01:29 PM

ahaha!! Liz, I'll put you on the list

is it okay if a type Lizzie, so we don't have all this confusion?

Liz(_86) I understand. I understand swedish better than danish cos we have swedish television channels and hear alot of swedish. So I understand almost everything. I feel like its another version. You get what I mean? Like we have nynorsk(a different version of the standard written norwegian) so were pretty used to different dialects.. Not that I think swedish as a dialect, just that its very similar to norwegian.

The big boobed stereotped swedish women on simpsons.. like I didn't see that coming.. and not all of the swedish are blonde! Its the same with norwegians!

B.Davis · 10-15-2005, 01:32 PM

yes of course Maddy

Isley · 10-15-2005, 01:44 PM
