The tendency in the Nordic languages is to write in a more straight-forward way and
therefore the need for commas is limited. The problem arises when they write in a more complicated way for stylistic reasons (making it sound older or posh for example) and still avoid all the commas. Jan Guillou is the first author where this bothers me. The overuse of commas in German is also a stylistic problem - if you feel like you need to put a lot of commas into your text (because of the strict rules), you better reformulate, it's probably too complicated. But for older literature, these complex sentences are often seen as a seal of quality however. The most irritating use of commas I've seen was in a book by a Danish amateur writer. There were loads of them, but never where you would expect them (according to the Danish rules). This made reading it quite hard, even though the content was good enough to continue.

Maniac me has read almost 800 pages this week. If I only had the time to always read this much
... well, and then there is this thing with finding interesting material of course, most books just aren't that good. But this was a good week with good books :) Edited by daegga on 13 July 2015 at 12:37am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Impressive! If only I had 800 pages of Norwegian to read =D You could aim for a full Scandinavian super challenge in one month!
Which languages did you read most in? Swedish and Danish? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

How to become a Slovene?
Kako postaneš Slovenec Last week was Swedish only, and generally this is the main Scandinavian language I read in. It's easy to find something interesting, much harder for Danish. Edited by daegga on 14 July 2015 at 12:59am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I need to work on my goal setting. About 3 weeks ago I thought it would be nice to
reach at least 75 books for the Swedish SuperChallenge by the end of the year. I calculated an average of 50 pages per week I'd have to read to reach this. Tough. Today the count is 78 books. Hmm... new goal? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've outsourced the Slovene part to another log: http://how-to-learn-any-language.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=70 4
I'll try to keep this one Scandinavian focused. Otherwise the motto could not be maintained, Slavic languages are quite a fight for the tongue. 1 person has voted this message useful |
