That they use De in a course from the 1950's is perfectly normal, but I agree that a new or updated course should take such language developments into accout. If a learner of Norwegian would say De to me, I would just assume that he does not realise that Norwegians don't use that form any more, so I would most likely tell him that it sounds strange and "archaic". I certainly would not be offended. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Today I could do five beginner's challenges for the Viking team! I'm glad I found time. I
figured out it was pushing too much if I sticked to my schedule on a Sunday, and I decided I'd do extra activities I don't normally have time for, like watching TV series and doing the challenges. Btw, I also heard some Norwegian at a Skype session with Cristina, Jack and tarvos, and it is not difficult to understand the words! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I've joined a Norwegian Skype Chat but people don't write bokmaal there at all! I hope I
can find some Norwegians and voice talk with them, because otherwise the text chat is pretty much useless, it confuses me more than it helps me at this stage. People seem to love writing everything from Norwegian dialects to nynorsk to other Scandinavian languages, but bokmaal. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's weird, considering that about 2 million Norwegians speak something that can be
represented rather well with Bokmål. Are you sure they're not just awful at writing? Some people can't spell decently even if their lives depended on it. There are some people who write in their dialect, some people from Trøndelag throws in a bunch of /j/s and /i/s to denote pallatalisation, which is a bit pointless in my opinion. What kind of skype chat was it? Have you considered forums? For instance diskusjon.no has discussions on a range of topics, and most people write bokmål, and writing in dialect seems to be a bit frowned upon there; a bit like using txt spk on an English language forum. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know that I would consider this pointless. You can, after all, understand it, can't you? I mean, if you recognize that it's different and can still understand it, it's just more exposure to the language, which happens to include these differences. At least in my experience, seeing these differences is an every day thing when it comes to chat, or Lang-8, for that matter. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I also know where to place the palatalisations anyway, and it varies from person to person; the numbers of j's and i's also seems to be opposite proportional to how well educated that individual is - ok not exactly, but... It is also very irregular, and varies a lot. I can recall that it was much more common a few years ago, though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

At the chat there's everything: those people who add j's to denote palatalization, those
who write nynorsk, those who write dialect...everything but bokmaal. I know exposure will help me understand, henry, but it's not something you need high exposure for, it's similar, after all. OTOH, it does confuse me when it comes to remember the proper spelling of new words I come across. As I said, there's NO bokmaal at all. Only recent learnera use bokmaal spelling. 1 person has voted this message useful |
