I Danmark har vi morgenmad, der spises om morgenen. Og så er der brunch, som nogle spiser om formiddagen. Derefter en gang middagsmad, der er varm mad, eller .. (oh, I just realized that this thread is written in English, sorry)
In Denmark the eating occasions are labeled as follows: in the morning: morgenmad before noon: brunch noon: middagsmad (hot) or frokost (not hot) late afternoon: aftensmad (sometimes called middagsmad if it is hot) late evening/night: natmad And snacks in between the meals: "mellemmåltider" 6 minutes about "dyrlægens natmad" here (dyrlæge: veterinarian) Edited by Iversen on 06 February 2014 at 4:39pm 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have not heard morgenmat used ever, and formiddagsmat not since I was a little girl (and even then only by a woman who was born around 1900, and would use lunch 9 times out of 10). Nattmat is something I would not hear used more than once every second year or so. Typically if you have a party that reaches into the early hours of the morning, and you serve the main meal around 8, and a hot soup at 2 o'clock in the morning. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

With the food prices in Norway in mind I find it totally natural that you haven't heard the names of half the meals since time immemorial - I also have to stop eating when I'm on holiday in Norway. But given the liquour prices up there I don't understand how you can have parties without taking up a mortgage in your house.

If you stop, what poor Poles (like me) should say? :D
EDIT: I guess that Ylvis should write a new version of their song - "What does poor Pole say?". Edited by prz_ on 07 February 2014 at 1:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Taking up mortgage is exactly what Norwegians do, directly or indirectly, resulting in the Norwegian population sinking steadily more into unmanageable dept. Everything is criminally expensive here' and people's income is not capable of providing both home and living. When I use the word "criminally" I mean it litterally.
The population manages to keep a high living standard by borrowing steadily more money, but this trend will result in total collapse in the Norwegian society before not very soon. By the way, Norwegian: lån (n) - loan or mortgage pengelån (n) - mortgage, used when you will specify only. utlån (n) - something lent out, including money, books, things innlån (n) - a bank term denoting a bank borrowing money from somewhere låne - to borrow and also to land låne bort / låne ut, bortlåne / utlåne - lend, used only to specify låne inn / innlåne - borrow, used seldome and only to specify penge (msg), penger (mpl) - money, most often used in plural In Norwegian, and surely also in Danish and Swedish, you can make compositions rather freely, as the need materializes, so you could hear many other combinations too with the word "lån", made just for the actual need.

In Danish:
udlåne (verb) = låne ud = 'lend' in English udlån (substantive) ... indlån (substantive) låne (verb) = 'borrow' in English lån (substantiv) "Indlån" and "udlån" are almost exclusively used about banks, "lån" can be established by private people, and you can also "låne" books at the library. Instead of *indlåne (which is rare bordering on non existant) we use the expression "sætte penge i banken". However we can "låne fra" anybody - at least in theory. Penge is always singular (except jokingly about foreign coins or bills when we can't remember the correct word) Edited by Iversen on 07 February 2014 at 2:22pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||
