The world "korp" is also used in Norwegian, most often in dialects, but are sometimes used in Bokmål and Nynorsk also. Edited by Aquila123 on 08 March 2014 at 1:38am 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I've never heard the word innsalg before... And based on that definition, it sounds like that's the kind of word you would only ever come across if you have a very specific job. A perfect example of a word that Norwegian learners can safely ignore. No one will ever think it's weird that you don't know this... (I've never heard the word korp either...)

The word innsalg is used in certain business circles. It most often means to get a permanent relation to a potential customer or market so that he/they will buy repitively from you.
You may also hear the verbal expressions "innselge" or "selge seg inn". 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Sorry, but some words are untranslatable for me, I have no idea what this is called even in German ;) Definitions have to suffice... By the way, I've encountered the word in this article:
I'm still not 100% sure I understand it right. Edited by daegga on 21 March 2014 at 9:21pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's not just about providing a translation, it's about posting walls of L2. It's certainly okay not to translate but there still has to be some sort of explanation in English.

To understand the word "innsalg" properly, you must know something about the context. It means to establish some kind of realationship that later can be exploited, but the exact kind of realtionship depends on the wider context.
--------------------------------------------- The word "utsalg" is more frequent, and it has two basic meanings: 1 - To offer a large inventory of some merchanise to the market during a short time. usually for a reduced prize. 2 - A store or place that specializes in selling only one or a narrow group of mechandises, usuallly in large quanta for reduced prizes. Examples: ølutsalg - a store specializing in beer bilettutsalg - ticket shop The expressions "utselge" or "selge ut", mean to sell all the inventory you have of some merchandise, so that you are empty, regardless of prize or amount, so the meaning of these verbs are not equivalent to the meaning of the noun "utsalg". Most often you will encounter the participle "utsolgt" = sold out. Edited by Aquila123 on 22 March 2014 at 2:12pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
