Jag vill inte bo här eftersom det är tråkigt. ("det" is neuter, and that makes the ending neuter as well, cf. "den är tråkig" - no -t)
Om du måste gå till skolan eller om du vill gå ut med vänner måste du åka till en stad 10 kilometer [från här]/härifrån eftersom det är tråkigt här. (definite form for "till skolan";unnatural expression;neuter ending) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Anyone doing Norwegian for the 6 week challenge? It is a great way to improve your language skills!

I'll be doing Swedish :). Anyone joining me? It's really worth it! When I get somewhere close to B1, I might do Norwegian at some point (just so you know, because of you all it's pretty clear I'm going to start learning Norwegian sooner that I thought. Too much temptation, I dare say). And a general message: I'm having a strong case of my life interfering with my language and Internet activities at the moment, I should get more active sometime in the beginning of February. Sorry for my absence in the team! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Ha ha, I love the Yoda rule!!! It makes perfect sense when you think about it.
Cristina, thanks, as always, for the helpful corrections on my log. I'll try and get to the next challenges this weekend if I have time. Oh yeah! My find of the week has been klar tale http://www.klartale.no/ . It has very "simple" news in Norwegian. There is also a biweekly podcast and a setting where you can have the site "read" the news for you. I have a feeling I will be wasting a lot of time with klar tale! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I was thinking about doing it so I might join you! It seems interesting enough and everything that motivates me to learn more is always worth trying. Mini Viking-Challenge #5 Which languages do you speak? How well do you speak them? Where did you learn them? Jag talar flytande holländska eftersom det är mitt modersmål. Jag talar engelska också, jag har lärt mig engelska på nätet genom dataspel och när jag var i England genom min skola. Jag lär mig svenska nu och jag är inte så bra ännu, men jag lär mig mycket varje dag. I'm still on track doing atleast 1 challenge every 2 weeks ^^ 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've just subscribed to other vikings' logs. I can't believe I hadn't done this yet!
I think it's a good idea to add the link to the wordpress blog and the challenges at the first post. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Challenges - Norwegian (please correct):
1. Write five sentences introducing yourself Hallo! Jeg heter Expug. Jeg bor i Brasil og er tjueåtte år gammel. Jeg har alltid en god tid når jeg studerer fremmedspråk. Jeg liker å lese bøker men ikke så mye aviser og magasiner. Jeg går på helsetudio hver dag om morgenen og jeg arbeider om ettermidagen. 2. Write three sentences about who you have in your family Jeg bor ikke sammen med familien min. De bor i Bahia og jeg bor i Minas Gerais. Faren, moren og yngre bror bor sammen, men min eldre søster er gift og bor med hennes mann og min nevø. 3. Describe a friend in six sentences. What does she/he look like? What is she/he like as a person? Dette venn av meg er to år yngre enn meg. Vi arbeidet i samme selskapet, men ikke lenger nå. Han er ikke så høy og bare litt overvektig. Han bruker briller (slik som jeg, selv om jeg vanligvis bruker kontaktlinser i dag). Han liker å drikke øl. Han bor med moren hans. 4. Give a five-sentence long description of the town or city you live in. Jeg bor i en stor by. Sin metro området har så mange innbyggere som Norge :D Byen er omgitt av høye fjell. Det ligger fjernt fra havet. Innbyggere dens savner havet helt år. 5. Which languages do you speak? How well do you speak them? Where did you learn them? Jeg snakker portugiesisk som er mitt morsmål. Jeg kan også noe engelsk, fransk og forstår litt spansk. Jeg lærte spansk og engelsk på språkskolen og fransk lærte jeg selv.

1 - I Sverige kallas många Johansson eller Andersson i efternamn. 2 - Till frukost dricker jag mjölk med kaffe. 3 - På svenska heter “table” “bord”. 4 - I Schweiz talar man tyska, franska och italienska. 5 - Med flygplanet är vi framme i Stockholm om två timmar. 6 - Igår firade Lisa sin födelsedag. 7 - Boken som du behöver får du låna från biblioteket. 8 - I tidningen står det att fyra människor skadades vid trafikolyckan. 9 - När jag är trött tittar jag gärna på teve. 10 - Om du vill kan du följa med. Corrections and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Just like in German, the rule of V2 works also when the main sentence is preceded by a subordinate clause, as I tried to show in the last examples. -- Speaking of this V2 rule, can any native or advanced speaker of Swedish try to explain to me why in this sentence the rule wasn’t followed and we have S+V even though the sentence starts with a time adverb? I found this sentence in the textbook I’m currently using:
The context: a couple is expecting a baby. The previous night they had an argument and they haven’t spoken since. Now she’s in labour and calls him on the phone, so that he can take her to the hospital and be with her when their baby is born. Tack för hjälpen! 1 person has voted this message useful |
