@Ogrim
Thank you for dropping by and for volunteering as “gudfar”. Your help with Norwegian is much appreciated.


By the way, here's a question for you or whoever knows: is "velkommen" in Norwegian and/or Danish singular or plural? "Välkomna" is plural in Swedish and I'm looking for the plural form of "welcome" in the other two languages as well.

"Velkommen" is singular. The plural form is "velkomne" in both Norwegian and Danish.

However, "velkommen" can also be used as a noun "et velkommen". An example would be:
"Han hilste oss med et rungende velkommen" (He greated us with a resounding welcome).

Thanks for the explanation. Then, from what I understand, if you greet a group of people (which is what I’m aiming to in the opening post) you use “velkomne”, am I right?

Not necessarily. If I receive a group of friends arriving at my place, I would just say "Velkommen!" I think in this case gramatically it is an interjection, like "Hello!" in English for instance.

However used in sentence as an adjective, one would use the plural form when referring to more than one person: "Dere er velkomne."

So, let me ask for your advice. In the opening post is it better to use “velkomne” or “velkommen”? Should I keep it as it’s written now or should I change it? From what I gather from your explanation it’s ok as it is, is it?
