I had almost forgotten about this!
Now I have a closer look at this, it's easy ! Quote:

Thanks!
This time I'll try my hand at Norwegian (I hope it's not too short): Quote:

Hm... I can understand a bit of Swedish, and one or two words there look familiar. Hm... Especially "frokost"...
I shall have to think.

Do you need a hint?
"seng" means bed

Well Danish and Norwegian are around 95 % the same. . .
"Hey _______ !" (.....) " So you are also on this little trip? Where do we get a bed and lunch?" That is a more or less direct translation, but I don't remember it from the books. |

Well, obviously, the hint wasn't necessary for you, Rune!
You still have to find the speaker and the situation , though; and the words aren't 100% exact. ( "frokost" is breakfast, and not lunch, or is that different in Denmark ?!)

'Hullo Pippin! he said. So you've come on this little expedition too? Where do we get bed and breakfast?'
Merry to Pippin in book 3 "the uruk-hai" Frokost means lunch in Danish, but breakfast in Norwegian . . .I forgot I think we got the word from German "Frühstück" (or something like that) and then we Danes mixed it up and thought it meant lunch, instead of breakfast. I knew I had to get the whole thing. . . but I thought I would post it and give somebody else a chance to guess it. Last edited by Rune Son of Bjarne; 09-02-2006 at 02:07 PM. |
