Norwegian isn't confusing at all

Just because "stol på meg" can both mean "trust me" or "chair on me" 😇

Trust me with a chair on me?

@Degbeme we have the standard dad joke of someone saying "stol på meg" only to have a male literally putting a chair on the person.

@LordBarbossa Wish we had something like that
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Degbeme I'm sure every language has dad jokes that can't be translated.


Btw, we also have the word "skål" which means "cheers" but if you put the word kne (knee) infront of it, you get "kneskål" meaning knee cap. So we often boink our drinks against peoples knee caps and say "kneskål" which can mean knee cheers and/or knee cap

@LordBarbossa Now that is cool.

@Degbeme everyone acts as if it's the first time they heard that joke every time 😅 I guess it's just part of being norwegian

@LordBarbossa When I was a small boy, I had a huge fascination with Norway.

@Degbeme You still should. We're awesome.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LordBarbossa I still do.
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Degbeme good ☺ Have you ever visited us?
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LordBarbossa No I haven`t and probably won`t now. 😟
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Degbeme it's not too late tho.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LordBarbossa I think it is, I couldn`t get on a plane. I`m super claustrophobic.
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Degbeme oh, I see. That's unfortunate 🥺
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LordBarbossa Should have done it when I was much younger
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Degbeme maybe you could sail here somehow? I'm not sure if that's possible. Might still be too claustrophobic tho
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@LordBarbossa Yeah probably.
