There's a new guy working at one of the local stores

He isn't Norwegian, but he's trying his best to speak the language.

I love it when he tells his customers "Bye. Have a day"

He's saying what we all want to say without being mean 🤣

Now I'm confused. Is he speaking Norwegian or English?

@ninalanyon he's trying to speak Norwegian, but I translated what he says into english

@LordBarbossa So he says "Ha en dag" instead of "Ha det"?

@ninalanyon He says "ha en dag" instead of "ha en god/fin dag"

@LordBarbossa "Ha en god dag." isn't very common where I live but it is definitely used more now than it was forty years ago. Seems like creeping Americanisation to me when shop assistants say it.

@ninalanyon it's relatively common around here.
