Norwegian (ConceptTopic, 5)
From Compile Worlds
Norwegian is the a language spoken in Norway (surprise surprise) and to a lesser extent, the USA. It is a ripoff of Danish because the Danes were being bitchy and decided to take over Norway for like 400 years. Who's laughing now, Denmark?
The "languages"
There are actually 4 forms of Norwegian, only two of which people actually give a rat's ass about. These are Bokmål, Nynorsk, Riksmål, and Høgnorsk. Bokmål is the coolest, and Høgnorsk is a wannabe emofag. Bokmål means "book language" and is spoken by about everyone in Norway, with the exception of those who are tought Nynorsk for an unapparent reason. So basically all you care about is Bokmål. Got it?
Grammar
The Norwegian grammar is stolen from Danish, right down to the bloody indefinite article. Weak verbs have four classes, and you have to guess how to conjugate strong verbs (haha). English grammar is retarded compared to Norwegian grammar. In fact, English can lick Norwegian's sack for all I care.
- The -et class: get a grammar book
- The -te class: read it
- The -dd class: ...
- The -dde class: PROFIT!!
Please note that reading a Norwegian grammar book will NOT help you make money. It will just fill your pathetic, undeserving soul with short lived pride.
