I bet that's where the Beornings come from.

You know, I have trouble pronouncing 'Beornings' without it sounding like 'Björnings'.

Look Eärniel! We combined our two interests into the one thread.

Yeah, I've always thought it was cool to see all the names of Norse Dwarves in Tolkien's works.

Velkommen til vårt hjem, Lótiel!

Wow, Jon! Just read that little bit of Indonesian you put in the mail to me! That's fantastic, it must be a great site! *Dances with joy* Finally, a Mooter who can write to me in Indo!

Can you tell me the link? I'd like to check it out. Is it a translator? Maybe it translates everything into the formal way of speaking, in which case you wouldn't understand my informal words (but I can get much more informal than even that

)

Bagus! Bagus! Tentu saja kamu/Anda boleh mempergunakan bahasa Indonesiamu (Indonesia kamu) terhadap saya/aku!

Sorry, I seem to have lost the link and I'm unable to find it.
It was not a translator, just a site with lots of useful Indonesian words and phrases.

Lótiel, är det nåt fel på 'norbagge-vitser'?

Kalau begitu, itu aneh karena ada kesalahan dalam kalimat-kalimat itu. Kata 'Praktek' digunakan hanya untuk berarti 'praktek kedoktoran atau kantor pengacara.' dan lain lain, tidak untuk mempergunakan bahasa-bahasa.

If that's true, then it's strange because there are mistakes in those sentences. 'Praktek' is only used for 'practising medicine, law' etc, not for practising languages.

Nope, no butchering of the Swedish language in this post.

Lin, tack för meddelande.
Jag önskar dig en trevlig vecka.
Har du tid på tisdag eftermiddag? Verklingen? Jag antagligen inte.

For one thing, they're not funny.

You're just too 'dum' to understand them

No offence

Ingen orsak! Ta god tid på dig för att svara mig.

På tisdag jobbar jag klockan 12:00 - 20:00. När det är eftermiddag för dig, är det natt för mig.

Men jag skulle vilja öva mig att skriva svenska då också!

Thanks again, Jon. You legend, mate.

No, you're just so bad at making jokes (which proves what we've been saying about you...).

Apropos jokes, someone knows any good ones in their language?

To be honest... our jokes about the swedish are the same jokes that the swedish make about us. Obviously the swedish are stealing our jokes ´cause they can´t make their own!

I think it's a mix. They steal all the good ones and make all the bad ones. Typical behaviour for Swedes.

What is a "Pekka"?

Artanis · 01-12-2004, 03:03 AM

Pekka is the name of a typical Finn.

Det var under den store svømmekonkuransen i Enare sjø at Pekka stilte til start. Han hadde under Toivonnens skarpe oppsyn ligget i hardtrening hele vinteren. Pekka var virkelig i toppform og klar for gull. Konkurransen startet og Pekka la i vei og tok ledelsen med en gang. Toivonen som sto og ventet på land var sikker på at all tiden med hardt arbeide han hadde lagt ned for å holde råken oppe så Pekka kunne svømme hele vinteren kom til å bære frukter. Men da svømmerne kom til mål så han ikke Pekka. Først en halv time etter siste mann, kom Pekka svømmende helt utslitt. Ikke før han hadde satt foten på land utbrøt Toivonnen: "Hva har ni gjort Pekka? Varfor kommer ni nu?"
Pekka svarte: " När jag hadde hittat halvvegen svimmde jag forbi en ö full av nakne kvinnor. Og da stoppade jag bare! Jag svimmdeoch svimmde men det bromsade och det bromsade!"
Toivonnen som hadde forståelse for problemet utbroet:
"Jamen Pekka da! Varfor svimmde ni inte på ryggen da?!"
Pekka som hadde blitt irritert utbrøt: "Jammen broarna, Toivonen, broarna!
