IN NORWAY, RON WEASLEY IS CALLED "RONNY".

RONNY.

RONNY.

RONNY.

SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE READ ALL DAY, AND I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF READING INSTEAD OF WORKING BECAUSE I'M FEELING SAD AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.

PROOF WRITTEN IN NORWEGIAN THAT COINCIDENTALLY HAS A RATHER NICE PICTURE OF TOM FELTON IN IT. SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE BRAIN

Poufsouffle is amazing. Seriously. XD

It is totally mental - you think reading it is hard, try speaking it or understanding it. It's very...I can't even describe it other than fast, sing-songy, throaty (But not as throaty as Dutch) and rather mumbly. But that bit actually says: "Harry Potter and Ron, and at last Draco". XD There's lots of rather innocent words in Norwegian that either look bad in English or when read really quickly your brain turns naughty. I keep seeing "fart" everywhere, which actually means speed. Still doesn't stop me from having an immature chuckle though, especially when it's on a huge sign in red block letters.

That's pretty much exactly why I can read Norwegian a lot better than I can speak it/understand it when spoken to me. Also, any TV programs shown in English have Norwegian subtitles, so I've been reading the subtitles while listening to the English. As for me learning Norwegian before coming here, I tried but got way too busy with academic stuff for it to really have been effective.

...LOL!!!! XDDD

[quasiadastra]

It made me LOL for a solid five minutes. I'm glad there's no one here today.

SPEAKING OF FUNNY TRANSLATIONS, FRENCH SLYTHERINS ARE SERPENTARDS. THIS MAKES ME GIGGLE INSANELY.

[quasiadastra]

SERPENTARDS AND POUFSOUFFLE. I LOVE THE FRENCH.

*G* I was actually more amused by the til slutt Draco.

[quasiadastra]

LOL, I know, right? I actually see those words fairly often and it still makes me giggle, but they don't stand out as much to me. Norwegian is such a funny language.
