Norwegian dialects
This guy tries to imitate the different Norwegian dialects along the Norwegian coastline. Can you hear the differences, even if you can't speak Norwegian?
The first minute, he explains what he's going to do in is own dialect (Egersund), but at 1:12 he starts imitating other dialects.

Any metalheads here?
I wondered of there were any metalheads here.
What kind of genres do you listen to? Are there any bands that you want to recommend?
And if you play in a band yourself, please feel free to share it!
Personally, I listen mostly to prog, black, avant-garde, doom and drone.
I would like to recommend Wilderun (prog), Soen (prog), Abyssal Vacuum (black/avant-garde), and Wormwood (black).

False friends (in Norwegian)
"False friends" are words in two different languages, that sounds similar, and perhaps even have the same origin, but have different meanings.
In Norwegian some of these are:
Full
The English word means the opposite of hungry, while the Norwegian word means "(being) drunk". So if you're saying "jeg er full", it means "I'm drunk", not "I'm full". If you want to say "I'm full", you have to say "jeg er <em>mett</em>" or "jeg er <em>forsynt</em>".
Go - gå
I've seen many Norwegian learners make this mistake. When they try to say "I want to go to Norway", they translate it to "jeg vil gå til Norge". But what they're really saying, it "I want to <em>walk</em> to Norway".
Because in most cases "gå" means "walk".
Though there are some exceptions: we also use "gå" when we're about to leave ("jeg går nå" - "I'm leaving/going now").
Map - mappe
For this one, I've actually heard Norwegian make mistakes when trying to say it in English. The Norwegian word "mappe" usually means "folder", but can also be a small bag or pouch. Therefore it's funny when people say "toilet map" when they actually mean "toiletry bag". "<em>Map</em>" in Norwegian is "<em>kart</em>".
Leg - legg
The Norwegian word "legg" is the area between the ankle and the knee. "Leg" in Norwegian is "bein/ben".
Chin - kinn
"Kinn" means "cheek". So if you want to say "chin" you have to say "hake".
Steak - stek
"Stek" means "a roast", while the Norwegian word for "steak" is "biff". Which brings us to the next one.
Beef - biff
"Beef" in Norwegian is "storfekjøtt" (literally "cattle meat").
Rolig (Norwegian vs. Swedish)
In Norwegian "rolig" means "calm", while in Swedish it means "fun" or "festive".
Bärs - bæsj (Swedish vs. Norwegian)
The Swedish word "bärs" is a pilsner or lager beer, while the Norwegian word "bæsj" actually means "poop". It can be quite funny to Norwegians when Swedish people seemingly wants to drink poop.
Glass (Swedish vs. Norwegian)
The Swedish word means "ice cream", while the Norwegian word means "glass".
Bolle (Norwegian vs. Danish)
In Norwegian "bolle" is a sweet bun. In Danish however, it's slang for having sex.

Cooking instructions (spot the mistakes)
This is the cooking instructions for 핵불닭볶음면 (2x strength fire noodles). Can you spot the mistakes? If so, what would you've written yourself?
I would normally post something like this in the discussion section, but then I wouldn't be able the upload the picture.

Mutual intelligibility
In my case, I can understand Swedish perfectly well, and Danish too, to a lesser extent. The same is true with most other Norwegians, and Swedes and Danes understand us to, though not to the same extent.
Are there any languages you understand, intuitivelyrics, without having learned it?

Salty liquorice
Personally, I love salty liquorice (aka salmiakki), and would go so far as to say that liquorice is supposed to be salty.
But I've heard most people outside Northern Europe, really can't stand the flavour. I find it weird, as I think it's the saltiness that makes it tasty.
I suppose it may have something to do with the fact that they use a different kind of salt: ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), instead of sodium chloride (NaCl).
What's your opinion on salty liquorice? Have you tried it?

A common mistake among Norwegian learners
I've noticed a common mistake that Norwegian learners make.
In English, when making requests, we usually say "please", and this is translated to "vær så snill" in Norwegian. However, we don't use "vær så snill" like this. Instead we might say "takk" or simply leave it out completely (Norwegian is a quite informal language), and rather let the tone show politeness.

Spell check bug?
I've tried searching for this, but all the results that come up are irrelevant.
For some reason the word "movie" keeps being red lined. And I know it is correct. So I find it kind of curious as to why that word, specifically, isn't recognised. It's not really important. I just find it strange.
Have anyone else experienced this, or something similar?
Any idea of why it happens?

이/가 used as object?
I'm a little bit confused. I chatted with my Korean friend and she wrote "내가 보고 싶었구나". But she meant "me" (as in "you wanted to see me/missed me").
So are this an exception or can 이/가 be used as object in other cases too?
Or has it something to do with the nature of ~고 싶다?
I have never thought about this before, but is that verb construct similar in function to 좋다, 싫다, 없다, 있다? In that case 을/를 can't be used, right? It is counter intuitive to me, so until now, I have used 을 with ~고 싶다. But I've never been corrected on it either.

"는데": 이렇게 쓸 수 있어요?
오늘은 직장에 우산을 가져왔는데, 비가 안 왔는데요
아니면: 오늘은 출근할 때 우산을 가져왔는데, 비가 안 왔는데요
With the nuance "it didn't rain after all"
Or is this better?:
오늘은 직장에 우산을 가져왔는데, 비가 안 왔네요
아니면: 오늘은 출근할 때 우산을 가져왔는데, 비가 안 왔네요
Is it natural? If so, which one is most fitting to "When I went to work today, I brought an umbrella, but it didn't rain after all"?
도와 줘서 고마워요~
