Jeg er sikker på at det er en skilpadde der ute med navnet ditt på den
Altså... ikke bokstavelig talt..

I and my Norsk-Engelsk Ordbok aren't quite up to the task of translating yet, apparently.

maybe i wrote it wrongly idk, but i wrote that it went quiet (stille, stilt) from that person (from that place/fra den kanten). it's a saying.

i think you did well.. but good luck with spoken norwegian just saying...

Yeah thanks a lot, haha.

Kill Fred?
Is this the Scandewegian version of "They killed Kenny?"
Was Forrest just called a flink? (I've often thought it, but never said it.)

Fylla-formulering - tre år siden forrige skitur, heh.
What this all is for all you foreign hobbits is I kinda said I'd ski home from this cabin we stayed at last night, and it's a 30km track. So, hungover though I was, I kinda had to. The weather and conditions were superb, so probably the best detox I've had

i think i understood it now that you wrote it in english.. was this sent after you drunkenly went on a 30 km skiing adventure? or am i still confused?? and what does this have to do with barneskirenn (skiing thing for kids)
Re: Fjordlandia Viking bar & kaffistove, main str. 221B, Needlehole [3]
Barneskirenn is a reference to something Petter Northug once said It was sent after I had drunkenly said I'd ski home (no memory of posting it here as well actually). The adventure took place today, after all the drunkenness

Is it basically: "When you're thinking about going three miles by ski tomorrow, and it's been a number of years since our last ski trip."? I mean, is this one of those "When you're X" musing-type posts that you see on social media?
My dictionary doesn't have an entry for barnaski, only barneskei.
And what's the deal with this "tre mil" bit? I thought all you Euro-types were tossing around kilometers willy-nilly. And anyway, three miles isn't 30 km, it's only ~4.8 km.

10km equals one Fjordian "mil" - confusing, I know

Re: Fjordlandia Viking bar & kaffistove, main str. 221B, Needlehole [3]
Ah, so it's like a... deca-kilometer.
Not too confusing, really. I mean, in the system we officially have in the US it's 12 points to a pica, 6 picas to an inch, 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, and 1,760 yards to a mile (5,280 feet).
In my carpentry work, however, the smallest unit of length I use is the inch, which is divided on a tape measure into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16s.
US Surveying has its own set of interesting sounding names for length: link, foot, rod, chain, furlong, survey mile, and league. And US Nautical uses fathom, cable, and nautical mile.
And there's a separate set of measurements for dry and liquid volumes for some reason. Some farming thing probably.
But for cooking you use these: 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon, 16 tablespoons to a cup (or 2 tablespoons to a fluid ounce), 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon.
There's something satisfyingly arcane about it to me, but I do have a bugger of a time trying to work out math at work. The whole 12 inch to a foot and inches being divided up into a base fraction of 1/16 does not make for easy calculations!

Re: Fjordlandia Viking bar & kaffistove, main str. 221B, Needlehole [3]
the metric system is NOT the confusing part here..
the confusing part here is why ringo decided to get hammer and then ski 30 km back?
also.. (mil would be 10 with a hightend 4)

Re: Fjordlandia Viking bar & kaffistove, main str. 221B, Needlehole [3]
Hah, yes I do Layered up, so wasn't cold at all really. And I kinda had to go through with it having said I would It was very nice, though, no regrets there - only my thighs haven't really done this for so long, so I'll feel that tomorrow

This was cross country skiing, I assume?
Forrest - though "American" units are comfortingly arcane, I tend to convert them into metric, do my calculations, then if necessary convert back again. It's actually faster then sticking to the dingbat-blasted medieval system people use in this benighted country.

That was dangerously close to a criticism of our time-honoured system of measurements, Halfwise! Tread carefully. A step misplaced by as much as 1/73 of a fathom could lead to public shaming in the July 4th thread!

Our measurement system is....quaint. I'll leave it at that.
