It is probably changed just slightly to avoid any legal issues. It would not be the first time.

Swedish and Norwegian are pretty similar so that should be OK. :) Good to know though.

Books I don't know, jokes of course. And there are jokes about the germans from the dutch sude, of course.

Good to know that too! Guess we're on another level here though, we've got books. ;) I wonder if they have them about us too...

Yeah, one of the guides put it this way: "We love the swedes, as long as we beat them", heh. "We want to beat them in the Olymlics - which we do - and the ESC - who we don't."

Haha. XD Well said.

Oh yes, the in-laws have been to New Zealand as well and it seems it's just as amazing. And of course the in-laws are retired, so they have enough time to travel. :D

That pension age... hope to do a lot of traveling before I reach it. :) You never know how it'll go after that... sounds nice though! Stumbled upon some New Zealand videos lately and woah. Amazing views. Seems similar to Australia but so much more mountainous; watery, with winding rivers cutting through thick coats of verdant greenery... gotta go there some day too.

Yeah, smog can be really nasty. Luckily it's not a problem in Norway. There just aren't too many people in a single place. For example, the population density in to county Finnmark is like 1 person per km².

Oh wow, didn't know it was that little! Indeed, clean air's one of the major benefits living in Scandinavia. As long as you're outside the biggest cities there's still plenty of space.

I imagine it may have gone down if some users requested account removal which I have no issue with; some people just want to have less of an online presence overall for various reasons.

That too, yeah. Always a shame when someone does, but of course, it's their right (just hope their topics/submissions don't drag along some of my posts and reviews into the abyss, but with a small system update that wouldn't be a thing...).

Swedish and Norwegian are pretty similar so that should be OK. :) Good to know though.

Just the other day I read that norwegian is kind of "the middle language" in scandinavia, as in that most scandinavians can understand at least parts of written norwegian (I think swedes can understand up to 80% of what is written in norwegian, or so the site claimed).

I am trying to learn norwegian right now. So far I only use the app Duolingo, no courses with a teacher or anything like that. But it's funny how very similar norwegian grammar is to german grammar, most of the time the word order is 1:1 how it would be in german. For example "Her er jeg" -> "Hier (Her) bin (er) ich (jeg)". In english this is different: "Here (Her) I (jeg) am (er)".
Or some words are used exactly as they are in german. "Står" for example can be used to say "Det står i avisen", it's just like that in german: "Das (Det) steht (står) in (i) der Zeitung (avisen)".

What's killing me right now is the genders. Of course I am used to the concept of grammatical genders, as german has three genders as well (and it's not possible to use the male gender for female words either, as it is in norwegian). But it's quite difficult to learn DIFFERENT genders for things. In norwegian: en båt, et tog. In German: Das Boot, der Zug. It's just the other way round...

But at least I slowly get the hang of the definites and plurals. Avis - Newspaper. Avisen/Avisa - The Newspaper. Aviser - Newspapers. Avisene - The newspapers. Even though sometimes you get the feeling they are trying to make fun of you: Tallerkenen. Really?? :P

Yeah, one of the guides put it this way: "We love the swedes, as long as we beat them", heh. "We want to beat them in the Olymlics - which we do - and the ESC - who we don't."
Haha. XD Well said.

Damn, reading what I've written back then... I really should stop typing out posts on my phone. It has this annoying bug with the word suggestion list. I think I'll try to explain it this way:

suggestion 1 | suggestion 2 | suggestion 3

So, I get three word suggestions. I want suggestion 1, so I tap it. But sometimes the phone registers the tap at suggestion 2, or maybe it's a bug in the keyboard app I use, I don't know. So, instead of writing "suggestion 1" it writes "suggestion 2". And sometimes I don't catch the error and I end up writing stupid shit. Sometimes even the exact opposite of what I really wanted to say ("do" instead of "don't", for example).

Oh yes, the in-laws have been to New Zealand as well and it seems it's just as amazing. And of course the in-laws are retired, so they have enough time to travel. :D
That pension age... hope to do a lot of traveling before I reach it. :) You never know how it'll go after that...

They did travel before pension as well. But with three kids it's not always that easy. Plus, you rarely get like 3 months off to travel through Australia, lol.

gotta go there some day too.

Most definitely! I believe Norwegians understand Swedish the same, most of the ones I've spoken to understand me better than I understand them, but Danish is a bit more different, and Finnish is something else entirely, almost more like Japanese. Iceland I'm not sure about.

Interesting to know! Haven't thought about the structure, though I do understand certain phrases in German otherwise. Bits and pieces. Many words seem similar, and knowing two somewhat different other Germanic languages it's almost like words can either be understood via one or the other, even if the meaning's not exact, for example 'Ich bin' - 'I've been', or Angst, or with Swedish Morgen/Morgon, Spiel/Spel, etc. Similar words With Swedish, and understandable phrases with English, maybe... though considering the word order it shouldn't be that way after all...

What's killing me right now is the genders. Of course I am used to the concept of grammatical genders, as german has three genders as well (and it's not possible to use the male gender for female words either, as it is in norwegian).

Damn, reading what I've written back then... I really should stop typing out posts on my phone. It has this annoying bug with the word suggestion list. I think I'll try to explain it this way:

suggestion 1 | suggestion 2 | suggestion 3

So, I get three word suggestions. I want suggestion 1, so I tap it. But sometimes the phone registers the tap at suggestion 2, or maybe it's a bug in the keyboard app I use, I don't know. So, instead of writing "suggestion 1" it writes "suggestion 2". And sometimes I don't catch the error and I end up writing stupid shit. Sometimes even the exact opposite of what I really wanted to say ("do" instead of "don't", for example).

Understandably frustrating! One of the reasons I have suggestions turned off is, though not this reason in particular, just their general unpredictability. Probably does make me a slower typer though; prone to prefer stationary devices over mobile. So much easier with a regular keyboard. Though Gmail have apparently started with a similar thing even for stationary. Still getting used to it, wondering if it's easier or not that way... they register common words and phrases, and add them in advance as you type (in light gray text, overtyping them as you go), and you can hit the TAB key to enter that predefined phrase and keep going, or just ignore it and continue writing. Problem is I usually finish typing the word faster than it'd take me to hit TAB and keep going, and it feels like an interruption in the thought process as you write. For longer phrases it might be useful, but then there's a new dilemma: you're presented with a phrase you commonly use. Do you want to use that phrase again, since it's so common? Were you about to write that phrase, or do you feel like you were simply because it's so common for you? Do you plan your writing further than a few words in advance, and prepare for such phrases or are these suggestions now playing on your subconscious, and what you're used to writing rather than what you could've written without a predetermined choice? Complications. XD

They did travel before pension as well. But with three kids it's not always that easy. Plus, you rarely get like 3 months off to travel through Australia, lol.

Ah, family, understandable then. Yeah three months is beyond even my summer vacationing capabilities now. :) Remembering them good old times with university studies and longer hiatuses between each course.. should've done way more traveling then.

If only it wasn't so far away. :O

But with a plane: doesn't take more than a day! :D

And even in very remote areas you still have amazing phone reception and 4G+ mobile internet connection! :D

That being Finland or Norway? In Sweden unfortunately not true. :) Up North we sometimes can't call anywhere at all. Coverage fluctuates. But I don't mind, less coverage: more freedom! No arrays of wireless rays reaching you all times of the day!

Haha, it probably just means I'm lazy and/or don't have the time. I do always try to ve as fair as possible though, and not vote based on whether I think the submission will be blammed or protected. If I'm really not sure, I usually end up skipping out on a submission. Oftentimes I don't watch longer things because, well, they're long. Oh well, I hope I can end up doing something worthwhile on here.

Ah, interesting to know! I usually don't skip anything intentionally, just the ones that happen to go through when I'm asleep/away/unable to get to a computer. If I don't have time enough I skim, and guess, but try to give a neutral vote on submissions I don't have time enough to fully appreciate, so I don't impact their score unfairly. Good thing with the new system is it's easy to change that later on if it turns out it was something amazing. :) You're definitely doing an impressive job on that!

Yes, I'll also sometimes give a passing score if I think it should pass, and in the general area of where I think it should be, and then when I have more time, and I know i've guaranteed myself a save, I'll come back and give it a more detailed analysis.

I think norwegian and danish share the same vocabulary, but the pronounciation is different. Finnish is a completly different family of languages, I think it's related to hungarian (however that should be possible, heh), and so far the only language I know that makes use of "ää" in it's words.

Icelandic should be the most "pure" language, after all it's still very close to old norse. So, both our native languages derived from that. :D

Yes, I got confused again. Of course "Das Boot" means "båten" and "Der Zug" means "toget". But I still have to use the male preposition "en" for one and the neuter preposition "et" for the other word. In german, I would have to use either "ein" for male and neuter, "eine" for female words. That's why I always tend to use "en" when learning a new word, because it's so imprinted in my brain to use the same preposition for male and neuter words, heh.

Seems very similar in this particular example... oh, yeah, it's either -et or -en, and when after the word it's sometimes singular and sometimes plural, without any explainable pattern there-to... hmm... yeah that's bound to be difficult to learn if you didn't grow up with it. Never thought about this before.

The worst part of learning any language are those little inconsistencies. For example, an "and" is a duck, but "ducks" is "ender". "Tre" is "Tree" (very straight forward), but "trees" is "trær". What the...?

English has some similar anomalies though. Seems you just learn by listening/speaking.

Yeah once I'm done with Duolingo (which still will take a while) I'm planning on picking up some childrens books, or maybe some kids movies. Gotta start with simple language first. ;)

Hm, since I do plan to visit sweden one day... ;)


Damn, reading what I've written back then... I really should stop typing out posts on my phone. It has this annoying bug with the word suggestion list. I think I'll try to explain it this way:
Olymlics? Is that even a word?

I really don't know where that came from...

Understandably frustrating! One of the reasons I have suggestions turned off is, though not this reason in particular, just their general unpredictability. Probably does make me a slower typer though; prone to prefer stationary devices over mobile. So much easier with a regular keyboard.

Yes, I think I will switch the keyboard app sooner or later, because I feel it's getting worse.

Though Gmail have apparently started with a similar thing even for stationary. Still getting used to it, wondering if it's easier or not that way...

I hate word suggestions when typing on a regular keyboard. I always turn it off in Word for example. It's too irritating. The only time it comes in handy is when programming.

Do you plan your writing further than a few words in advance, and prepare for such phrases or are these suggestions now playing on your subconscious, and what you're used to writing rather than what you could've written without a predetermined choice? Complications. XD

Who would have thought the simple feature of word suggestions would lead to a deeply philosophical debate? :D

If only it wasn't so far away. :O
But with a plane: doesn't take more than a day! :D

Or you could combine it with a stop over in Singapore... ;)

That being Finland or Norway? In Sweden unfortunately not true. :) Up North we sometimes can't call anywhere at all. Coverage fluctuates. But I don't mind, less coverage: more freedom! No arrays of wireless rays reaching you all times of the day!

Never been to Finland. ;)
The only time I didn't have any reception at all was when we where on a long hike and where some kilometers away from civilization. The hiking trail was nothing more than a few cm wide dirt track, sometimes hardly noticeable. It took us 5 hours, but we where also busy with geocaching while hiking. ;)

I believe Norwegians understand Swedish the same, most of the ones I've spoken to understand me better than I understand them, but Danish is a bit more different, and Finnish is something else entirely, almost more like Japanese.

I think norwegian and danish share the same vocabulary, but the pronounciation is different. Finnish is a completly different family of languages, I think it's related to hungarian (however that should be possible, heh), and so far the only language I know that makes use of "ää" in it's words.

Written Danish and Norwegian is definitely very similar, but it's not the exact same. Definitely far more similar to eachother than Swedish written language, but I know that a lot of Norwegians have an easier time understanding Swedish spoken language compared to Danish due to how it's pronounced.
If you go to the south of Norway you'll find dialects that have a lot more in common with Danish than you'll find in the rest of the country.

I'm now in the top 1,000 in experience, which I don't know if that's an achievement or not because I believe I've been ranked better than that before....

I also crossed 90,000 medal points. My main goal is 100,000 medal points so I still have many hours of work to push back before I get there.

That is not a bad way to do it. It certainly takes advantage of the new update's ability to alter your score. Plus, watching a submission more than once can help determine its score.

Finally level 49
Bout damn time I got my spooky Halloween scythe. I'd wanted the scythe level icon since before the last redesign but was obviously nowhere close to getting it by the time it happened. Im content with this but still want to trudge forward to level 60.

Thanks. It took a lot of patience to stick around that long. My account is old enough to have an account.
