I'm pretty sure you can, but I'm also quite sure it's "tale" and not "tala". At least it is in Danish.

Well using "tale" would be abit awkward, but understandable nonetheless, it means speech (as in performing a fantastic speech) in norwegian.

Okay. In Danish, "tale" can mean a speech as well, but it can also be translated to speak as compared to "snakke" which would be more along the lines of "talk". "Tale" is a bit more formal.

Oh nice. Lucky you guys getting such good comedy, didn't think the Norwegians had a sense of humour

We have some pretty awesome comedians like the 3 mentioned already, plus Kristoffer Schau (imo, very hit or miss), Trond Viggo Torgersen, Knut Nærum & Dagfinn Lyngbø
England's got Ross Noble though, so you win.

I don't like Ross Noble too much.
My friend Husvik always told me about Norwegian comedies, kind of hard for him to explain what was going on through MSN, but I got the whole idea. I really need to start watching more, My Norwegian isn't great but watching TV helps a lot.

Hehehe, that was pretty funny. Now, I don't know if any of you people speak Finnish, but this sketch is from a Finnish-Swedish comedian called Andre Wickström and he's talking about the Danish language as well. It's really funny.

My first name is Irish for Cathrine and my surname is apparently a version of a Scandinavian name from Viking settlers here in England, but it's probably all bullshit.
My family mottor is "My Warfare is Manifold" which is pretty brutal.

Oh? Well guess what mine is!
"Without god, without anything"
Which would be cool if it meant without god but I'm pretty sure it means we're without anything without god. WELL HAR HAR HAR, ISN'T THAT JUST GREAT! I was thinking about this last night and it's really pissing me off. At the very least I wish I had gotten a last name from my Irish or German side. I think I'm gonna change my name. Can you do that? I wanna do that.

"English: from the Old Norse personal name Tóki, of uncertain origin, perhaps a short form of þorkell "
My surname seems pretty cool.
but it also says
"Altered spelling of German and Jewish Tuch."
And sadly I think the last one is more likely because I'm pretty sure My father's side of the family had Jewish blood. Might explain their horrible hooked noses and frizzy hair
ALSO
The English surname Tuck is of patromymic origin, being one of those names that was based on the first name of the father. During the Middle Ages when the systems of surnames first developed, it was inevitable that children in the community would be known by their father’s name. In this case the name literally means “The son of Toke” Toke being a medieval personal name. In the Domesday book of 1086 this first name was more generally rendered as Toka, hence this document mentions a “liber homo Stingandi Toka Francigine” (Toka the Frenchman) Records of this surname in England date back to the fourteen century. The poll tax returns of Yorkshire, for example, mention a Thomas Tuke and a Johannes Tokson. In 1526 the Registers of the University of Oxford refer to one of their students as “Nicholas Toke, or Tocke, or Tuke which clealy indicates the various ways in which this surname can be rendered.
Tuck is also linked further back than the fourteenth century as originating from Nordic, Icelandic and other primitive island countries. This name has many variations through many different cultures that began between the 15th and 16th century. Included are Tuke, Tucka, Toke and Tuske. However, Tuck was primarily a name that began in Viking royalty and what was commonly referred to then as Cosmater as one of the last known Nordic leaders before the disbandment in 1372 A.D. Reaching the medieval periods in England it became more common as travel became less useful to the Nordic. Most of the remaining Nordic travelers found settlement in the English provinces and ended the Cosmatsership. Currently, the name Tuck has been expanded primarily into the common surname Tucker.
So interesting!
VIKING ROYALTY? FUCK YEAH!

It's a pain, because when I get married I don't want to change my surname because I love being a Tuck so much. Unless it was a certain half of Solefald <3
