The Norwegian Thread

Ok, thanks for the info, what does Ryg mean by the way? I think that's Garm from Ulver' last name, Kristofer Ryg.

What?

That's like asking "What does derek mean?".

Derek is a male name of English and Old German origin, derived from the same root as the Old German Theodoric,[1] meaning power of the tribe or ruler of the people.

Vikk how many languages do you know? I saw you posted in here and wondered if you pulled some Norwegian out your ass.

 

[vikk]

i don't speak any languages fluently, not even my own. i just have a bit wee of vocabulary in a couple languages

DUH!!!
He's a freaking robot.

or he simply uses a translator. you can tell because of the special characters he uses like ø. copied and pasted. (cuz I seriously doubt he has those on his keyboard)

 

[~Derek~]

I was going to explain what Derek meant but vikk did i for me. I knew it was German and meant ruler of the people though.

 

[~Derek~]

Jeg bor i et landet et Tennessee.
(Hopes that was correct?)

I don't know about Vikk, but it's not that difficult to type those with non Scandinavian keyboard either:
å = ALT + 0229
Å = ALT + 0197
ø = ALT + 0248
Ø = ALT + 0216

Or if you are using windows you can switch to the international keyboard layout:
å = RightAlt+W
Å = Shift+RightAlt+W
ø = RightAlt+L
Ø = Shift+RightAlt+L

Nope, sorry.

Jeg bor i delstaten Tennessee.
I live in the state of Tennessee.

Was it that you were going to type?

Do you always have to be such an asshole?
What if he meant to say "I live in a the country a Tennessee."?

Wow, this is so helpful. Takk

ohh I see. I don't know how text files work tho. Do you have to first download the file, and then use special key combinations like valkokukka explained?

 

[vikk]

no no, i just copy all those caracters into the windows notepad and saved. whenever i need a caracter, i just copy/paste from there

 

[Mystique1721]

damn, that's inconvenient.

 

[vikk]

well, i don't use those often

but the trick Miia posted, worked on my PC

 

[the phenom]

You can program them to different ALT combinations but i don't know how to do that.

 

[Mystique1721]

maybe it doesn't work for me cuz I have vista?
