Dirty Norwegian: swears, insults and other bad words explained
Faen i forbanna kuksugende helvete, for noe jĂŠlva dritt.Â
Do you wanna learn how to say âfuck in damned cocksucking hell, this is some fucking shitâ and more like this in Norwegian? Well, youâre in luck because thatâs exactly what I spent a good two hours of my life explaining to you guys.
Also let me know if you have any questions, Iâm more than happy to answer!
m, f, nt. = masculine, feminine or neutral nouns
The equivalent to fuck. If you stubbed your toe in a table corner, this is what you will yell out in pained frustration. After years of being a swear word it has lost itâs meaning but itâs original meaning comes from fanden, which means the devil. Additional fact: In Denmark theyâll still yell fanden instead of faen.Â
A lot of expressions are tied to faen. Here are some examples:
Faen ta deg. (Fuck you.)
Fy faen! (Fuck, but emphasized.)
Faen i helvete. (Fuck in hell. Again, for emphasis.)
Stygg som faen. (Ugly as fuck.)
Jeg gir faen. (I donât give a fuck.)
Gi faen. (Knock it off.)
⊠for faen.* ( ⊠for fuckâs sake.)
*Canât be used alone, you have to fill inn the dots with something else. Usually used when youâre saying something that may contradict what has just been said. Han er jo fĂŠl, for faen / But heâs terrible, for fuckâs sake.
Helvete: means hell, we use this all the time.Â
Additional fact: Many of you might know of the town in Norway called Hell and how itâs so far north that during the winter, Hell may freeze over. But the word âhellâ in Norwegian means luck. Do whatever you like with this information.
Satan: Youâll yell this out the same way youâll yell out fuck, but it doesnât have the same dynamic as faen. You may use it as an adjective, however. For emphasis, add svarte at the end.
Satan helvetes fitte!
Satan svarte!
JÊvla, forbanna og jÊvel
JĂŠvla is an adjective, kind of like âfuckingâ, except it canât be used alone, then youâre not making sense.Â
You can use forbanna in two ways: (1) wherever you can use jĂŠvla. Itâs an adjective, and it describes something cursed. You can also combine forbanna and jĂŠvla if youâre really pissed off!  (2) to let people know that you or another person is pissed off. Basically, you ARE forbanna. Usually you add an adverb such as these in front: âflyâ, âskikkeligâ or âheltâ forbanna. âFlyâ is exclusively used for forbanna.
JĂŠvla/forbanna idiot. (Fucking idiot.)
Hun ble fly forbanna nÄr hun sÄ meg. (She got really pissed off when she saw me.)
JĂŠvel is a noun (m) and means devil. Itâs an insult, usually expresses dislike OR someone being mischievous.Â
Han er en forbanna liten jĂŠvel. (Heâs a little fucking bastard.)
