Sometimes I think about the Norwegian language and here are some of my thoughts about translation.
If you're not thinking, you can read the word forsiktig as fornuftig. The difference between the two is that forsiktig means careful or carefully, where fornuftig means sensible or sensibly. Heat-up dinners will tell you to carefully cut up something and you might find yourself thinking you're supposed to sensibly cut up something.
Weird is rar in Norwegian but the Swedish word rar is søt in Norwegian which means cute or sweet.
Games is spill in Norwegian and gaming is spilling, to game is å spille. But the English words spill and spilling (like spilling the tea) is søle and søling, like å søle te (to spill tea) or søling av te (spilling of tea). Søle is also the word for mud/puddle like the one you find on the ground. It's not actually for mud but many of us use it for that, so I'm counting it.
People will pick random names and write them backwards for their fictional characters or, even worse, their kids and I'm here to explain to you why that's a bad idea. example: emma backwards is amme, in Norwegian the word amme exists and it means breastfeed. Now you know.
To be tired is å være sliten, where tired is sliten. Å slite is to struggle. There are several kinds of tired and in Norwegian we make the distinction through trøtt and sliten. Trøtt is the sleepy kind of tired, sliten is the exhausted kind of tired. Sometimes we might say we are trøtt og sliten, the og meaning and. It is to emphasize our exhaustion, even though we can just say we are utslitt, which is exhausted.
Mirror in Norwegian is Speil which sorta rhymes with Stein which mean Stone except its also spelled Sten and both Stein and Sten are actual "male" names in Norway. You can stone someone with a person.
Kosthold. It means diet. But kost is also broom and hold is like holding. So a diet is broom holding.
Christmas is jul which is pronounced the same as hjul, but hjul means wheel and juling means being beaten or beating someone. Wheel can also be dekk while a deck like on a ship is dekk too. And mas is nagging.
