#19 Språkforvirret? Lost in translation? Avoid these funny translation mistakes! [vokabular]

Send us Fan Mail This episode dives into some of the most common translation mistakes that nearly all Norwegian learners make, regardless of their level. Welcome to the world of being språkforvirret – language confused!Have you ever tried to directly translate "I am talking" to Norwegian and ended up saying something that sounds like "I am speaks"? You're not alone. Norwegian doesn't use the continuous tense like English does, making this one of the most persistent errors among English speakers. Or perhaps you've tried to tell someone you're doing great by saying "jeg er greit" – accidentally claiming you're an average person rather than expressing your excellent mood!We explore the fascinating false friends between languages, like how "greit" means "okay" not "great," and why "bare" doesn't always translate to "just." Discover how to translate"nice". And learn why saying "noe som det" for "something like that" immediately marks you as a non-native speaker.Have you encountered any puzzling translation moments in your Norwegian journey?
