Re: Re: Re: oops
Hmmm...
Pthagonal, I don't find ''popsicle'' in my dicionarys either, and I tried (tryed?) ''freetranslation'', no help.
But I'm sure it's something nice!
Can someone help us, please?
Klem = hug.
Klem, Liv.

Left hand side of the road
The convention of passing an oncoming vehicle to the left (all roads were single carriageway and thus had no left lane or right lane) evolved from the coach and horses. For example, in 1760 the road from London to Manchester was single-track for 200 miles and took three days with two overnight stops to travel by coach.
With a team of horses, the lead horse was always front right and the coach driver would sit more to the right than left. When a coach came from the other direction this would enable him to see down the length of his coach (no wing mirrors in those days) and insure that the wheels of the coaches did not get caught up.
As roads widened in the 19th century, the convention remained that coaches would stay to the left. When the automobile was invented early cars had drivers sat centrally but soon the coach and horses convention was adopted and most cars were built with the driver sitting on the right. At this time roads still did not have a left-right carriageway designation. The invention of the Highway Code in Britain dictated the left-lane trend here because cars were being mass produced right-hand drive and the left-lane convention was most appropriate for vision and safe positioning in the road.

Thank you, Mike!
I'm a bit slow, ha?
The ''aka'' word confused me too; what's aka?
Pthagonal.
I finally got the point! Hurraaa!
OK, your §%^&*&%^ feels like a popsicle.
''Snopp'' is a nice name on the bodypart you see every day, and I see sometimes, often in the dark.
And i use ''istapp/icicle'', not popsicle, it works better.
Snoppen min kjennes som en istapp! = My §%^&*&%^ feels like an icicle!
But they might think you refer to the stiffness...
So it's better to say:
Snoppen min er kald som en istapp = My §%^&^&%^is cold as an icicle.
OK, we finally got it!
And I learn so many new words...! I like it!!
Klem, Liv.

AKA = Also Known As
Simon,
Interesting post. Fixed wing aircraft are always captained from the left seat (when there is a left & right seat
). Helicopters, however, are captained from the right seat. This is a result of Igor Sikorsky, the inventor of the helicopter, refusing to give up the captain's seat whilst training new pilots (he was the only person training in the world). All new pilots, therefore, learned to fly from the right seat and this became adopted as the captains seat...

A Tortoise is a reptile with a hard shell, into which it draws its legs head and tail if danger threatens.
a Turtle is a marine tortoise.
Sorry if I confused you.
It was what is called a pun (a play on words Turtall-Turtle)
Evidence in my sig may suggest otherwise.

Liv,
What I can't understand is why you don't speak English?
It must be a lot easier than trying to pronounce some of those foreign words!

But the real question is.......
Can Norwegians say 'hippopotamus', since that word seems unpronouncable to the Swedish.

Re: But the real question is.......
Yes, Robin!
I remember we practised to pronounce hippoptamus in school.
Hippopotamus = flodhest. Can you say that?
And can you guys pronunce my name?
LIV: You say your word ''leave'', it's the same sound! But if I translate my name, it means ''life''.
Hug, Life. Eh-hemm; Liv.

Re: Re: But the real question is.......
Liv, Only Norwegian I ever learned was:
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!
Svenga vee posida len, yen hi SKOL !!!!
I know it's all spelt wrong but large quantities of beer were involved when I learned this Viking drinking chant and althoug I can't remeber much else from that night - this is etched into my brain forever.
Skol !!

Re: Re: But the real question is.......
Probably not since i have found that the Scandinavian countries have 'sing song' or inflection, so it doesn't translate into text.
My wife, (English, who lived in Stockholm for a while) when bribed, can be enticed to say;
"Seven seasick sailors in the hospital"
In Swedish
Which is a good party trick, especially after several pints of HSB
(Horndean Special Bitter, for those outside the Gales Ales catchment area)
