The challenges of thinking in Norwegian. 🤔 #linguaphile #nevernotlearning @adamcsharp.bsky.social
What do you think about when you're alone?
Hva tenker du på når du er alene?

What do you think about plagerism?
Hva synes du om plagiering?

What do you think will happen?
Hva tror du vil skje?

We say 'gåsehud' as well.. I'm not quite sure how I'd describe 'dust in my body' in English - my son used to say it about the sound of polystyrene. 😆

That's even better than the Norwegian for "A shiver down my spine," or maybe "Gives me goosebumps".. we say "I get dust in my body".

Fun fact: The first known use of OMG comes from a letter to Winston Churchill (in 1917). And Churchill himself then later used OMG in one of his most famous speeches…

In Norwegian, instead of "No problem", we say, "Zero stress, tracksuit." It rhymes in Norwegian - "Null stress, joggedress". 😁

I did that a while ago with a magazine. Placed two fingers over an image and did the reverse pinch action. Then I was jolted back to reality with that slapstick comedy head shake that would be accompanied by a "What the...?!"

Updating @kitdewaal.bsky.social website, need to replace the #twitter bird icon with the @bsky.app icon. I couldn't find one to download so I made one. I wasn't sure if I'd got the blue right, so copied it from the new post icon from a screenshot of my homepage... I knew I was good, but wtf?

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

Anyone play #Wordle or #Wordly? I prefer Wordly. It's super basic (which I like) and the premium/no ads version costs pennies, so... No ads.👌 What are your start words? Mine are LOINS & CRATE, but might change (although, check them stats!). #wordnerd Image source: www.dictionary.com/e/wordle
My Wordly stats: 484 wins, 100% win rate.Text reads: As for the letters that begin the most English words, the top five are T, O, A, W, and B. For the end letter, the most common are E, S, T, D, and N.

It's a gem. Very odd, and not a favourite with the critics. I think I've got it somewhere. If you want it, let me know.
