"Errmerrgerd"?

I put it in google translate and it tells me the translation is "errmerrgerd". Then it suggests 'did you mean 'ermergherd'?'

So I put 'ermergherd' in there and it tells me the translation is 'ermergherd'. Mad

I'm not gonna get a break, am I?

Very well, I'll have to translate myself.

"Errmerrgerd! sa Norc, men stroing tenner."

"'Oh my God!' said Norc, 'That man's as strong as ten!'"

Try saying "oh my god" with your teeth clenched, (then say 'errmerrgerd') you'll see where I was going.

by Norc Sat May 10, 2014 2:11 pm

whaat?!

by **Amarië** Sat May 10, 2014 2:12 pm

...sounds a lot like "oh my god" and "armourguard" to me...

Tenner = teeth in Norwegian though, if you were wondering.

by halfwise Sat May 10, 2014 2:27 pm

I believe 'men stroing tenner' means 'with teeth clenched'. Hence the 'errmerrgard'/'oh my god' oh never mind...

by **Amarië** Sat May 10, 2014 2:51 pm

Stroing is not a Norwegian word.
Men stroing tenner would be something like:

"But stroing teeth/ignite" or "damage/injury -something- teeth/ignite."

by halfwise Sat May 10, 2014 3:04 pm

Look. As far as we're concerned strøing and stroing are the same thing. That little backslash thingy-magidget is just pretension masquerading as spelling. Mens stroing tenner. (these Fjordlandians are such picky readers Rolling Eyes

)

by **Amarië** Sat May 10, 2014 3:12 pm

Strøing is ether slag for peeing or spreading something, like spreading sand on snow to make the road less slippery. :prof:

I have tried to think of what word you are trying to find though, but I am drawing a complete blank of what we'd say to say "with clenched teeth". Shocked

"Med strengte tenner", perhaps.

by halfwise Sat May 10, 2014 3:23 pm

Actually it came out right the first time I did google translate with 'clenched'. Then I had to do 'gritting' to make it pop out. 'while gritting teeth' = 'mens stroing tenner'.

Unless you are suggesting google translate is not the perfect arbiter and last word on Norwegian. Suspect
