Re: [tobiasz] Norway Question
How do you say that anyways?

I've read it thousands of times, but I've never heard anyone say it out loud.

Kjerag? Can somebody spell it phonetically?

Re: [NSEMN8R] Norway Question
The way I've heard it said, and say it myself, is like "Sher-AHG". It could just be that the Norwegians I've talked to are very tolerant.

That sounds good in my part of the country! But Norway is a country of many dialects, so dependant of whom you ask it might vary. The real locals (from the Stavanger area) would pronounce the R like the French do. The first syllable, I guess would be hard to pronounce for most foreigners. The KJ-sound in Norwegian is not used in many other languages, and it seems a lot of young Norwegians can't get it right eitherLaugh

At any rate, the way you spell it phonetically makes it sound just rightSmile

Us Norgies are having a real hard time distinguishing between W and V, and often refer to ourselves as Wikings
