Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

Knewt,

Can you write about any kind of challenge you, or the society faces? That's pretty neat.

[Tunky]

I'm not sure, really. The booklet contains mostly texts about persons who have challenges in their lives. For example Terje Haakonsen or Huckleberry Finn.

 

I've searched the internet to find the exam, but I didn't find it. So I don't know what kinds of tasks we get.

 

EDIT: When I think a little harder, I can remember that our teacher mentioned something about challenges we meet in our every day.

Hmm. I posted the same question in the "Translation-thread" (sticky) and there it was said that it's called a "high voltage power pole." Can I use both?

 

Tritrans.net says that "pylon" meens "ledningsmast", so "power pylon" seems correct.

 

Maybe I'll be able to make it somewhat more clear to you. Høyspendtledning is a high-voltage power line. I guess you could use "high-voltage power pole", but to me that sounds a bit off to be honest, not "right". I would rather use pylon or power pylon.

[Tunky]

Yes. That is what we (Myself, Simen1 and Skarstad) ment too in the translation-thread. I think I'll use "electricity pylon", which we think is the most correct.

[Bonna86]

Yes. That is what we (Myself, Simen1 and Skarstad) ment too in the translation-thread. I think I'll use "electricity pylon", which we think is the most correct.

 

Ah, okay. Well, I agree with you.

[Vikingspeider]

I think it is pure hilarity how a lot of users here proclaim themselves much better in English than Norwegian, and still have a larger-than-necessary amount of errors in spelling, grammar and so on.

I'll have to agree with you on that one, and I don't think it was out of line at all to point it out.

 

Although, seeing how terrible many people on this message board are at Norwegian, they just might be telling the truth.

 

Haha, good point. I still think their seemingly lacking Norwegian skills are due to laziness when it comes to bothering about grammar and spelling, not how good they actually are but on a wild guess I'd say that's what you meant too.

How do i pronounce 1904 in english?

[FamiliarSting]

Ninteen Oh-four, or nineteen hundred and four, but I'd used the first. I'm assuming you mean the year (for some reason). If you mean the number then it's one thousand nine hundred and four.

[Vikingspeider]

You can say nineteen hundred and four about the number as well.

[Programvare]

I'm practicing for my oral exam tomorrow, it's about the history of football. Maybe i'll put up an audio recording of me speaking english, so you can give me some response.

[Underpants]

I'm going to speak about tea in the English class tomorrow. I like tea, but it's going to go to hell anyway.

[Programvare]

No, it's not. Practice speaking freely and it will be easy. Learn the text so good, you can even tell it aslepp.

 

edit: I began, but then my mother came into the room.

Everybody can bee that. You may begin to feel it when you get older...

[Programvare]

[Programvare]

No, yuu don`t sound british.. We can`t hear you...

[Tunky]

I think you're good. Funny end.

[Programvare]

I think you're good. Funny end.

 

Thank you very much. I'll keep practicing the whole night.
