Actually, I've started to like Norwegian music lately. Postgirobygget is quite awesome, and I REALLY enjoy some of their songs.

ooooh my god! Postgirobygget suck's! i mean many of the Norwegian artists are very good! but when they sing in Norwegian it sound's like crap

[macciato]

Norwegian singing in general doesn't sound too good...Strange hearing people sing in your own language I'm not saying that the artists or bands aren't any good, but norwegian singing just doesn't appeal to me:)

Okey, just remembered that I love Kaizers Orchestra, but part from that

A little off-topic (but kind of important): you only use 's when expressing a possession of something (genitive case), not in present case of verbs.

Wrong. You also use it in contractions such as "it's", "they're", "you're". "It's", "they're" and "you're", by the way, means "it is", "they are", "you are", not "its", "their", "your", even if they're often confused.

YATZEEEE!! English oral exam :D :D

I forgot about abbreviations of phrases, but in a way that's not the same, because then it's the apostrophe that indicates a contraction and not necessarily 's (like in "they're".) But I totally agree with you. I might as well quote myself for a complete (more or less) overview over when to use 's and not:

 

I'm bored, so since I have nothing better to do, I might as well add some grammar stuff. It's just something that I see some people do wrong.

 

An overview of plural forms and possessive cases

 

When you write the plural form of most nouns, you add -s at the end of the noun: "one cat, many cats." If the noun ends with an "s-like" sound, you add -es: "one fish, many fishes."

 

This does not apply to nouns with irregular plural forms, such as "sheep", "man", etc., where the plural form is written using a vowel change or no change at all. Some nouns have other endings than -s or -es: Nouns ending with o have the ending -oes in plural form, and most nouns ending with y drop the y and have the ending -ies in plural form.

 

When you indicate the possession one noun in singular form has of another, you mark it by adding -'s at the end of it: "the dog's food."

 

When you indicate the possession one noun in regular plural form (that is with an added plural indicator like -s) has of another, you mark it by adding only an apostrophe: "The dogs' food."

 

When the noun is plural, but in irregular form (that is without any ending added to indicate plurality), you add both the apostrophe and an s: "The men's food". 

 

Some of the possessive pronouns (eiendomspronomen) may also be sources of confusion:

 

Your and you're

Its and it's

Their and they're

His and he's

 

Here, "your", "its", "their" and "his" are possessive pronouns, while "you're", "it's", "they're" and "he's" are abbreviations of "you are", "it is", "they are" and "he is".

well, they've heard their language sang in a much bigger scale than us norwegian people...It's all over the world, witch I doubt norwegian is...

I don't really respond to English singing as Norwegian singing..

(half english)

 

English is a much broader language, it's international aswell.

 

 

I recon it goes a big deeper though, all the way back to what kind of noices a humanbeeing is able to create.

English is a more finished language, and there must have been lots of thought behind it, with how it sounds in your ear.

Norwegian is not as completed, it sounds almost unknown.

 

You have most likely seen a movie where there is a tribe that communicates with clicks, that is they're language.

Obviously you can't sing with that language, and I recon Norwegian is just as bad

It's all to do with the 'kling' and the 'klang' in the words, and how adapted we are to speak it.

[Cheshire Cat]

I don't seperate Norwegian from English music. It's music, I listen to the music itself, not the words/the meaning of them, just how they fit the melody etc.

[macciato]

I tend to care about the words...'cause it's a major part of the music...any crap could fit in to a song...so I really think that the words are important

[meeeps]

i listen to norwegian music because it sounds awesome ;P

 

singing in english sounds so plain to me now

[Vitharr]

Bands singing in either Norwegian, German (HAIL RAMMSTEIN!), Finnish, Swedish, Icelandic (don't care for Danish ) sound awesome to me

 

By the way, if anyone feels like practicing their English, add me to msn: [email protected] or to skype: lord_vitharr

We could do a trade maybe? I practice my Norwegian, you practice your English

Not a big fan of Family Guy anymore... it's all the same - over and over. I have a tendency to get bored with that sort of stuff.
