[Course Forum] Norwegian Expressions by Claire.D

This topic is about the “Norwegian Expressions” course from Claire.D.

Is the author still active or can someone please erase all typos and other errors?
I am no native speaker, but I have lived and worked in Norway for four years and I’m almost fluent in Norwegian.
Here are the errors: (If there’s a native speaker here, please double check and correct me if I’m wrong!)

å få tilbrakt nok - to spend enough time
å få tilbrakt nok means “to spend enough”, so the word time is missing.
Correct form: å få tilbrakt nok tid

[EDIT 1] ----
å ha røtter - to have roots
Honestly, I have never heard this expression before. Google suggests “å ha røtter i” as in “to decend from so”, so the correct form would be “å ha røtter i”, but I would delete that one. -----

å kommer tett på hverandre - to come closer to each other
[EDIT 2] ---- Actually, I’m unsure about this one, but for sure it’s not correct.
Either it’s: Å komme tett innpå hverandre or å komme tett inn til hverandre.
But kommeR is a typo. That’s for sure. ----

å le på noe - to move something
å le means to laugh, so this expression makes no sense.
Correct form: å flytte på noe

å se med nye oyne - to see with new eyes
correct form: å se med nye øyne

å send en søknad - to send an application
correct form: å sende en søknad

å søke etter arbeideer - to look for a job
correct form: å lete etter en job

å vaere avhenging av - to be dependent on
correct form: å være avhengig av

å være hekta på noe - to be obssessed with something
correct form: å være hekta på noe

vi må ta på alvor - take seriously
correct form: å ta på alvor

å være nød til - to be necessary
correct form: å være nødt til - to be necessary, to have to

i tilleg til - in addition to
correct form: i tillegg til

Quite a few…

BR, Nicole.

@Lien

Can you contact the original course creator and see if they are still around?

@justnics / Nicole:

If you are willing to put these errors right yourself, and the original course creator has moved on, Lien could make you a course creator and then you would be able to access the database for this course and make these changes yourself.

That would be really cool and improve the quality of the course.

Sure, I’d love that! :slight_smile:

@Lien:

We have a new course contributor, if needed!

Hi @justnics,

Unfortunately Claire.D (the course creator) is no longer active on Memrise.

As @amanda-norrsken kindly suggested, I’ve made you a contributor to the course. You should now see the ‘Edit Course’ button when accessing the course.
Here’s how to update the course’s content in case you haven’t done it before:

Many thanks for your help with improving this course!

All the best,

Lien

Thank you very much, @Lien!

I will edit and update the course as soon as possible and let the community know when it’s done! :slight_smile:

Have fun completing the course!

“å le på noe - to move something
å le means to laugh, so this expression makes no sense.
Correct form: å flytte på noe”

When it comes to this, it should be “å lee på noe” (le-e)
