I Will NEVER See A Prehistoric Dinosaur

Filler words in Norwegian

Can’t learn a language without fillers!

altså - “well…” or “so…” It’s often used to enhance confidence, whether it’s strong or weak. Altså, mamma sa at jeg får lov til å gjøre det.. / Well, mum said I’m allowed to do it..

vel - “well”, can be used in the same way as in English. You can also combine it with altså: Vel, altså, her er planen… / Well, so, here is the plan…

liksom - the Norwegian equivalent to “like” - use it everywhere! It can also be used to enhance sarcasm. Har du liksom tenkt å gå med det der? / Are you seriously like, going to wear that thing?

da - this literally means then, but we often use it to end sentences, especially if we’re saying something that another person might want to argue with. And since it means ‘then’, you can also use it in the same way as in English. Jeg skulle jo liksom bare prøve den på, da. / I was just going to like, try it on.

ehh / øhh - uhh, uhm. Super useful.

på en måte - “in a way” or “kind of”.  Han er litt merkelig, på en måte. / He’s a little strange, kind of.

bare - “just” Jeg skal bare innom butikken. / I’m just gonna pop by the store.

ikke sant? - translates to “not true”, but is used for saying “right?” “don’t you agree?”. Around Bergen, people usually drop the “ikke” and just say “sant”. I’m from Bergen so I didn’t know that not everyone says this until I googled it lol. 

skjønner du / skjø’ - used at the end of sentences in the same way as “you see” in English. It comes from the word “å skjønne”, which means to understand, to realize or to “get it”. “Skjø’” is not really used in the southern regions, but if you’re around Trøndelag, you’ll hear this a lot. In other regions one would say “skjønner du”. Han er lærer, skjø’/skjønner du. / He is a teacher, you see.

Feel free to ask me questions about these or request more specific fillers!

Honestly the biggest disappointment I had researching ABC was that medieval authors did not, in fact, see the creatures they were describing and were trying their best to describe them with their limited knowledge while going “what the fuck… what the fuck…”

Aromantic Sunset. Just don’t ask me why the sky is green and we won’t have a problem.

YOU KNOW WHAT

I'm gonna be cremated so archaeologists can't steal me bones. I don't want to know what they do with them.

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?

I love the ark fandom because so may people refer to the different creatures as "Dinosaurs" despite them clearly not being dinosaurs. I mean this with no ill will or sarcasm btw, it's a pretty funny thing we do. like

Sir I'd hate to inform you. That is a platypus.

INFP 3am musings

I hope my life has a happy ending. It would be sad if someone were like watching my life as a movie and I ended up dying from an accident or something.

*Looks up compatibility with all ex’s personailty types* I hate all my exes, they were stupid! No, I hate me for dating stupid people!

I want a cat.

I want to dance. *listens to music on phone for 10 minutes while dancing in bed, then goes back to being lazy*

I should organize my clothes. Tomorrow.

I think I’ve been in my room all day except to eat and go to bathroom. Tomorrow I’ll defintely go outside.

Why is no one up that I want to talk to?! Oh! Yay! That persons awake!! I’ll say hey! *after person says hi, INFP wishes they hadnt said anything*

What am I doing with my life!!? I have so much time to figure myself out because its summer, but I still am just lazy.

Do I have a type? I feel like I have liked so many different kinds of people…

Am I cute? Yes, yes I am. I dont feel it, but i am.

Are Asians my type?

Why am I staying up? Ugh! You can’t do this! This is probably why you don’t get anything done the next day!

Fine, I am going to sleep….*watches cat video*
