Hi all! I'm new here and I'd like to say hello to all of you:) And I'd like you also to do me a little favour. Could you please tell me what do these words (in the picture) mean? I don't know Norwegian very well:( I need it for work (as a webmaster;))

Thank you in advance!
PS I hope it's a right thread to ask such a question, if not, feel free to move my post somewhere else:)

The first part should be obvious (by simply looking at the information to the right).

The rest is:

Engine type: 1.6 Diesel
Imported from Germany (Tyskland)
Fuel: Diesel
Oil type: Reginol B22

Unless you wanted the bits without any information translated as well.

[annie2506]

Thank you!
And what about "reg.på eier"? The first one looks like an abbreviation to me, am I right?:) But I can't discover what's that I am also confused about "Fors.selskap" and all abbreviations in the picture... I can't find in a dictionary.

[EinarJ]

Reg. på eier. (Registrert på eier) -> Registered to owner (on date presumably)
Fors.selskap (Forsikringsselskap) -> Insurance company.

Greetings from California and welcome to the Norwegian language forum...

What would be a concise way for me to let some of my Norwegian friends know that most everything with my main job has continually been improving (work hours, salary, working conditions etc.)?

Her er mitt første forsøk:

Arbeidssituasjonen min blir bare bedre og bedre.

My work situation keeps on getting better and better.

[EinarJ]

Jepp

[Raufoss]

Jepp

Takk!

I'm guessing too that I could write "Arbeidssituasjonen blir bare bedre" if I posted this as a Facebook status update, since it will likely be assumed that the work situation I am referring to is mine.

I was thinking about the expression "World Cup Fever - Catch It!" that was used during last summer's Men's WC in South Africa and was wondering how I would write this på norsk? Her er mitt forsøk:

VM feber, fang det!

Godt forsøk Men to ting:

Husk at når det dreier seg om én ting (altså ikke et substantiv med et beskrivende ord/adjektiv foran) skal det også skrives i ett ord. Noen ganger bruker man bindestrek (litt usikker på reglene her, men tror det er når det første ordet ikke egentlig er noe "ordentlig" ord), og det ville jeg gjort i dette tilfellet:
VM-feber

"Feber" er hankjønn (en feber, feberen), og derfor blir det "fang den!"

Takk for hjelpen Antonym!

Her er mitt første forsøk på en oversettelse:

Remember that when it comes to one thing (not a noun with a descriptive word/adjective in front) it should also be written as one word. Sometimes you use a hyphen (a little unsure of the rules here, but think it is when the first word is not really a "real" word), and I would have done it in this case:
VM-feber

"Fever" is masculine (a fever, the fever), and therefore "fang den!"

Here's something I would like to write to some of my Norwegian friends who have spent time in Southern California during the month of June:

The gray weather pattern, called "June Gloom" ironically enough has finally ended this year on the last day of June.

Her er mitt forsøk:

Den gråværet mønster, kalt "June Gloom," ironisk nok har endelig avsluttet i år på den siste dagen i juni.

[EinarJ]

Heh, du gjør sammentrekningen ja, men på feil ord.

"Det grå værmønsteret".

Den eneste andre feilen du har, er feil verbplassering i andre leddsetning, "har" skal komme litt tidligere...

[Raufoss]

I'd like to write the following på norsk:

I'm hoping that Hege Riise will be getting an early birthday present in Frankfurt tomorrow and will be able to raise the World Cup trophy with her good friend Pia Sundhage.

Mitt forsøk:

Jeg håper at Hege Riise vil få en tidlig bursdagsgave i Frankfurt i morgen og vil kunne heve VM-trofeet med sin gode venninne Pia Sundhage.

[EinarJ]

Korrekt

So I'm really bad at Norwegian
and I have a question. I would like to know the translation for the english phrase "let's" as in let's eat a cake or let's go. The only translation that I found is "la oss" (which I guess to be let us). Is this phrase correct?

"La oss" is correct, although it is not used as much as in English. I think one often would find it more natural to phrase it as a question, like "Skal vi gå?" ("shall we go?"), "blir du med å spise kake?" (will you join me in eating cake?"), though honestly I'm not entirely sure what would be the best way to translate it. Do any fellow Norwegian speakers have any suggestions?

[Aleco]

I was thinking the exact same before reading your post, Antonym. "Skal vi ... ?" is what I would use instead too.

[dh3537]

Ok, takk.
