Et forlag er godt for så meget,
forskudd i millioner,
men nu er kravet steget
til splitter nye kroner ...

A publishing house is good for so much,
millions in advance,
but now the demand has been raised
for even more money ...


Notes sobre la traducció
This is a bit of a free translation - the original says "brand new kroner", not "even more money".

Something is wrong with this - it makes no sense. Is it possible that there was a typing error in the original text?

Anyway, the syntax is wrong in the English target. What does it mean to "demand to" something?

This should not have been accepted.

Hege, can you help here?

Hi Kafetzou

I imagine that ths means that as well as asking for the millions of kroner in advance for a book yet to be published, the author also asks for a brand new wife.

I'd prefer a brand new car myself

Gee, I wonder if I shouldn't have my book published there? Paid in Kroner and a Crone thrown in to boot!

Oh David!!!!

I literally guffawed when I read that!!! I nearly fell of my typing stool.

In French I would say "Chapeau bas" otherwise said, I bow down low.

Kafetzou has right. There is a typo. It shall read "kroner" instead of "kone".

So all in all I understood it means "the demand is now raised for new krones".

OK; I just edited the original according to what feb wrote. Now what should the English translation be? Should it be "brand new coins"? Or does it simply mean that they are demanding more money? Why does it have the word "new"?

I think that feb has the answer kafetzou..
"the demand is now raised for new krones".

(if you can use the word krones instead of coins?)

the word "new" is just there to indicate that the money is completely new.

Do you mean the money has been newly minted, or just that it's more money? It doesn't make sense in English to say "new money".

No it's NOT about newly minted.
..sorry for the bad explanation.

I guess it's just about more money as you suggest, can you say "fresh money"??

Or just:
"the demand is now raised for brand-new krones"

That doesn't make sense in English - it sounds like they've been newly minted if you say "brand new". That's what I've been trying to explain. "Even more" would make the meaning much clearer. I will edit.
