| | You are correct. But I would say we really needed a Norwegian native (or the source) to say which is correct. |

Translated into Bokmål/Standard Norwegian:
Jeg savner deg også, og har tenkt mye på deg, har en kjempeflott helg og uke og. Stor kysse til deg
English translation:
I am longing for you too, thinking of you a lot of the time. I am having a swell weekend and a splendid week. Hugh kiss.
This is as exact I can be out of a drunken-dialectal-Norwegian-mail.

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | En fait : du Norvegian vers l'anglais :" I 'm longing for you too and think a lot of you" instead of " think of you a lot of the time". Je sais la différence n'est pas grande, mais je traduirai du norvegian. |

pour moi. |

| | gamine, "think a lot of you" means "value you highly" - is that what it means? CC: gamine |

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hello kafetzou. Sorry to answer you so late, but I was sleeping when you wrote me. No, that not what I leans : "og har tæmye på dig" should be read: have been thinking a lot of you" instead of " have been thinking og you a lot of the time". I know it's only a very slight difference, but there is a difference. I know, you read French so : "je pense beaucoup à toi" au lieu de ' je pense à toi la plupart du temps. Hope I explained myself well. |

| | "I have been thinking of you a lot of the time" does not mean "I have been thinking of you the majority (la plupart) of the time". But "I think a lot of you" has another meaning. I think this translation is fine as it stands and should NOT be changed. |

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | You decide kafetzou, but the words"all the time" isn't in the norwegian text. Ok, I know I'm not from Norway, but I do understand it. Anyway, I dont think it's that important. I believe in you and I respect your knowledge, of course. |
| | 18 July 2008 20:54 |
| | I don't understand, gamine - it doesn't say "all the time". |
| | 19 July 2008 00:37 |
| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hello kafetzou. Here is the translation almost word by word of the Norwegian : I miss you and I think a lot about you. I'm having a swell week-end and week too.Hugs Kiss."
Moreover the Norwegian word :"helger is plural = singular "helg" and means week-end.
the word week is in plural too : uker = singular = uke.. It's quite difficult because of the weird way it's written. Hope this can help you. |
| | 19 July 2008 01:09 |
| | Thanks, but I still don't see what needs to be changed nor why! |

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hello again. I have got a feeling, of a difference when I read them. But, you know, I'm NOT an English expert, so I'm almost sure that it can be MY English. And as I said before: I trust your English much more than mine. Hope I didn't create you too many problems. |

| | No - don't worry about it - we generally enjoy discussions like this. |

| gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Thanks a lot kafetzou. One thing is sure : I learn a lot every day here, and I enjoy it. |
