原稿 - ノルウェー語 - elsker deg fremmed

This is Norwegian, not Danish (Danish is elsker dig)

I think this is a question, only the question mark is missing.

I don't think so, what is missing is the subject (jeg), but I guess it's implicit.

My Norwegian is so poor I couldn't help on that one, but it seems to me that not mentioning the subject is pretty current in some languages, so maybe in Norwegian they use to do so...(I couldn't assume anything about Norwegian though...

Why I think this is a question? Because the verb is in the first place. It's characteristic of type of questions with verb inversion. So, it can be translated as "Does a foreign love you?"

Could any of you help us with a bridge here?
does this mean:
1- (I) love you stranger.
or
2- Does a foreign love you?

If I may, I would like to add something.

It is definitely not a question, the subject is missing indeed, but it can be used without it. It has the first meaning you said, lilian.

Sorry! I've made a mistake: it should be not "foreign" but "foreigner" (or, perhaps, "stranger", i.e. my version of this translation is:
"Does a foreigner love you?"

sagitttarius, again, it is not a question. If it was a question, than "fremmed" would have been placed after "elsker". Actually the form would be something like "elsker en fremmed deg?".

I don't agree with you. People who begin their sentence with a small letter, usually ignore punctuation marks as well, including question and exclamation marks (and articles). Actually, the stress should be not on "love" but on "foreigner"; therefore, the question should be like this: "Loves you a/the foreigner?" = "Elsker deg fremmed?" (An article, alas, is left out).

It is your choice to disagree. The Norwegian expert wil have the last word anyway. But I know some Danish and Norwegian is very alike and I'm pretty sure what I wrote is correct.

OK. The single point we agree.

As a rule, when people don't use the subject in phrases like that - elsker deg, savner deg, and so on-, it means that the subject is the 1st person.
And it's defenitely not a question.

The translation is :"love you stranger". We could add

"Jeg"

at the beginning to have a complete sentense and I agree with ieouraca about the consstruction of the sentence.

Well, seeing that my version seems to be correct, I'll take the opinions of you all as a kind of bridge. I'll do the translation required and set a poll.

Thank you very much.

Love you stranger

( it can be used both with or without the I in the front)
