I Am A Delight

Old queer trans woman from Norway. Mainly post in English. I write stuff sometimes. Expect bad jokes. Girls and cats are nice.


I have talked before about how Norwegian dialects sometimes use different words to the official written language, so I thought of a couple of summer-related pests as examples.

English: Wasp.
Norsk (Bokmål): Veps.
Norsk (Pekaill): Kvæks.

They are pronounced in a similar tone, but otherwise...

English: Tick.
Norsk (Bokmål): Flått.
Norsk (Pekaill): Påt.

Pronounced in a similar tone to båt (boat), but the å is more drawn out.
