    Where is this and how would you pronounce the “g”?

    Also, you made me think about a story about a shop in a southern Norwegian city, where the owner put up a sign around lunch time: “e æ a å eder” (I am off to eat), the shop owner across the street saw it and made his own sign saying “e æ a e å” (I am off as well (lit. I am off I also))

      It’s North Jutland. The g is pronounced as “ge” almost like German “geh”.

      I’m not native, and even after 15 years I sometimes still don’t understand the local dialect.

      The Norwegian Kamelåså joke about Danish is funny because its true.
