Well, Norwegian is closer to Dutch than Swedish and Danish are. Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/04/2011 07:33:22 PM
Is it?

It probably isn't closer to Dutch than it is to Swedish and Danish.
It could be that we have had a tradition of resisting latin-derived words.

We don't, so much... well, compared to English, but that isn't saying much.

"Muckefuck" sounds to me like "Schmutzenficken" sounds to you. Tom - 11/04/2011 11:26:21 PM 400 Views

Haha. How are you supposed to pronounce it? Vivien - 11/04/2011 10:36:16 PM 441 Views
Moockefoock, though with short "oo"s. I'm guessing it's more the spelling that's funny. *NM* Legolas - 11/04/2011 10:59:37 PM 206 Views
Sort of like "book" for both "u"s and with a short "uh" sound for the "e". Tom - 11/04/2011 11:22:55 PM 357 Views
