Our language is undergoing a collapse, like half the vocabulary is getting replaced with american words and the grammar and phrases are getting more american too.

And it could hardly be considered "our own language" in the first place, with how much it is based on danish.

Norwegian slang is permeated by (American) English words. Fortunately our formal language isn't.

>>
>>52475038
>>52475043

Still... the language is descended from Old Norse... you can't really say it's based on Danish because both languages share a common root. It's true that Norwegian SPELLING is based on Danish, but not the language itself. Sorry to hear that American English makes such an impact... I suppose it's the 'classical latin' of our time, except any old moron can write something down and be widely read.
>>
>>52475038
>Our language is undergoing a collapse
hehe

>like half the vocabulary is getting replaced with american words
I disagree. When I speak really informally I frequently use English words and terms, but they rarely account for more than 10% of what I say.
When I speak formally I don't use English words at all.

>and the grammar and phrases are getting more american too.
Only in the informal language.

>And it could hardly be considered "our own language" in the first place, with how much it is based on danish.
That's just bokmål. Our spoken dialects are quite different from Danish.
>>
>>52475038
> with how much it is based on danish.

>>
>>52475168
If you go deep into it, the language is much more Norwegian than Danish, with mostly Norwegian syntax and phonology. But a big part of the language is shaped by Danish. I say Norwegian is relexified Norwegian, where the vocabulary and the endings are Danish, but they are organized in a mostly Norwegian way. So at its core, yes Norwegian, but it's far from proper Norwegian.

>>52475171
The informal language is what people use. When people need to read dictionaries to learn Norwegian words, which children of the future will have to, the words don't have any real life.

>>52478023
I have no idea about the quality but art scenes certainly exist in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. And I doubt you even looked into what happens in Oslo city.

If you live in a nice area of the city you got rid of the niggers, and they're still everywhere in public transport. Those areas are expensive as fuck (either a small apartment or you need a 6 figure salary) how often do you go and enjoy the art scene? It makes more sense to take a train in and spend a day in the city than to live in some shit apartment hearing everything your neighbors do.

You're genuinely retarded if you think only cities have good restaurants

We are not a real city, thank you very much. If you want real cities in CA try SF or to a lesser extent SD.

You know how the South part of the Bay area is sort of like an extended suburb of SF? LA is kind of like that except we don't have an SF we are organized around. It's just a vast expanse of bland semiurban Latino-Jewish banality with no real culture that isn't hidden and exclusive. It is pretty comfy and has nice geography, but don't ever mistake it for a city.
