2017 Is The Year Of Skincare And Communication

Compliment people. If you think a good thing about someone, there’s no harm in saying it aloud.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

hi! do you know any Norwegian phrases / words to call your significant other? :) my girlfriend loves Norwegian and I'd like to surprise her!

Hey there! c: Here’s a short list of common endearments!

As for common phrases, maybe something like:

“Jeg er glad i deg” - “I love you” (used towards friends, family, and also your significant other if your relationship is rather fresh or you’re both very young etc.)

“Jeg elsker deg” - “I love you” (only used towards your significant other if you’re in a pretty serious and long-lasting relationship - also occasionally used towards family, though I personally find this quite uncommon)

“Du er det vakreste jeg vet” - “You’re the most beautiful thing/person I know” (lit. “You’re the most beautiful I know”)

“Du er så pen/kjekk” - “You’re so pretty/handsome”

Though if there’s a specific phrase you want me to translate, shoot me another ask! c:
