no. different dialects. close by, though
I thought it would be a bit odd, but then, no more than in german, where a cow is feminine, and a girl neuter....

sure. actually, they try to teach us that in school. and no, it is not as interesting as it sounds. you are taught in which parts they use palatalisation, in which parts there is something called "kløyvd infinitiv" etc. etc. I can hear somebody talk and at least pinpoint them to region, if not exact city. My parents are better at it, though.
lol....that sounds really interesting to me...I really am insane evidently. I get the impression your education system actually treats you as intelligent people...the word palatinisation would never occur before university....I would garuantee it... So many people come out of compulsory education only just knowing what an adjective is.....
What is the _kløyvd infinitiv_?? I would guess it is a split infinitive, since it sounds like _cleaved infinitive_, but I am probably completely out...

Hmm... might have something to do with us being subjected to a very abrupt change in common language under the danish. Don't know if Austria has anything like that?

That is true....I suppose the whole Norwegian language system has a quite unique history. I did not think of it.

they have? when? they did not come on a cruise-boat, did they?No...why??
They just do, every couple of years, a drive up through Sweden to Nordkapp, and then back down the coast of Norway, over a long period of time..

I just guessed Molde would be challenging not to go through if you were going right along the coast. I don't know...its all just places on maps to me. I don't know where the roads go exactly...
