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

lol

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.....

sorry. I must be giving you the wrong impression. they do not treat us as intelligent people. might be because there are so many who are not. However, they tend to drop words like that for those of us who want to learn. Of course, palatalisation is an exception. Since it is such an important part of Norwegian dialects. We do not learn the whole list of dento-lavial etc.

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...

you are quite correct. I wasn't even sure whether there was a word for it in English.

No...why??

I guide cruise-tourists in summer, very many of which are British.

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...

Not going through Molde would be very silly It is quite possible, of course, but they would miss out on a lot.
