norwegian is quite weird lol

do you think Norwegian is a hard language to learn? I find myself pretty good at pronunciation in the languages I learn but like grammar wise?????? am interested

well it depends on what type of language you start off with. Norwegian is problematic because we do really differentiate between about 18 vowel sounds and it does matter. We also have (for most dialects) quite a lot of retroflex sounds. and Norwegian has tone language tendencies but the difference isn't present in all dialects. phonologically speaking Norwegian is .. maybe problematic to some speakers. English natives will struggle with some consonant clusters while Russians likely won't.
grammar wise norwegian is quite stripepd? we don't have much difference and not many tenses and in general inflections. we do have the passive for verbs tho but it's pretty easy to explain (basically it has to be present or present-like and you just add -s on the infinite form of the verb)
er.. we don't inflect for person on verbs.

substantives are a bit more chaotic tho.

hmmmmm so like exact opposite of Turkish? I think it's really easy to write, spell and pronounce Turkish when you get just a bit familiar but the grammar is fucked for real
anyways gon hit yall Norwegian speakers up if I ever decide to learn for real hehe

Yeah, but I mean I'm 21 and I've been called Luna since I was 12

Also my previous name isn't my birth name either since my mom changed my birth name when I was 4 or so. So Name1 1999-2003, Name2 2003-2011 (officially 2017 tho) and Luna 2011-2020

It was very annoying to go through the whole process as since my mom already changed my name I had to pay for my name change and also give a long explanation why I wanted to changed it "again" even though I was literally 4 so it wasn't my decision???? I actually like my birth name, why tf did she have to change it

woah you've had many different names then

why did she change it at such a young age lol like suddenly at 4 she was like nope that's not her name

my first name is madelaine
i like it, but people never know how to spell it

also i have four really long names (originally had 5, removed one lol)
so my name is too long for documents, cant fit it in my id so its just the first letters of my first three names, and then the last name

my combined names letter count would be 44 if i didnt remove one lmao

possibly yeah

You can have a sentence like:
Lise loser lyse lus
(Lise ish-pilots?? light lice)
Which a lot of non-natives will struggle with because y/u/i is very similar to them while for us they are as distinct as s and b
