Just reblogging this because Mr’s mom is “Farmor” and this is the first time I’ve seen it in the wild.

Lots of enthusiasm for the seaplane operating between Copenhagen and Aarhus on the balcony during Queen Margrethe II of Denmark’s 83rd birthday celebrations on 16 April 2023 ✨🛩

your card declines at therapy so they bring out the father figure character that had a tragic death protecting the main character who's never had a father figure before them

mum gave my cats a christmas gift and indirectly misgendered me on the label because grandmother in swedish is either mother's mother – mormor – or father's mother – farmor – and she wrote that it was from the former ":)"

Tror ni att någon gång i framtiden, så är det Bamse som gör dunderhonungen och Nalle-Maja som är välrdens starkaste björn ?

Idag på Yle Österbotten de pratade om alger som har växt i några finska sjöar efter den varma våren/sommaren. Och jag förstår inte riktigt hur farlig dena algerna är men radiopratare (?) nämnade explicit Larsmo & även Fagernäs som "hotspots"

@theluckydimecaper is right, they appear to be Norwegian Girl Scout cookies. (/Gender Neutral Scout Cookies)

Here's the link to the cookies in question. If you click on "Bestill en gratis infopakke," you can order a free information packet about how to begin selling them yourself! (I don't know if they'd send an info packet overseas, but hey, maybe they're looking to expand into the GSA turf?)

help me norwegians of tumblr

my neighbor gave me a box of these cookies for christmas that she got from (weird rambling story i only half remember) and we were so overwhelmed with baked goods that i threw most of them out and i am regretting it because yum. what are they called and where can i get more?

We'll never get to enjoy her pinnekjøtt or cooking again

Who would win between a toddler having a tantrum and a grown man with intense rejection sensitivity dysphoria?

Look at that a random attempt at a comic appeared along with a slight adjustment to Åse's grandpas design. His name is Torbjørn if you don’t remember. I wanted him to look more like a Norwegian forest cat and gave him a more straight nose and triangular face. Also some more softer fur shapes, even if he is somewhat unapproachable on the outside he's very soft and sweet on the inside. And lastly his first design was pure red with a dark nose but weegies don't come in tha color, so instead i made him amber which is exlusive to the Norwegian forest cat breed.

He is the kind of grandpa (or dad for that matter) that hated doing things that make kids sad or mad at him. Even if its silly stuff, like not getting a cookie before dinner. He is the most permissible out of all the adults in Åse's life growing up. He just cant say no to his little Tulla. ''Tulla'' or ''Tulla mi'' (my Tulla) is a nickname for a little girl that probbly derives from the word tulle which means joking or silly.

Åse calls his grandpa Morfar and his grandma Mormor. It just means Motherfather and Mothermother, and is just a way to reffer to your grandparents on your moms side. The equivalent for your dads side Farfar and Farmor. She also sometimes called him Bamse which is another word for teddy bear.

Torbjørn is whittling a Willow flute.

for all my people whose native language doesn’t have two different words for grandma, grandpa, uncle, and aunt depending on which side of the family they’re from. (Like in Swedish grandma is mormor if it is your mother’s mom. But farmor if it is your father’s mom). HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO TELL WHICH SIDE SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT????

As someone whose native languages are Swedish and English. That shit still confuses me. It confused me as a child. It confuses me now.

like if someone says “I visited my aunt last weekend” do you just gamble on which side that aunt might belong to?

Edit: I know about maternal and paternal. But those are not used in informal conversations. In English at least

Gordon Ramsay: God fucking christ, what is wrong with these biscuits?

Bamse: Det är pepparkakor. Jag har bakat dem efter farmors recept.

Gordon knackar en papparkaksgubbe i Bamses köksvägg. Den solida stenen ger vika och lämnar ett litet hål.

Gordon Ramsay: Bloody hell, you could smash someone's skull in with this thing.

Bamse: Ingen blir snäll av stryk.
