Jeg liker denne sangen

Den er litt stereotypisk, med damen som vil stifte familie og mannen som vil drikke øl. Men den gjør fortsatt litt av det jeg vil med ikke-partnerskap¹ og litt både "jeg vil ikke ha (tradisjonell) familie" og "jeg vil ikke være sammen med deg".

1. jeg har ikke særlig mange ord for "non-amory", noen ideer var uamori(sk), ikke-amori. Jeg vurderte å bytte til "non-partnering", men jeg vet ikke om noe ord for "partnering", så da må jeg finne på det også. jeg vurderte"partnererende" men det høres ikke bra ut, "ikke-partnerskap" var det Google Translate ga meg.

Norwegian LGBTQ+ terminology - Norske LHBT+/skeive uttrykk

Ok, so a bit late for the native language day, but I thought I’d make a Norwegian LGBTQ+ terminology list. Some of these can be found in academia, some in dictionaries, some only within queer circles.

Skeiv is a word we came up with in activist circles. I’d just like to point that out, as I’ve seen some people spread misinformation about it. It has never been a slur.

After the demedicalisation of non-straight orientations, we rejected the sex-suffix, and moved on to philia, meaning love.

Anyway, here’s some relevant terms:

Homofil - gay

Bifil - bi

Lesbisk - lesbian

Transkjønnet - transgender

Ciskjønnet - cisgender

Transperson - trans person

Ikke-binær - non-binary

Interseksualitet (noun, m)- intersexuality

Hen (quasipronoun) - singular they

LHBT+ (acronym) - LGBT+

Skeiv (adj) - Umbrella term, often translated to queer

Kjæreste (noun, f/m) - gender neutral form of bf/gf

Forhold (noun, n) - relationship

Ekteskap (noun, n) - marriage

Skeivkamp (noun, m) - queer struggle

Bevegelse (noun, m) - movement

Afil - aroace, asexual, aromantic

Aseksuell - asexual

Aromantisk - aromantic

Panfil - pan

Heterofil - hetero

Streit (adj) - straight

Legning (noun, m) - orientation

Tiltrekning (noun, m) - attraction

Romantisk (adj) - romantic

Seksualitet (noun, m) - sexuality

Samleie (noun, n)- sexual intercourse

Date (noun, m) - date

Stevnemøte (noun, n) - date

Kjønnsidentitet  (noun, m)- gender identity

Juridisk kjønn (noun, n) - gender marker

Femi (adj) - fem/femme/effeminate

Å komme ut - to come out

Pride parade (noun, m) - pride parade

Skeive dager (noun, p) - pride week (literally “queer days”)

Stolt (adv) - pride

Polyamori (noun) - polyamory

Tokjønnsystemet (noun) - the gender binary

Fetisj (noun, m) - fetish

Words ending with -fil are adjectives.

Note for the nouns: m - masculine, n - neutral, f - feminine.

Some words should be avoided, some of those are considered derogatory, such as l*sbe, h*mse, and transe. Never call anyone “bøg”, this is very derogatory.

Take some of these translations with a grain of salt, and keep in mind I might have made some mistakes here and there. Overall, these words are all pretty established.

To read more, check out Skeive fra A-Å and also Lhbti-ordlista.

Ha en god dag! Hilsen, Lykke, din lokale skeive venn.

I kinda want to figure out exactly what aro community terms/movements would be like in Norwegian.

off the top of my head there's

loveless

lovequeer

heartless

loveloose

amatopunk

relationship anarchy

I don't have a full idea of all these terms, I do think loveless and lovequeer probably are the most used ones. And I've seen people use loveless to mean different things (both not using love to describe yourself/your experiences and the seemingly basic idea that love doesn't make you human/isn't the whole point)

one thing here is that as a Norwegian I've only heard of this idea that "love is what makes you human" through aro communities. I assume it's a U.S. thing, but feel free to correct me if that's inaccurate.

In Norwegian one very relevant things on the topic of these communities, particularly relationship anarchy is that the word for boyfriend/girlfriend/enbyfriend is "kjæreste" which directly translates to "dearest", which may have some implications (I don't know that most people think about it, but one can see it). At least it's gender neutral.

I'll translate some more relationship, romantic and other arguably relevant terms for y'all.

forhold: relationship (any type, pretty much same usage as English afaik)

vennskap: friendship (venn -skap)

venn: friend

vennine: friends who are girls (mainly used by older folks, definitely in use)

kamerat: friends who are boys (same as previous)

klassekamerat: classmate. Uses boy version for people of all genders. usage is just like in English.

platonisk: platonic. I think it's taken from English. used a bit more rarely than in English.

type: slang for boyfriend. (also used as slang meaning "for example"/"such as")

dame: slang for girlfriend (also means lady/woman).

kjæreste: partner/gf/bf/nbf etc. literally means "dearest".

kj: abbreviation for "kjæreste", sometimes pronounced like K.J.

kjære deg: literally "dear you", sometimes said when trying to calm someone down. doesn't imply anything about a relationship, can even be used in a demeaning way. Can be used with partners too.

kjære: dear. like in English.

å holde noen kjær: caring about someone. includes romance, doesn't necessarily imply it. implies closeness (e.g. familial, platonic)

ektemann/mann: husband. literally means real + man. might have some implications on masculinity

kone: wife

kjærlighet: love (noun).

forelskelse/å forelske seg i noen: falling in love/to fall in love with someone. (for-elske)

å elske: to love, used about anything really, can be said platonically, carries more weight than liking something or someone

å like: to like, not really used about people in the same way as you would say you're "forelsket" in/with them. otherwise like English.

friendzone: friendzone is used as slang.

I guess I could add familial terms too, since I'm bored:

mor: mother

mamma: mom/mommy

far: father

Pappa: dad/daddy

søster: sister

bror: brother/bro

broder: bro (also used in religious context I think)

søsken: siblings (plural). you can technically say "et søsken", but it's not used much

mormor: maternal grandmother (mother's mother)

morfar: maternal grandfather (mother's father)

farmor: paternal grandmother (father's mother)

farfar: paternal grandfather (father's father)

bestemor: grandmother (usually used in place of either mormor or farmor depending on family)

bestefar: grandfather (same as previous)

kusine: girl cousin

fetter: boy cousin

tante: aunt

onkel: uncle

I'm not even trying the rest, idk what "søskenbarn", "niese" or "third cousin twice removed" means.

obviously language may be different different places in Norway and this is just what I could think of. Also, I've not lived anywhere English speaking just so that's said.

To be clear this is all Bokmål, there are some differences in Nynorsk (e.g. syster), but I think you can use most if not all these (excluding slang) there too.

[aromantisk-fagforening]

It's nice to see an aroace norwegian every once in a while. Was searching the interwebs and found this article, in Nynorsk even.

[aromantisk-fagforening]

listening to this song makes me feel sad that I was like missing a couple words in my Norwegian relationships (friends, romance and family). Alas, it's impossible to include all slang ever.

(summed up: we're great friends, bros. We're really close, would do anything together including sharing money and inheritance. Don't abandon me or make a move on my gf.)

I'll quickly translate some words here anyway though

bestevenn: best friend

brusjan/brosjan: I think it's slang for bro/brother, but generally it refers to a close friend.

brur: brother in Nynorsk

arguably relevant:

å arve: to inherit (used about money in song, also used about genetics)

other usage of brosjan

(summed up: I believe in my bro Jesus, he's my bestie, my brother, everyone praise him)

translated to English here

(summed up: me and my fellow immigrant (musicians?) are best friends, brothers forever even though we're from different countries and they're more popular than me now)

bror fra en annen mor: brother from another mother

prev post btw:

unrelated to the songs, but relevant to relationships and stuff:

giftemål: marriage

gift: the state of being married or poison (noun) (they are married: de er gift. They have poison: de har gift. they have gotten married: de har blitt gift. They have been poisoned: de har blitt forgiftet.)

familie: family

vennegjeng: friend group (friend gang)

bestis: bestie/best friend

venn: friend

venne (seg) til: get used to (just for the comparison)

venne (seg) av: stop doing/experiencing (just for the comparison)

beste venn for alltid: best friend forever (sometimes used, bff is also used)

foreldre: parents

besteforeldre: grandparents (there are no mother's mother type variants here afaik)

bedre halvdel: better half (at least we don't have significant other I guess..)

[aromantisk-fagforening]

hva er favorittnettstedene dine?

hmm.

det jeg egentlig bruker nettet til mest er oppslagsverk, så da kommer jeg på

wikipedia.org (norsk og engelsk)

snl.no (inkl. sml.snl.no, og den biografiske)

Britannica.com

ellers, uhm.

archive.com (the internet archive). den er veldig flott. Jeg har lånt en bok der før lol

nb.no !! Nasjonalbiblioteket (norskt, så klart), det er masse gratise bøker og tidsskrifter der, tilgjengelige selv på nettet

bora.uib.no - åpent bibliotek av bachelor-, master - og doktorgradsoppgaver.

de er vel litt i samme sjanger fortsatt...

før likte jeg godt kizi.com - for å spille spill.

også er det noen jeg liker, selv om brukergrensesnittet er litt dårligere enn det helst burde vært

https://azejournal.com/ - aro (aromantisk), ace (aseksuell), agender (intetkjønn ?) journal. de har noen ganske kult formaterte ting der. sånn, jeg så en artikkel med

blikk.no - jeg har ikke lest så mye i den (fordi søkefunksjonen er like dårlig som om ikke værre enn Tumblr sin), men sånn, juhu, en skeiv tidsskrift som er norsk!

litt bedre, men kom på den nå siden den også er skeiv

aroworlds.com - nettsiden til forfatteren K A Cook. det er gratise bøker!! jeg har bare lest sånn en da. som du sikkert kan gjette fra tittelen er både forfatteren (ze/hir) og bøkene aromantiske. aroallo spesifikt, hvertfall vanligvis

vent jeg har faktisk noen forskjellige!

blank.page - en måte å skrive på der du starter med en blank side (tror ikke den har lagring). jeg har brukt den før også bare kopiert til notisblokken på maskinen.

alternativeto.com - praktisk nettside for å fine ting til å erstatte andre ting med.

tokipona.org - samleside for ting som handler om å lære toki pona.

musikk-greier (les: Spotify greier, sorry)

obscurifymusic.com - statistikk 😎

chosic.com - bra verktøy til å lage spillelister med. og i tillegg til å finne ut ting om spillelistene dine

jeg er også veldig glad i pixabay.com fordi det er trivelig å kunne skaffe bilder. for eksempel av tigre, det er viktig. svært viktig.

dette ble kanskje litt langt, og litt her og der, men det er forhåpentligvis bra da.

[et-afilt-individ]

ugift er vel også et ord, men det er jo mindre bredt.

dessuten betyr det bare ut du ikke er gift, og sier ingenting om du har lyst til å gifte deg

Jeg liker denne sangen

Den er litt stereotypisk, med damen som vil stifte familie og mannen som vil drikke øl. Men den gjør fortsatt litt av det jeg vil med ikke-partnerskap¹ og litt både "jeg vil ikke ha (tradisjonell) familie" og "jeg vil ikke være sammen med deg".
