Norge har spill veldig god.

That's probably a ham-fisted way of saying it, but I'm trying.

[Freddeno]

pass on the edge of the box to hard, he should have just pegged it up to shoot

Where do those "t"s come from? Indicating past tense?

[Freddeno]

[Alan]

As long as I can get my point across I'm happy enough for now. Languages are a struggle for me.

Alan, you really don't want to get bogged down in the vagaries of linguistics :icon_lol:

Unless you're planning in attaining formal qualifications in a language - or like me, you're someone who can do nothing but languages, and hence makes it his business to understand them in as forensic detail as possible - then so long as you mostly understand structure and grammar it's all good. Vocab and immersion are more important than understanding why something is the way it is, at least to start with. Moving from one language (English) which has virtually no definable rules to languages where there are very different and much more rigid bases is one of the key things that puts people off after they've had a quick dabble.

And back to the football...

Oh, I agree, definitely.

And sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread!

spilt - yes,past tense
god/godt is ruled by he/she=god/it(the play)=godt (we/they=gode)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hey, I'll talk linguistics all day. But probably not on this thread

 

[Banjo]

Coleman has dropped a bollock playing this ridiculous formation today.

 

[Freddeno]
