Many moons ago, there was a place where Scandinav conlangers could go to schmooze.
Is this that place? Or did that list go the way of all things?
While I'm here...I stumbled online upon a children's book in Danish about trees. In
the intro, there's the phrase, "...indskød Mikkel." ("remarked Mikkel."). The
question:
indskyde, skød, skudt for "remark"
I found in Swedish
inskjuta, sköt, skjutit for "insert"
can I use this with the meaning of "remark"?
does this even exist in Norwegian?
innskyte, skjøt, skutt
in any meaning whatsoever? ("interject/inject?")
Too, Danish and Norwegian have "begynde/begynne" for "begin"
while I found only "begynnelsebokstav" in the Swedish dictionary.
Would "begynna" be possible at all, or too quaint and twee compared to "börja"?
Tack så mycket,
Kou
