Bjørvika-utbygging


Tydeligvis er ikke alle like fornøyde med Bjørvika-utbyggingen

English: Appearantly are not everyone as pleased with the ongoing construction work in Bjørvika/The seaside of Oslo.

The first signs of Spring










The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
~Robert Frost


Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer. ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth


To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. ~George Santayana


First a howling blizzard woke us,
Then the rain came down to soak us,
And now before the eye can focus -
Crocus. ~Lilja Rogers


In springtime, love is carried on the breeze. Watch out for flying passion or kisses whizzing by your head. ~Terri Guillemets

Har du tatt Oschlo-testen?

Test hvilken Oslo-dialekt du har
Er du "vestkant", "østkant", "urban Oslo" eller "gatesmart"?

Ta testen på Aftenpostens side her: http://www.aftenposten.no/kul_und/article3569012.ece


Hvordan dialekt har Mira Craig mon tro, "urban Oslo" kanskje?

Det er interessant hvordan måten vi snakker på varierer i Oslo, mulig forskjellene er mindre nå enn før?
Dette skal undersøkes nærmere, les mer om tema her: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article3599143.ece

Noen ord-ekempler:
Vestkant: Har skrevet, har vunnet, avisen, ben, banan
Østkant: Har skrivi, har vinni, avisa, bein, bannan (med trykk på første stavelse)
Ungdomsslang: Wolla (love/sverge ved Allah), lættis (latterkrampe, komisk), keeg (nerd(ete)), digg (kult/bra), taz (dårlig), lø (dårlig/teit), chill (kult/morsomt)


Jeg tok testen og ble tradisjonell vest. :) Hva ble du?
