By the way, did you use a translator for that? If so, this is not a good translation, showing that these translators miss the nuances, expressions and so forth when translating from one language to another.

Nei, jeg brukte ikke oversettelse eller hjelp i det hele tatt. Fordi jeg veit at oversettelsen fra norsk til engelsk stort sett aldri blir helt bra. Den skjÞnner ÞrsmÄ skjÞnnheter og ÞrsmÄ nyanser rimelig dÄrlig. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Ok, jeg tenkte du skjĂžnte at “The Good Book” kan bety mer enn den goda boka pĂ„ norsk. Du fikser jo engelsk greit.

Spurte bare fordi dette er noe jeg av og til tenker pÄ. Alle sprÄkene som som medlemmene av forumet snakker, og alle misforstÄelsene det fÞrer til, med medfÞlgende drama. Dette er noe vi bÞr vÊre bevisst.

Hva gjÞr nÄ vÄr kjÊre globus med det jeg har skrevet her? Jeg er spent! :smiley:

Absolutt. Jeg er ogsÄ klar over det. SÄ jeg tenkte vel da at man mÄ ta det litt enkelt rett fram og ikke for komplisert og delt. Nettopp for Ä unngÄ type nyanserte misforstÄelser og feller som du er inne pÄ. Og jeg er helt enig i din vurdering her. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Jeg skjÞnte alt du skreiv helt hundre prosent meningsfylt og riktig. Ingen sprÄklige feil i det hele tatt her. Det er jo fint Ä se. :slight_smile:

It translated the last part. Ingen sprÄklige feil i det hele tatt her. That came out as: No linguistic errors at all here. It is nice to see. I would have used that`s nice to see. But it is fair enough.

Back to English then :smiley:

As a non-native English speaker, still pretty well versed in the language, I for one ought to be aware of that. Then again, I am quite familiar with a lot of puns, expressions and nooks and crannies in English. So when the Brits here get going, I sometimes can’t help it. Shame on me :joy: :joy: :joy:

But wtf, at the end of the day it’s just for fun :innocent: :sweat_smile:

I have to admit that I sometimes laugh myself to death with the visible resemblance between norwegian and english. This is a thing which is coloured by the fact that I am norwegian and can assess things in a different way because of it. But the resemblance is clearly visible to me. :slight_smile:

Well apart from the Nordic languages (except Finnish, of course), there are two languages that are much closer to Norwgian than English, namely German and Dutch. Still English is the language we know, so it’s natural we see the similarities more easy.

Anyway, (almost) all the European languages are related. I guess it goes back to Latin and Greek, then shaken and stirred with the local lingo :stuck_out_tongue:

It is being said that dutch is very similar. But I have to say I seriously struggle pretty big time with dutch. Just my honest view. :wink: :heart_eyes:

He he, I don’t speak a word of Dutch, but it still sound so bloody familiar when I hear it :joy:

The first time I click on the history of a post, it shows me this, and it stays on the screen.

The next time I click on the history of a post, it flashes like you described, except it’s more like nanoseconds, instead of moments.

:memo: Note: I had to post this here because when I tried to quote you in the other topic, it wanted me to create a new topic, instead of a new post.

if I may say my opinion I think that a user like @Randi261074 a character who always posts pictures even if he doesn’t have a subscription and he does it without bothering
 :hugs: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The system at this rhythm in five minutes in an hour in 3 hours is a waste of time it’s torture & I’m not talking about me
 I’m talking in general. I think it’s right that every member should have 50 likes or 100 likes in 24 hours or let the likes go & anyone who wants to upload pictures let them upload, or have only Apartment discussion
I think it’s something that members spends their time but also they have to knows what they can do with their time

I absolutely looove tomatoes! Did you know they were once considered to be poisonous, especially in Northern Europe?

The idea that tomatoes were once thought to be poisonous, especially in Europe, is a mix of fact and legend. Here’s the background:

  1. European Suspicion: When tomatoes were first introduced to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, they were met with suspicion. The tomato is part of the Solanaceae family, which includes deadly plants like belladonna (also called deadly nightshade). Because of this association, many Europeans were wary of tomatoes, believing they might be dangerous to eat.

  2. Wealthy Class and Pewter Plates: One popular story is that wealthy Europeans who ate tomatoes off pewter plates often became sick or even died. This was because pewter, a common metal used in tableware at the time, contained high levels of lead. Tomatoes, being acidic, would leach lead from the plates, causing lead poisoning. Because of this, tomatoes gained a reputation for being deadly, particularly among the upper class, though the actual culprit was the lead, not the tomatoes themselves.

  3. Botanical Confusion: Additionally, there was confusion about whether the tomato was a fruit or vegetable, and its novel appearance may have contributed to fear. The red color was sometimes associated with danger or poison.

  4. Tomatoes in Italy: While northern Europeans were wary of tomatoes, the southern Europeans, particularly in Italy, adopted them more quickly into their cuisine, helping to dispel the myth over time. By the 18th century, tomatoes were becoming an integral part of Mediterranean dishes.

So while tomatoes themselves are not poisonous, early misunderstandings about their family association and reactions to lead poisoning contributed to the myth that they were dangerous to eat.

Also, tomatoes are not vegetables.

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit because it develops from the ovary of a flower and contains seeds. More specifically, it’s classified as a berry because it forms from a single ovary and has fleshy parts.

However, in culinary terms, tomatoes are often considered a vegetable because they are used in savory dishes rather than sweet ones. This distinction led to a famous U.S. Supreme Court case in 1893, Nix v. Hedden, where the court ruled that tomatoes should be classified as a vegetable for tariff purposes due to their common use in meals.

So, while scientifically a fruit, tomatoes are treated as vegetables in the kitchen!
