Norsk/Norwegian

•En Kopp - [Masculine] a cup

•Ei brødskive- [feminine] a (slice of) bread

• Et rundstykke - [neutral] a roll

* in Norwegian a female word can be male. You can say “en brødskive” instead of “ei brødskive” but a male word can not be female. *

Like most languages you need to memorize what words are masculine, feminine or neutral. There is no hard fast rool to help determine this.

French and Norwegian Cognate Words

As I mentioned in a previously, while I was making my Easter post (giving both the Norwegian and the French word for “Easter”) I realized that the Norwegian word Påske and the French word Pâques are cognate. This gave me a few questions, mainly why are two words from separate language groups (a Germanic and a Romance language) cognate yet the word for the same thing, Easter, in English is cognate with neither? English is a Germanic language with many loan words from romance languages, especially French.

First let’s clear a few things up. For those who don’t know, cognate essentials mean that both words have the same etymological origin, and or they come from the same root word.

We can tell by looking at Påske and Pâques that they obviously look similar, and that’s what made me first start to think about it. We also know that in French the “â” (A with a circumflex) means that in the past the letter used to be followed by an “s”. Like “Bâton” was once “Baston”. So this further points to these two words being cognate/related.

Påske and Pasques (Old French).

Sorry babe, we ain’t a Romance language

(While English does have a heavy French influence due to the Norman French dominance in England around 1066. English still retains more similarities with Germanic languages in Grammar and the core vocabulary remains Germanic)

Aka why Norwegian is one of the easiest languages for a native English speaker to learn.

The remains of a 1,200-year-old pagan temple to the Old Norse gods has been discovered in Norway’s seaside town of Ose. It is the first such temple found in the country, though we know what it is based on surviving temples in Denmark and Sweden. The wooden building is large for the time, about 45 feet (14 meters) long, 26 feet (8 m) wide, and up to 40 feet (12 m) high. Archaeologists think it was built sometime in the 700s, and would have been the site of sacrifices (and more mundane religious observances) during the midsummer and midwinter solstices.

The Norse began building these large “god houses” in the 500s CE. They replaced simpler cult sites, often outdoors, that had previously sufficed for worship. Larger god houses became popular as Norse society became more stratified and dominated by wealthy families, who are thought to have built god houses as part of their taking control of the cults of the gods.

The Old Norse religion was suppressed from the 1000s, when Norway’s kings forcibly imposed the Christian religion, and destroyed god houses to enforce worship in the new Christian churches. Perhaps including the one at Ose. (The one above is a reconstruction, the real site has only the foundations remaining.)
