• It’s not the fart that kills, it is the smäll [pronounced similar to ‘smell’]

    Fart=speed, Smäll=loud bang/sound of an impact/impact, hit

  • You might get stopped and fined by the police at a fartskontroll. You normally travel between continents by jetfart, however some might opt for ships on langfart. Moving around more locally, you’d navigate the streets at gangfart.

    • fartskontroll

      Fartkontroll, no s. Or hastighetskontroll.

      jetfart

      No such word. I’ve never heard of it; it’s not in our dictionary.

      langfart

      Hm? Maybe sjöfart?

      gangfart

      Gångfart, yes.

      Mostly when talking about travel speed though, you would say “hastighet”.

      • Fartkontroll, no s. Or hastighetskontroll

        In trafikksikkerhetshåndboken, chapter 8 section 1. Also, using “s” as a binder between two nouns is grammatically allowed for any nouns.

        No such word. I’ve never heard of it; it’s not in our dictionary.

        Yes it is, it’s in the Norwegian Academy dictionary

        Hm? Maybe sjöfart?

        Wait… Oh for goodness sakes, are you Swedish? No wonder you completely missed the mark, these are all Norwegian words. Sit down before you hurt yourself.

        • I figured you were trying to do Swedish since the post image only mentioned Swedish.

          Carry on. No need to sit or to be rude.

          • Sorry, just giving a swede a hard time because the opportunity presented itself. Don’t worry, I love you guys. ❤️🇳🇴🇸🇪

    • Not a very common phrase, but “slutfart” would mean “final speed”, it has probably been used in some physics problem or similar.

  • Can’t help but wonder about the equivalent for “speed” when used by Americans to refer to an amphetamine drug.

    • I think “ladd” is slang for amphetamines, probably from “laddning” ~ “charge”

    • Fort, hurtig, neseguff, turbosnus, pepper. Kjært barn har mange navn (a dear child has many names).
