      tid translates to time. Hour translates to time.

      Enjoy your aneurism.

      Another for you. In Denmark, we have bicycle traffic lights and they sometimes show you how long it'll take until the light is green. They say

      Tid til grøn

      Which is almost pronounced "til ti grøn"

      Always makes me laugh a little

        I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city keeping its speed over 50 and if it's speed dropped, it would explode. I think it was called "the bus that couldn't slow down"

                For those who might not know, this is the final scene from Finding Nemo. In English, it says "Fin", a fun pun.

                    It's the reverse of Norwegian where "tid" is pronounced "tea"(english) and "til" is pronounced between "teal"(English) and "till"(english). The "d" is silent.

                    But the Danish pronunciation is a little confusing because the d in tid is pronounced and is done so like an English "L", at least in this instance while the "L" is silent.

                      Ah. My suggestion of an aneurysm was commenting on how i wrote the reply, not necessarily the translations themselves.

                        In Sweden, we use the words "infart" and "utfart" to for entrance and exit respectively when using them in a car context.

                        Corresponding words in German would be Einfahrt and Ausfahrt.

                            While the word "speed" indeed is "fart" in Norwegian, the movie "Speed" was released as "Speed" in Norway.

                            The poster is photoshoped, as one easily can tell by the premiere date in the bottom of the poster. The date "June 10" would've been written as "10. juni" in Norway.

                            Today, most movies not primarily marketed for children are released with their English titles in Norway. And back when the movies were translated to Norwegian, the titles were often not direct translations. In fact, the Norwegian Wikipedia-article for Speed makes an interesting claim about the the 1975 Japanese movie Speed was based on. While known in Japan as "Shinkansen daibakuha", and as "The Bullet Train" in English speaking countries, the article claims that the Norwegian title was "Expressen er lastet med...... dynamitt!", directly translated as "The Express is loaded with... dynamite!". I can't find any sources to support this claim, but it does follow the norm of translated titles of the time.

                            Other translated Norwegian film titles include "Airplane!" as "Hjelp, vi flyr!" (Help, we are flying!), "Die Hard" as "Aksjon skyskraper" (Operation Skyscraper), and "Deliverance" as "Piknik med døden" (Picnic with Death).

                              I timestamped it at the relevant clip, but I HIGHLY recommend watching the rest as well! 😁

                                  To an English speaker it almost is, like I kinda said above?

                                  Perhaps a bad anecdote

                                      You've obviously neverheard of the illustrious 8th century Norwegian King, Eystein the Fart.
