Dean Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I did Japanese at school for 4 years. Didn't do it this year as there wasn't enough numbers to run a class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Okay, I officially give up, I need help with a word. I've tried finding a translation from Norwegian (I feel like I should know the English word for it in the first place, this is embarrassing) but apparently the word can mean a number of different things in Norwegian, so none of the English translations is translating the use of the word I'm looking for. Basically what I'm talking about is what we in Norwegian call "brist", an injury close to being a bone fracture. It's not like the bone is broken, but it's still some damage to it, like it's partially broken, but because it's not a complete fracture it's not as big an injury, and usually you just have to like not go crazy and over-use the body part you've injured until it heals. It's quite commonly happening to ribs. I'm thinking in English every kind of bone fracture might just be called a bone fracture, and that this is just referred to as an incomplete fracture or something, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it's sort of a fracture, but the bone is not broken. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel&kim Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 All I can think of is a hairline fracture. Which is basically just a tiny tiny fracture that will heal on it's own as long as you don't move it around too much. That's the only thing I can think of that's between a sprain and a break. Don't know if that's what you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 It probably is, cause it is kind of a fracture, but it's not a complete fracture, the bone is not broken, but it's not a sprain either. Thanks for replying, I guess I have a hairline fractured rib then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieL Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 ^^ I know it's a bit late. But here it can be referred to as a cracked rib, as well as a fracture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsan Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Anyone wanna learn Swedish? In that case I'm here for you. Även om du inte vill det! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I love Swedish! I don't live very far away from the border, so I understand Swedish way better than I understand Danish, and I remember growing up I always used to watch Swedish children's programmes like "Vi på Saltkråkan", "Emil i Lönneberga" and "Pippa Långstrump" And we still sometimes travel across the border to buy chicken and christmas ham (we're such stereotype Norwegians when it comes to that ). I think I could speak Swedish... Kinda... I'd probably make some mistakes, but mostly I think I'd get it right. But written Swedish... Not so much all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whispered_envy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I wish I had found this thread earlier! The other day, I was writing a story where one of the characters spoke Italian, and I don't speak one word of Italian! I managed to figure it out by myself though.
