I've never been as far as Norway but have travelled in Denmark and Sweden many years ago and assumed as the language was similar so to would be the people, but not quite so. The Swedes were delightful towards me on most occasions but not all. They've got a weird thing about adherence to 'regulations' there for some reason. Now the Danes on the other hand treated me kindly on every occasion. Strangers invited me into their homes to stay for free and one family took me on a tour of Copenhagen to see the sights with a group of their friends. We went to the harbour, saw old buildings and then they took me to a gigantic beer factory called Carlsberg, they let me go first in line to show my passport to the doorman and say were all together after which we then had a tour and full on day drinking endless Carlsberg and elephant beer that never stopped coming along with cheese snacks, nuts and crisp breads. Yip the Danes win, they show greatest hospitally always and are very clever in doing it. (a win, win situation and all for free)

LOL @pic. Actually thought Feoh meant Sheep, since, Får is Danish/Swedish/Norwegian for Sheep, it also means to get/receive in Danish/Norwegian/Swedish and in centain instances 'may' (as for 'may i'). So automatically presumed that it originated from Icelandic or Faroese which still has the Norse vibe to them.

Another interesting language lesson. I got the first one a tiny bit right then mostly bummed out. I thought the it was~  I've 26 fowl beside my house. I guess todays take away is Feoh is not fowl because it means Cow - lots of them causing Feoh to mean Geld.
