Aww yeah... Who wouldn't fancy a nice plate full of http://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&q=m%C3%A4mmi&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&biw=1139&bih=967&sei=nBogT5DOO_Tc4QTR5tyUDw.

(Actually, looking at the search results, I'm pretty sure someone has snuck in a couple of non-food objects. )

It is.

Housecarl is the correct contemporary English translation of húskarl.

Haha, well. I can't top that, but I think that either http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqfngoFM6hBmAiSLwjE_hBGlWKT6aKdayat7yunsJ3cywmiFZ2elT-pwkn or http://nrkp3.no/pia/wp-content/upload/Smalahove-hi.jpg is the closest we come.

I don't care what they are called, as long as they carry my stuff

Also "jarl" means "earl" in old norse

I think most people got that, it's like knowing that the emperor of old Russia was called Tzar or the emperor of Rome was called Caesar.
Too many comics, games and TV shows use such names for people to not know them.

They should mod in a dish called Rakfisk. When I visited a friend in Norway 2006... He made Rakfisk.. then we had whale, tastes like liver. Man I love Rakfisk, no not being sarcastic.

I'd have to say that the sheep's head looks just about as appetizing as m?mmi.




It's funny how foods that people originally ate literally out of desperation, like lobsters, hakarl etc. Are considered "exotic delicacies" nowadays.

And Thrall is an old norse word for "slave".

Hmm I wonder if it's "Haus Kerl" (home dude hahaha) in German?

Hoos-Karl - Bless you!

I am Carl of the House.
Housecarl

Thrall is the English version of trell. So Trell=Thrall=Slave. Almost right.

when I first heard them say house carl I thought of this guy--> http://www.homorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/carlton-banks.jpg

True. Thrall is the anglicized version. Though, most of the British Isles were held by the Norse and Danes at some point when these words were in widespread use, so I guess the English at least deserve to have their own version as a memento.

Norse and the Danes? What do you mean? Aren't Danes a part of the norse??

Yes, trees. You have very many. Not as many as Finland, but then Finland has more trees than there are atoms in the Universe.
And Iceland has less ice than Greenland, but more green...

Hey Mousemage, how can you be correcting Bethesda when you guys can't even get the names of your own countries right?

This makes me laugh how quick people are to jump on others mistakes.

Norse is usually used about Norwegians, and Danes about Danes.
One of the warmemorials here in Bergen is written in both Norwegian and English.
Where the Norwegian one used Nordmenn (what we call ourselves, obviously) the English one used Norse.

Of coursse they are norse
I consider Icelandic people,danes,swedes and norwegians as Norse.

So you're Icelandic then?
As that was the only one you used a capital letter for.

Stiglock Holmes at yer service.

Well yeah, it's kind of redundant. It was largely the same civilization spanning from Greenland to Novgorod. Danes were Norse, but the scholars in the english-speaking world tend to talk about Danes when they mean the people who invaded, and ruled large parts of the British Isles in the Viking Age, being that most of them were Danish vikings. Norwegians tended to expand North-West, Danes to the British Isles and the area of modern France, and Swedes towards the East.

I loved this one girl's screwed accent/lack of understanding... "They have cur-vedd saworeds"... say WHAT?

Oh and the mad god actor who doesn't know how "Harumph" is done... He says it like how it was typed... that's pretty much like a dog saying the word "WOOF!". When youharumph it's more like a grunt than a word. Beth really need to get better voice actors.

One thing that Beth needn't have done is use the SAME BLOODY WORDS FOR EVERY DAMNED NPC CHARACTER. Arrow to the knee, some call this junk but I call them treasures etc. Why not say other words for different actors. Was the same problem in Oblivion too... was like everyone was cloned with the same damned brain lol. It ruins the immersion when you hear the same words to the letter from different characters... even when they are different voice actors.

For example the classic "Arrow to the knee". One could say "Sword to the shoulder" while another could say "Axe to the right arm". It has the same meaning but it's not breaking the immersion factor.

Wait, Harumph is a word?
