"It cannot rain all the time."

[Barentsz89]

Falsk. Bergen.

[fveldig]

Usant*

[VioletaVeer]

Jeg ble solbrent i Bergen! (og søkkvåt, en annen gang...)

[Liam.Boyd]

Who ever said this has never been to Bergen or the vestland

[FredCapp]

I remember a two week downpour while I was holed up in a cabin in Laerdal, Sognefjord. I think that I may have muttered this a few times,

a day.

[Lisa703217]

What is the difference between using hele or alle?

[YannickDeG1]

I love these references to popular culture

[Lenickai]

How about "Det kan ikke regne alle tiden"?

[EnsomTre]

cries
Eriiiiic!

[arcarimariapia]

In Bergen, trust me, it can.

[FredCapp]

Also in Ketchekan, Alaska …

A week without rain and people start talking drought, while wondering what that bright yellow thing in the sky is.

[rose.boi]

Could we say "alle tiden" instead of "hele tiden"? If not, why?

[effyleven]

What happened to all the comments about Bergen? Did they get "washed" away?

[pfnuesel]

I Bergen det er mulig!

[Ghayth90]

I though ei as a negation is only a literary remnant of Old Norse? How often is it used in common speech?

[Deliciae]

That would depend on the dialect, but "ikke" is indeed vastly more common.

Regardless of dialect you will still run into "ei" in some fixed phrases ("den gang ei", "tro det eller ei"), so it's good to be aware that it can function as a negation.

[Palley92]

Feeling hopeful in Bergen.

[billywm]

Eric?

[mistyx7]

does heltid just mean fulltime, and hele tiden is the whole time, and alltid is all the time yes

[Nashwaak]

Someone's never been to Vancouver!

[yepdopblop]

"Eric?"

[effyleven]

Bergen?
