"Vi spiser ost og et egg."

Translation: We are eating cheese and an egg.

[Ungewitig_Wiht]

Oh man "egg" is such a hard word to remember...

[fveldig]

A helpful tip: 'egg' is 'ei' in german, so that might help you remember the first letter at least :)

LOOL

[Fintanfrex]

In Dutch too, but pronounced different.

(S)He was being sarcastic...

[Ungewitig_Wiht]

I’ve a slight feeling that fveldig was being sarcastic too.

Subjectively Useful Trivia: Egg is the Norse form of the native English word Ey (pron.-"ay") or the plural Eyren (pron- ay-urn) [Like Iron but with an Ay sound], we borrowed the word Egg with the non-softened "g" from the Danish settlers in the early last millennia.

So is salt x.x

[hue.ch]

Cheese and egg is a dish like no other

[tudy1311]

Cheese and an egg. Just one.

[Luqca]

Odd combination of food.

[nonstopdarkness]

Alot of these are. Remember the lemon and single strawberry?

[saunarie]

why is it an egg or one egg and not just simply egg as in, We are eating cheese and egg

[fveldig]

The Norwegian sentence would be "Vi spiser ost og egg" in that case.

[pawkot1993]

So how i can know, that i have to use "et egg" or just "egg"? It does matter i will write "Vi spiser ost og egg" or "Vi spiser en ost og et egg"?

[maria.nils]

English and Norwegian work the same way in this case. Either you specify the amount, or you don't. You can translate directly from English to Norwegian. However, a cheese is normally quite big, so you are more likely to eat cheese than a cheese in one sitting, while eating an egg is a more normal amount.

[olletho]

But we is plural, one egg between multiple people is a touch weird.

[Dette_er_et_navn]

That's just their dietary preference I guess.

[Angela_Pac]

Do you pronounce the "g" in "og"?

[Dette_er_et_navn]

no, it's pronounced more like "oh" I think.

[Langr1]

The answer was "we are eating cheese..." How would you say in Norwegian, "we eat cheese...?" Is it different?

[alantrousers]

I don't think it is. Quite a few languages make no distinction between "We eat" and "We are eating".
