    Sounds like a proverb.

      There's plenty of fish in the sea, kinda? No, not that I know of. (Det er flere fisker i havet, BTW)

      Havnen can't be also havna? Why is not accepted?

            No, just "skip". Like other monosyllabic neuter nouns, "skip" gets no added ending in the indefinite plural.

            Is it just me who struggles to pronounce 'vn' in Norwegian? I find it so hard to say right! I never see anyone talking about it though, so I feel like it's just me. I've tried to think of an example of 'vn' in English words which I could Norwegian-ify to help me pronounce it, but I can't think of any. Any help with this?
