"Ulven spiser meg."

Translation: The wolf is eating me.

[jacob_sangi]

...That escalated quickly.

[NKO18]

I'm just glad the course is preparing you early on for realistic situations you might encounter in Norway.

[siuyeetsun]

This is my first time saying "Reading the comments is fun " outside of youtube

[Rodrigo470274]

Me too XD

[MadDogSmith]

Haha. Take my lingot!

[.o_]

You should have seen it coming when the wolf ate the elk.

[jaiirapetjan]

Yeah, they say multi-tasking is bad.

[UxorOptima]

Hey, I love you all, I really do :D

[germanic_soul]

Take 2 lingots you have earned them

[AndrijAndrusiak]

said with such an optimtic voice...

[Isaac_Luna_]

Or an indifferent, matter-of-fact voice.

[nadgerz]

It happens so much in Norway it is almost passe

[istantinople]

I was so distracted by the fact that a wolf was eating me that I forgot the type "The"...

[Andrew_Leif]

So... As the person is being eaten, they their last moments telling the internet about it?

[.o_]

Yes. Luke was such a committed chap.

Valued his new Duo course over his life.

rip luke
_2059--2015
'O captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;/The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won'

Rest in pieces sweet prince.

[Bronzdragon]

Luke truly was an amazing man. Time traveller, wise-man, daredevil. Truly an inspiration.

[Luke_5.1991]

:D

Time travelers cannot die.

[AljosaVelj]

No, they have 13 lives, unless the High Council of Time Lords grants them additional regenerations

[R.White]

This must be included into the Norwegian phrase book

[Beingfollowed]

Just imagine someone being attacked by wolfes and pulling out a phrasebook just to be able to say it... To the wolfes.

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

To the wolves?

[Tom642395]

Nei, til elefantene.

[talideon]

So that's what the fox says...

[emeliaricoletti]

I hate how much I love this comment

[stutmf]

I died

[Ulven101]

Mondays, huh?

[Hardyng]

Just one of basic sentences in Norway, I suppose =D

[LaviniaCaroline]

Not so many wolves in Norway. They almost exterminated them all.

[danguerrera]

Not where I live, they are here.

[ManuelVeiga]

I read somewhere that there are only 16 left.

[AlphaSite]

In Norway they also learn how to go with a joke.

[ithorne13]

....is this a phrase I might need to know?

[-Flying-]

Hopefully not

[aleisha.mo]

Doesn't that at least deserve an exclamation point?

[amaratea]

exclamation point is eaten already!

[adam11151]

I find it odd that someone eating salt and ice cream warrants an exclamation mark, but this sentence has a casual period.

[amaratea]

the wolf has eaten the exclamation mark already. Nothing to use anymore.

UPD oh wait, I have left almost the same comment half a year ago...

[warmlettuce]

Use your skills in Norwegian to distract the wolf for a quick escape.

[ep_nl]

Sa Lille Rødhette bestemor.

[itslikecsaki]

...og Duo hørte henne!

[Tanja252889]

Last april i was camping in sweden and there was still a lot of snow. When we returned to our camp one evening there were some wolf tracks leading straight through our camp. As biologists we were all happy and excited. Hoping to maybe see a wolf that night/the next morning i lay in my tent and decided to practice some norwegian. And then this sentence came

[polariisblue]

Oh...Wow. Well, i might need to text someone a heads up, they may never see me again.

[gunce1]

If a wolf eat you, that is not a news. If you eat a wolf, that is a news .

[AdamKrause2]

Well, at least I'll be prepared for camping in Norway

[PatrickOsa]

It would be pretty sad should a person who is being eaten by a wolf would first post the situation online.....if that's even possible

[amaratea]

Warning: if you happen to be eaten by a wolf, run before tweeting about it!

[vintovka]

Of course but first instagram

[uszusz]

Why not a polar bear?

[amaratea]

it's further in the lesson.

[Markus352620]

Can't wait

[CptZimmerFrame]

Jeg er osten. Ulven spiser meg. Nature is weird

[LingvistNesor]

I wouldn't be so calm ...

[Sierscioklates]

From all the discussions and sentences in Duolingo, this thread is my fav.

[lindejanssens]

Oh i don't know, "Jeg er osten" was pretty interesting too ;)

[DavidWinlo]

Men i det minste kan jeg si det på norsk!

[Stoned_Muppet]

I assume this is a sentence Norwegians have to use on a daily basis

[norsknorskman]

good to know this atleast if a wolf starts eating me in norway

[PaoloCosmo]

Fantastisk norsk! Already eaten by a bear!)

[mprdo]

If this were a Duolingo ITALIAN wolf, (s)he would also have a knife in his/her boot and a bee in the bottle! And be good luck. 16May16

[-Flying-]

I don't think I will ever say this in my life for real. but if I do, it will be the last thing I say

[beardshadow]

Dad?

[D109579]

This was hilarious. And wonder if I'm a survivor and telling this story.

[NickSirek1]

Shouldn't there be more emotion and maybe an exclamation point or two??

[Marty62203]

How do you say "aaaaaaaahhhhh" in Norwegian!?

[Lacaradelm1]

Ok this has nothing to do with it, but could someone explain to me why all the Norway-Sweden jokes? I'm not historically informed about what happened

[Deliciae]

It's like a sibling relationship: some competition, a little teasing, and a lot of love.

[RalphReinert]

Ja, vi elsker det landet!

[carolina585166]

If she is so calm saying that I suppose that is normality SO I'm going to die in Norway

[RoyAlMille3]

I'm fairly certain I'll find myself being eaten by a wolf some day and my mind will think back to this lesson. I'll say this phrase perfectly, and everyone around me will ignore my plea for help because they snakker ikke norsk.

[Nehryss]

...But I think I've still got time to practice the most fun course on Duoli...

[Pauline653650]

That would be one fine last tweet. I wonder if he's got time for a selfie.

[CeleryILike]

How did he live to tell the tale?

[Deliciae]

It's the present tense, not the past.

[camogirl17TN]

Really? I couldn't tell.

[Roan866446]

Am I missing something here? I learned in English class that one says "That's been eating me," which, as I remember means 'that has been bothering me." Is that what this means here? Why is it so funny? Or is this a reference to the story Rotkäpchen? (I should look that up in English...)

[AljosaVelj]

"Ulven" translates to "The wolf"

"Som har spist meg" translates to "That has been eating me"

[lepidotos]

I really shouldn't have worn my red cloak...

Nice try

[Oona_7]

/Screams internally/

[kulsss]

Be careful then, boy.

[4oYBIxtO]

71 comments. All this wolf talk is eating me.

[NeonFalcon]

THEN HOW ARE YOU TELLING US?!?!? xD

[4oYBIxtO]

He starts from the feet. He is now up to my knees.

[MartynaKaz8]

that sounds crazy :D

[KaiaSmith64]

well erm.... wow... i wish it had an exclamation point or something......

[Parker327318]

I must ask, was I delicious?

[deactivated user]

oh dear god.

[PumpkinTheFish]

Oh noooooooooooooooooooo

[Rodrigo470274]

Jeg elsken det O.O

[KinddesLichtes]

That's rough, buddy.

[mkmk84]

So, that is the wolf we've been talking about. We saw him and now....Not only some wolf - to make it right in that situation.

[camogirl17TN]

I am the wolf.

[JesseP1063774]

If you need to ask your Norwegian tour guide for help, Duolingo is always there.

[ParimEestlane]

What a horrible sentence :o

[noellica]

She sounded so relaxed and matter of fact, pure comedy

[rucky4]

This is very weird!!, who is going to say that?

[rioka.vi]

Lmao it's the best sentence from duolingo ever

[mkmk84]

So, that is the wolf we've been talking about. We saw him an now.... Not only some wolf - to make it right in the situation.

[nickiru]

I suggest removing meg so that the victim is dependent on the student's imagination rather than inducing a particular victim. Just my psychological perspective...

The spider one was a good example: didn't say what it was eating so I might assume a bug, if not its my fault.
