"Bjørnen sover."

Translation: The bear is sleeping.

[Archiesmillard]

I remember sover because is kind of sounds like "solve". When you sleep your unconscious brain is working in the background to "solve" problems and work up to solutions. Before going to sleep you tell your partner, "I'm going to sover...maybe I'll have the solution in the morning."

[Lou_Vey]

this is how I will remember this forever

In spanish "sobar" is the colloquial way to say "to sleep" :p

[Nikolas465418]

Pensaba lo mismo jaja solo que es mas una palabra usada por españoles que por otros paises de habla hispana

[Lundhund]

Reminded me of this:

[Cybul_96]

Word "sover" reminds me polish word "sowa" which means "owl".
As we know owls sleep in the day

[JP_Stevenson]

How would you differentiate between "The bear is sleeping" and "The bear sleeps"? Or is it just contextual?

[mainman24]

steal it's porridge

[FilipFilip17]

So “sover” is pronounced /'so:vǝr/ and not /'su:vǝr/. Is there a reference I can for Norwegian pronunciation? (Other than these example sentences.)

Edit: It seems that www.forvo.com does a pretty good job. Too bad they don't use IPA.

[pablussky]

I think I'll remember it cos "sover" sounds similar to "sobar", which means to sleep in Spanish slang

[szatann]

Ufff, bjørnen sover. Bjørnen spiser meg ikke:)
