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."

i sitt lune hi

better not wake it up :3

In my country this was a game played by children.

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

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

steal it's porridge

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.

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

Ufff, bjørnen sover. Bjørnen spiser meg ikke:)

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

Reminded me of this:
