[ilwongy]

is this a common norwegian name?

[quis_lib_duo]

It's a fairly common name, derived from Old Norse dagr: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dag_(navn) .
Its name day is Sept 11 in Norway, Sept 16 in Sweden.

Finally ! After learning the word for "unemployement benefits" or "moisturizing cream", I know the word for "friend" haha. It was long but worth it.

[Draedark]

"I have a friend who's name is dag" is not an acceptable translation?

[juliencaimi]

*whose name is dag

[ycUvuSap]

Also, names are written with an initial capital letter.

[Candidandelion]

When I write my answers it doesn't make any difference whether I capitalise anything or not. It also ignores all punctuation.

[Alena323]

I also wrote this and didn't even think of "whose". facepalm

[RandyMik]

Shouldn't you translate this 'I have a friend whose name is Dag?' The way Duo translates it, som seems to be left out, and heter is past tense (named). I know both translations mean the same thing, but I'm trying to figure out how relative pronouns get translated...
