"We are attempting to save time and money."

Translation: Vi forsøker å spare tid og penger.

[AlsEenPoffertje]

When do you use "på" with "spare" and when not?

[fveldig]

When it's not about money, you should use 'på' afaik.

[AlsEenPoffertje]

Ah, that clears it up. Tusen takk! :D

[lingokvinne]

Is there any functional difference between 'forsøker' and 'prøver'?

[AlsEenPoffertje]

I've been told that "å forsøke" sounds more formal than "å prøve," meaning you'd be more likely to use forsøke in a more academic setting.

[lingokvinne]

thanks!!

Hva er forksjell mellom prøve og forsøke?

[Adrian442793]

They’re pretty interchangeable. It’s like the difference between “try” (“prøve”) and “attempt” (“forsøke”).

“Forsøke” is a little bit more formal.

“Prøve” has a wider range of meanings. You can “test” a class, test a new car, test the effects of a chemical, etc.
