"Datamaskinen har ingen tilgang til tastaturet."

Translation: The computer has no access to the keyboard.

[Soglio]

What does this mean, exactly? That the keyboard isn't connected to the computer? Or (more humorously) that you can't blame the computer for your keyboarding mistakes? Or something else?

[fveldig]

It's not permitted to use the keyboard.

[Soglio]

Meaning that the computer doesn't permit you to use the keyboard? Or something else?

[fveldig]

The computer isn't permitted to use it. Maybe because the cord is broken or because the keyboard is protected with a password.

[Soglio]

Thank you. That makes sense.

Or it could be a headless system, with no screen or keyboard. So you would just ssh into it from another computer.

What's the etymology behind the word tastatur?

[Luke_5.1991]

Ultimately from Latin "tastare", meaning "to touch".

[JorgeSegni]

I knew the italian word "tastiere" means "keyboard" at least as a musical instrument.

[no_farm_xp]

La tastiera == the keyboard. In Italian. Neat.

[JercaRazva]

hvilken forskjell er mellom ''adgang'' og ''tilgang '' ?

[Gkoukoul]

Press any key to continue

[Kas334864]

I remember those times: there is no keyboard, press any key

[ElijahAaro]

Does keyboard in this translation mean the same thing as like a piano keyboard?

[fveldig]

The keyboard of a piano is called 'klaviatur'.
A digital piano keyboard ias called 'keyboard' (loanword).
The keys on a piano are called 'tangenter'.

'tastatur' is only used for the keyboard of a typewriter or a computer.

[NikosGewrg]

I looked up the phrase on google and it only gives 2 results, both on duolingo. I think it ought to be the other way round, for now anyway, ie: the keyboard has no access to the computer.

ok but why produce sentences that do not make sense without needing discussion.
