    does "ved" only mean "by" or would "beside" also be a correct translation? in English these two words are not quite the same although either one works here.

    I think 'beside' would be 'ved siden av' (literally: by the side of).

      Is it common to pronounce 'ved' like 'hva' as it's done in this audio or is it a bug?

        It's supposed to be like 'veh.' Probably a bug. Listen here: https://forvo.com/word/ved#no
