"Do not touch me!"

Translation: Ikke ta på meg!

[RobinHarry]

So "ta" can mean take, make AND touch?

[Deliciae]

Yes, it can mean 'touch' when used with the preposition 'på'. Beware that 'ta på' can also mean 'put on' (a piece of clothing), so it's one of those words that change meaning according to the context.

We also have the verb 'røre', which means 'to touch' -or- 'to stir'.

"Ikke ta på jakken min!"
"Don't touch my jacket!"
"Don't put on my jacket!"

"Ikke rør jakken min!"
"Don't touch my jacket!"

"Ikke ta jakken min!"
"Don't take my jacket!"

[Stigjohan]

I think there is a pitch accent different between "ta på" meaning "touch" (tonelag 1) and "put on" (tonelag 2)

[Deliciae]

Indeed, and the TTS even gets it right. I'm going to celebrate later! ;)

In writing we still need to rely on context though.

Oi... Where can i learn the tones? I read they're very important but I'm completely deaf to them and duo apparently doesn't teach them...

[7bubble7]

why does rør not work?

[Deliciae]

It works, but that verb does not take a preposition in this context:

"Ikke rør meg!"

[sonoluigi]

Is that what A-ha meant with 'Take on me'? (... he asked 35 years later)
