"Jeg er nordmann og jeg snakker norsk."

Translation: I am Norwegian and I speak Norwegian.

[LadyCailin]

Is "Jeg er norsk" wrong?

[Luke_5.1991]

No.

[JP_Stevenson]

Nordmann makes me think of the older term for scandinavians "North men".

If the "menn" feels weird to use as a woman consider "mankind".

[ReginoldHutchens]

Is "Nordkvinne" a thing too or no?

[Deliciae]

Not really, we tend to use "nordmann" for both sexes.

You would probably be understood if you were to use "nordkvinne", but it's not present in the dictionary.

[svenska1227]

Can we use "Jeg er norsk og jeg snakker norsk?"

[madkri]

Yes.

[Ella294510]

so nordmann means from Norway and norsk is the language of Norway? but also jeg er norsk would be correct?

[PickleSorcerer]

yes

[norsknorge]

Would jeg er en nordmann work with this sentence also?

[Deliciae]

Yes, it would.

[elif_melissa]

I wish i was :)

[kototamopevaaa]

I wish i could be part of such amazing country and society :)

[GrandmaDoll]

One of my extra words was "common". I so wanted to put "I am Norwegian and I speak common"! If you get this, you might be a nerd too... ;-)

[Onfemi]

I don't need Duolingo, just the Tongues spell.

[NerissaKis]

What word is used for Norse (as in "old Norse")?

[En-tyskr-i-Norge]

What dialect? :D

[BuggieTheBug]

so nationalities aren't capitalized in Norwegian? I assume it's also the same for languages

[pselkirk]

Correct. Only the country names are capitalized.

[Jean915248]

So one would not use "nordmann" to talk about literal northmen, but only about people from Norway? A northman could be someone from the northern part of any region, at least in English.

[NerissaKis]

Not so! We wouldn't ever say "northman" except in a very old ballad or in dialect: we'd say "a man from the North". However, here that is not what is being tested or required.

[Aichi837117]

I don't even know why I'm asking this but... Does the name "Normann" (is it with one or two n?) have any ethimological correlation with the word "nordmann"?

[sacelani]

Do they have a word like nordmann for Swedes? Or would it refer to both, because they're both the land to the north?
