"Hvor kjøpte de mikrobølgeovnen sin?"

Translation: Where did they buy their microwave?

[Benniegek8]

Is it just me or is this audio crooked? I hear 'mikrobølgeovnens in'

[Deliciae]

The audio leaves much to be desired for this sentence.

Jeg liker hvordan Norsk oversetter det hele ordet "microwave" i stedet til bare låner det fra Engelsk uten endringer.

[itis_justucetys]

Kan jeg si bare "mikrobølge" som i engelsk?

[Deliciae]

No, but you can say just "mikro", as long as the context is clear.

If 'de" is plural in this, should you use 'sine' instead of sin?

[fveldig]

You would use 'sine' if the object was plural.

[pantzo84]

Ok, thanks :)

Why is 'microwave oven' translated as 'microwave' if Norwegians actually say mikro, just as the English generally say 'microwave' if the context is clear?

[Myron-Ulven]

You can't actually buy a microwave. They are naturally occuring as you engergize particles to a certain wavelength, just as you cant buy light. You can buy a lightbulb or a flashlight, but light is simply energy. Long wat to say microwave oven should be accepted.
