"En leiker ikke med bjørner" is dialect, no? Should be "leker"

[Deliciae]

"Leiker" is an accepted variant in Bokmål.

Why is "spiller" incorrect?

[Deliciae]

"Spiller" is used in relation to games and musical instruments, so it's a less likely candidate here.

However, should you ever feel the need to warn somebody not to play chess or in a brass band with bears, then it would indeed be the correct word to use.

In Russia we play

[STUBMa0]

Bjornen

[Deliciae]

That's the definite singular form ("the bear"). Here, you want the indefinite plural, "bjørner".

[LizzyLizardLips]

Whats the difference between using "med bjornen" and "for bjornen"?
Do they have any specific difference?
