I am making series of 8x10 portraits and asking the sitter to write something about themselves. Their writing is incorporated into a diptych along with their portrait.
Last week I photographed a young Norwegian woman, and asked her to write what life was like for her right now. She wrote her response in Norwegian, and I didn't ask her what she had written. Does anyone on the forum speak Norwegian, and would you be kind enough to translate what she wrote for me?
Many thanks!
Try Google Translate, it will come close, unless a lot of jargon is used.

Perhaps you could try contacting Ole Tjugen - he hasn't visited here for a while, but maybe would see a PM or an email; also, he's still active on APUG.
Yes, thanks, Ari, I did that. Her handwriting made it difficult to decipher the Norwegian spelling of the third and fifth words. The first two words mean "I am..." and the fourth word is "but." Need help with the two longer words.
Thanks, Oren. I'll give that a shotOriginally Posted by Oren Grad
I think the last word is 'skeptisk'/skeptical. The third word I can't read, but a native speaker might. I only know the odd word from spending a dozen or so summers there.

Looks to me like "Jeg er nysgjerrig, men skeptisk," which would mean "I'm curious but skeptical."
Given the conversation I had with this young person during the shoot, this makes sense. Thanks very much RHITMrB!
I can confirm "I am ... but skeptical" The 3rd word is illegible on the small picture I view.
As many other knowledgeable and intelligent persons he left this forum long time ago, I'm afraid.
