What a ride it has been writing about Trønderisms!

What a ride it has been writing about Trønderisms!

Discovering the words, expressions, and wonderfully curious language and attitudes of the Trønders — and sharing it all with you  has been such a joy.

Since finishing the book, I’ve discovered even more phrases and expressions (believe it or not!). It seems there’s truly no end to the charm of Trønderland  and to the creativity of its people.

This year, I’ve searched Norway high and low and stumbled upon so many new dialect books. Treasures that have sparked fresh inspiration and new ideas for what might come next. The latest word I learned is: 'Fäyslais' which is practically impossible to translate and apparently means that things we plan may not happen?! Mmmm, yes another totally awkward and peculiar Trønder word.

Okay... I rest my case.  

So… I think an update to my field notes is in order and perhaps even an updated edition of the book. Maybe it’ll be ready in time for Christmas… or just after New Year’s. Let’s see!

I’m deeply humbled and grateful for all of your support along this journey.

Sending love your way ❤️🌸

Yours truly,
